A US businessman has changed his name to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
''cooler'' and ''more recognisable''
The 23-year-old man - who was formerly known as Tyler Gold - opted to legally change his moniker because he believes the dinosaur name is much ''cooler'' and ''more recognisable'' than his old title.
He is quoted by the York News-Times as saying: ''As an entrepreneur, name recognition is important and the new name is more recognisable''.
When changing his name, Gold - whose full moniker is now Tyrannosaurus Rex Joseph Gold - was asked whether he was choosing a different name to hide from creditors, but he said those factors were nothing to do with his decision.
