Friday, August 29, 2008 Bengals wide receiver changes last name to Ocho Cinco Associated Press
CINCINNATI -- Maybe receiver Chad Johnson can go by the name that his head coach hates.
The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn't return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.

For some reason, I just think this is hilarious. I can't wait for the announcers to start referring to him as "Ocho Cinco."

Wow. Chad really went through with it.

I can't wait for the announcers to start referring to him as "Ocho Cinco." Very soon he will be known as the wide receiver formerly known as Ocho Cinco as he changes his name to a unpronounceable cuniform symbol.

In related news, Bill Clinton today announced his intention to change his last name to “Sesente y Nueve”.

Here's the funniest line from the story:
"After the season, coach Marvin Lewis -- who dislikes Johnson's attention-getting stunts -- referred to the receiver as "Ocho Psycho.""Wonder what his parents think? (Like he even cares)

I love it. The NFL had no sense of humor. Now, the joke’s on them.

I am changing mine to “Cinco De Mayo I Don’t Mind The Mayans.” I'm changing mine to "five Mexicans in a leaky boat," or Quatro Sinko for short.

You know, the funny thing is that The Receiver Formerly Known As Chad Johnson's jersey number is Eighty-Five, yet he has actually chosen to call himself "Eight Five". He should be called "Ochenta y cinco" which is what eighty-five is in Californian....errr, I mean Spanish.

Since he had it changed in Florida, he must’ve grown weary of always being taunted,...”Hey Chad, How’s it Hangin’”?

An interesting name. But it doesn’t hold a candle to the basketball player “World B. Free”.
