Bright Idea?

An employee of Chilthern Railways in the United Kingdom is marking the 125th birthday of the Marylebone station -- and her own 20th anniversary with the railroad -- by changing her name to Rehana Marylebone Khawaja, Metro News reported.

She said she would have made it her first name had her children not objected.

"The station itself is not big. But it's got a soul," she said.

"It's warm and welcoming. Not every London station is like that."

Khawaja started in a ticket office and now works in security.
