Nadia Bartel has fallen victim to a bizarre act of Wikipedia vandalism.
For several months, her Wikipedia page listed her middle name as ‘Lorraine’ – even though the former AFL WAG doesn’t have a middle name.
An anonymous user quietly edited the article on October 25, 2021, to list her full name as ‘Nadia Lorraine Bartel (née Coppolino)’.
How unfortunate! Nadia Bartel has fallen victim to a bizarre act of Wikipedia vandalism
This subtle change went unnoticed until January 12 when another anonymous user – possibly Nadia herself – corrected the article and removed ‘Lorraine’ from her name.
In the revision history log, the user noted: ‘Removed Lorraine as middle name as she has no middle name so that information isn’t correct.’
It’s unclear why the vandal changed Nadia’s name on her Wikipedia page, which had only been created a month earlier, on September 4, 2021.

The name Lorraine is of French origin, and isn’t a common first name for Italian girls.
Nadia has previously described herself as being ‘from a traditional Italian family’.
The vandal may have edited the Wikipedia article to embarrass Nadia because the name Lorraine is considered quite old-fashioned.

The fashion designer was born Nadia Coppolino, and changed her name to Nadia Bartel when she married AFL player Jimmy Bartel in 2014.
This appears to be the only change she has made to her name.
Last November, Nadia defended her decision to keep her famous ex-husband’s surname after their divorce was finalised in August 2021.

She explained her choice after a troll commented on her Instagram: ‘Nadia, can you change your surname back, so you are no longer riding on the coattails of Jimmy’s successful career?’
‘I want the same last name as my children. Can I ask why you have such a problem with it? You don’t know me,’ she responded, referring to her sons Aston and Henley.
‘Who knows what will happen for me in the future, but right now when they are so young it’s hard to have a different surname to them.’
