The question still remains on whether wide receiver Chad Ochocinco will remain with the Cincinnati Bengals after next season, but one thing the baller does know is that he's finished with the "Ochocinco" thing:"I'm changing my name back to Johnson," Ochocinco told Trey Wingo on NFL Live. ""I don't have a choice right now. I've done enough with the Ocho thing."
Back in 2006, the Chad made name patches with "Ocho Cinco" on them to put on his jerseys. He wore them around in pre-game warm-ups but was not allowed to wear them in-game.
To combat this problem, he legally changed his name to "Chad Ochocinco," before the 2008 season so he could officially wear the name on his jerseys.
Of course, "Ocho Cinco" is Spanish for eight-five, an allusion to his jersey number. Check out his announcement, along with a discussion of the future of the Bengals here:

While I enjoyed watching Chad's reality show last season when it first came on; at this point I'm sick of him and his total preference for white, and latino women.

Oncho, don't be a silly man. You were silly on Dancing With The Stars with the gift to your partner, now you are talking aboug changing your name to Johnson. Come on, there is nothing worst than being a "silly" man. Leave your name alone and GROW UP!

Chad, Chad, I don't think he knows who he wants to be anymore? I hated his reality show. He acted real conceited, arrogant, and stupid on his show along with his choice and pick in woman. His character STINKS! In my opinion, he don't even PLAY THAT GOOD IN FOOTBALL! Why does he think by changing his name to Johnson will make him a better player and br a more serious & mature person to find to find love? GIVE ME A BREAK! HE WAS A HOT MESS on DWTS! "OOCHO NO, NO"! The NFL Player, his friend that I REALLY ENJOY WATCHIN on TV was "The TO Reality Show".

Is this guy a boy or a man? Would he grow up and stop making himself stop looking like a idiot.
