‘I legally changed my name when I was in secondary school. It’s only legally that I get called Jasmine. My family still call me Ikea, or ‘Kea’ for short.’

ジャスミン, an NHS administration assistant, said her mother agreed to the name change – despite the family enjoying perks from Ikea after her birth.

彼女は言いました: ‘When I was younger my mum got a letter from Ikea that basically said we could get furniture and toys free of charge.

‘I got a few toys and my mum got a sofa.’

Jasmine is now using her middle name chosen by her father as her forename while keeping Ikea as her middle name.

And she’s stayed loyal to the store by furnishing her flat with a branded six-drawer commode – plus is considering buying a built-in wardrobe from the chain.

Jasmine said she is keen to visit her local Ikea on a sentimental trip.

彼女は付け加えた: ‘I went to Ikea when I was one or two but as an adult I’ve never been – I really want to go.’
