NEBRASKA — It may be a little prehistoric, but a 23-year-old American man’s new name will certainly get him noticed.

The Nebraska businessman walked into a court room yesterday afternoon as Tyler Gold and left as Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Gold claims to have filed for the change because the dinosaur’s name is “cooler,” according to the York News-Times.

His new legal moniker will now be Tyrannosaurus Rex Joseph Gold.

He said that “As an entrepreneur, name recognition is important and the new name is more recognizable.”

It is not known what line of business

Judge Alan Gless asked Gold at the hearing whether he wanted a new name so he could hide from creditors or law enforcement.

Gold said no such factors affected his decision.

Gless noted that Gold had gone through the proper legal channels for changing his name, so the judge granted Gold’s request.
