CINCINNATI, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson has legally changed his name to "Chad Javon Ocho Cinco."
The flamboyant and outspoken Miami native had initially changed his name to Ocho Cinco -- a reference to his jersey number in Spanish -- during warm-ups before a game against Atlanta in 2006. But quarterback Carson Palmer ripped off the nameplate to reveal C. Johnson because the name change was a violation of NFL uniform rules.
