If you would/could change your legal name, who would you become?

[amayo]

Larry Flynt

[Dr. Whiplash]

Ocho Cinco es infermo en su cabeza.

[Ace Purple]

Say what you will about Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, but the man sure knows how to draw attention to himself.

[Scott Reppert]

If I could change my name? Hmmm. If I followed the Chad Johnson method I could go Tres Quatro (then I could always pass myself off as Suzi's brother). If I used the "porn star formula for creating a name" I'd be Pooh Carleton. But if I really did change it I'd probably go with what half the people I know call me anyway: Skeeb Wilcox...

[Bar Rat]

Mike and Mike brought up something I didn't know...

Ocho Cinco means Eight Five. It doesn't mean eighty five.

Now I ask... what happens when Chad Jay-von Thug Wannabe Whatever goes to another team and that team has 85 retired? I think that oughtta be the Bengals final act in this whole soap opera.

Edit: http://www.nfl.com/history/retirednumbers -- says Detroit and St. Louis would be his only destinations. I'm kinda surprised that there are so few numbers on the shelf.

Yeah technically it should be

ochenta cinco

[Jay Nunley]

He only chose that name because both "Supreme Fucktard Johnson" and "Gaping Asshole Johnson" were already taken. Not surprisingly, both those names belong to people who work as media buyers (one of them used to be a radio consultant).
