YORK, Neb. (AP) — A 23-year-old southeast Nebraska man has legally become
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The York News-Times reports (http://bit.ly/JYWFYf ) that the man entered the
York County courtroom on Monday as Tyler Gold and left it with the moniker
Tyrannosaurus Rex Joseph Gold.
Gold says in his public filing for the change that the dinosaur's name is
cooler. He says that "as an entrepreneur, name recognition is important and the
new name is more recognizable." The newspaper report does not describe his line
of business.
Judge Alan Gless asked Gold at Monday's hearing whether he wanted a new name
so he could hide from creditors or law enforcement. Gold said no.
Gless noted that Gold had gone through the proper legal channels for changing
his name, so the judge granted Gold's request.
