A dad convinced his daughter that her middle name was Banana Face.

Dad's name prank

Dad's name prank

Richard Holmes, 26, from Birmingham, shared an ongoing joke with his seven-year-old daughter Katie-Ann that he had given her the unusual moniker but always believed she knew he was joking - until he spotted the name in her homework.

In an 'About me' section in his daughter's homework, the girl wrote that she had an ''embarrassing name'' and would never tell anybody including her best friends.

She wrote: ''I will never even tell my best friends/BFFs even if they ask nicely.''

Richard soon discovered the name in her work and laughed hysterically.

He said: ''When I read the part where she says 'I'm not going to tell even if they ask me nicely' I was in bits, I was laughing so much.''

The prankster dad has since shared the amusing encounter and said he has received a positive response so far.

He added: ''Katie-Ann can relax now that she knows her middle name isn't 'Banana Face', even though I am quite tempted to change it.''
