I know about 8 people who have changed there name and not been married they just changed it because they did not like there old one.
I didn't use deed poll when I divorced. I simply started to use my maiden name and changed my passport and driving license to my maiden name with no hassle what-so-ever. Deed poll is not necessary, you can legally call yourself whatever you want so long as it is not for fraudulent purposes.
