Ladbible.com reported that Marie Unicorn - who was previously called Marie Naisbitt - changed her name by deed poll three years ago after realising her real name 'didn't spark joy'.  Marie Unicorn also realised that she disliked her straight black hair and 'sensible' dark-coloured mum outfits as they didn't reflect her authentic self so in 2019, she cleared out her wardrobe and hit the hair dye bottle.  Themum-of-two, who's loved unicorns since she was a child, decided to embrace vibrant multi-coloured hair and ditch dark outfits for brightly coloured clothing.

As the medical secretary started to feel 'more her', people started commenting that she even looked like a unicorn, convincing her to take the plunge and fill indeed poll forms to change her name.  The 36-year-old said plumber hubby Patrick Naisbitt, 38, jokingly asked if she was having a midlife crisis, but fully supported her and told her to 'do whatever makes you happy'.  Three years on Marie Unicorn hasn't looked back, and now daughters Elouise, 14, and 10-year-old Esme have even taken on the Sparkles moniker too.  Read more about Unicorn Sparkles here.
