Quirky lawyer Rob Moodie has officially changed his name to Miss Alice.

That's first name Miss, last name Alice.

The 68-year-old Feilding lawyer made a statutory declaration to the registrar of births, deaths, and marriages to make the name change legal, The Dominion Post reported.

He had also applied to the High Court to have his name changed on the roll of barristers and solicitors, and the Law Society had been advised.

He has already worn an Alice in Wonderland outfit to the Court of Appeal and said he would continue to wear women's clothes for court appearances.

"Some days I'm in court and I'm the prettiest thing there," he told hte newspaper

The married father-of-three has previously worn kaftans as a protest at macho culture.

He returned to wearing women's clothing this year as a protest against what he claimed was the corrupt way King Country farmers Margaret and Keith Berryman were treated after an army-built bridge on their farm collapsed, killing the man who was driving across it.
