Yesterday in spite-related name-change news, we learned about the man who became War Machine. Today, the word on the street is that lithium-needing Bengals receiver Chad Johnson has officially changed his last name to Ocho Cinco.
According to Miami radio station 790 The Ticket, which is in Johnson’s hometown, the receiver has legally changed his last name to “Ocho Cinco.” Johnson’s — sorry — Ocho Cinco’s reported name change has been rumored in NFL circles for weeks, and according to the station today, it’s official.
Johnson forewarned the public that a major surprise was coming during a recent interview with Chris McKendry on ESPN’s SportsCenter.
Some folks are already calling him an idiot, but I have to say, I think this is terrific. We should all get to choose whatever name we want. Pleasure to meet you, I’m Rock. Rock Thunderballs.

Hi, I’m Mr. Yourmom, first name Fing
his future wife and kids are pretty pumped.
He will be all over the 7 ate 9 jokes.
My names Max Power. I got it from a hair dryer.
I’ve always been pretty partial to the name Cobble Doodlepox myself. Or perhaps Manish Meddlepuff.
Osi Umenyiora changed his last name to ‘dos’
As a sign of unity, I heard Carson Palmer changed his name to ‘El Limpo Wristo’.

@Drunken Eagles Fan:
Max Power… he’s the man who’s name you’d love to touch! But you mustn’t touch! His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it, you mustn’t fear! ‘Cause his name can be said by anyone!
well, like War Machine and Vince Young and others, he needs to make sure that he gets his name tattooed on him. You know, in case he ever has amnesia.
Fuckstick McGee. Glad to meet you.

Hank Scorpio all the way.
