What's in a Name?


What's one thing that you have that defines you, let's people know who you are and where you come from? A name. With that in mind, we've seen over the years people changing their names or going to one name in order to draw attention to themselves: Cher, Prince, Ronaldo, Pele, and Nene just to mention a few. So now we can add to that list Chad 'Ocho Cinco'. According to reports, the artist formerly known as Chad Johnson has changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco. This would allow him to wear Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey without being fined for the incident that he and Carson Palmer pulled last year. I'm not sure how his momma took the news, but from a marketing standpoint (which sports is becoming more and more) this is brilliant. I can just see the #85 Bengals jersey's flying off the shelves now.

What do you guys think about this?
