Maria Sharapova's name change brings back memories of other sportstars doing the same

4) Greg White/Stylez G. White

Atlanta Falcons v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFL player Greg White changed his name to Stylez G. White in 2008. It wasn’t for religious or business reasons, but for personal reasons. You see, White loved a particular character in a cult movie titled “Teen Wolf” so much that he decided he wanted the same name as well.

This was either a desperate attempt for cheap publicity, or one man’s love for a movie character gone too far. You be the judge of that.
