Chad Johnson Legally Changes Name To "Ocho Cinco"

So Chad Johnson finally did what he said he was going to do. What's that you ask? 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, according to several media reports. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn’t return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.

"It’s something I don’t think anyone has ever done before,” he told the team’s Web site. “Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I’m having fun."

Two years ago, Chad gave himself the name Ocho Cinco, which in spanish translates to the numbers 85, which is his jersey number on the team. He even went as far as to put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis—who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts—referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”
