SHEBOYGAN - An
unemployed Wisconsin teen spent the first 19 years of his life as
Calvin Gosz, but after selling his naming rights you can now call
him Verkkokauppa Com.
Gosz says he was
running out of money so he went on eBay and offered to legally
change his name for $5,000. The Finnish consumer electronics Web
site took him up on it.
The purchase was
finalized Friday and the money sent via PayPal shortly after noon.
Gosz says he was
surprised to find a taker — and surprised they transferred the
money — but he's excited the company was able to support him.
Gosz says he plans
to start the name-change process next week, though he admits at this
point he has doesn't know how to do it. He said the company didn't
give him a deadline.
