TMZ has learned Heidi Klum was officially docked a few precious sexy points today -- because she just had her last name legally changed from "Klum" to "Samuel."
The Victoria's Secret supermodel filed papers early last month asking permission to take on the last name of her husband, Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel -- she was finally given the okay today.
It could have been worse ... she could have changed her name to Heidi Olusegun.
1. Good for her. Oh and TMZ you could be no worse.

4. As a PROUD Nigerian I take offence to that xenophobic remark. There is nothign wrong with having Olusegun as a last name.

12. I think its lovely that she will have the same last name as her husband and children. She is the same person but to children names are important.

13. OH!! The Horror!!!! A Married woman wants to take on her husband's surname. It's the end of our way of life as we know it. All that is good and wholesome in the world is now gone. Oh, blessed heavens, whatever shall we do!?

14. Why so racist TMZ? What's wrong with a white woman with a Nigerian name?

15. The name "Olusegun" is from the Yoruba Tribe of Nigerian. Seal is Nigerian and all of his names after his first one name his lineage, as is the cultural ways of many Africans all over the continents.
And "egun" or "Ogun" had religious and spiritual significance within the Yoruba traditional faith system. There's no difference between "Olusegun" and "Johnson" to me, but of course you would see the difference since you have a set way of thinking what's normal, or not.
Look......You guys come off real ignorant, uneducated, and just plain myopic when you try to appeal to the masses with such obviously racist and culturally insensitive comments.
Harvey, I know the money is good, but how about acting like you're educated once in a while?
