NFL recognizes ‘Ochocinco’ for Bengals’ wide receiver

CINCINNATI (AP) — Oh-oh, Ocho. The Bengals’ top receiver has yet another name.

The National Football League had agreed to let the player formerly known as Chad Johnson wear his new name on the back of his jersey this season. There’s one catch for the receiver: It’s not exactly how he wanted it.

Instead of Ocho Cinco, he’ll be Ochocinco.

The receiver legally changed his name in Florida last August. He asked the league and the media to call him Chad Ocho Cinco, a two-word nickname he had adopted referring to his No. 85.
