Tennis star Maria Sharapova has reportedly set in motion a plan to change her last name to Sugarpova for the duration of the U.S. Open. The Russian opened a candy company by that name and is said to have sunk half a million dollars into it.
According to several reports, Sharapova has approached the Florida Supreme Court about the possibility of changing her name.

Could be worse — she could be changing her name to “He Hate Me” or “Meta World Peace”
I’m pretty sure she would not let me pour sugar on her.
Oh and...TTIUWP
Or Ochocinco
The next time I see her I’m going to try to talk her into changing her name to Mrs. VeggieTodd. That is, unless she was serious about getting that restraining order....
Ah Maria!
If I could slow you down sometime
I’d like to try and change your mind.
You’re really not the one to blame,
You sweet sticky thing.

Why not do the first name too? "Candy Sugarpova."
Sad that a star athlete would be promoting a product that does not good to anyone’s health.
She is VERY “healthy”.
Hmm... I just assumed that Michael Bloomberg was banned from FreeRepublic. Guess I was wrong.
It is sad, but it is her thing. Not sure why.
My vote: Sugarpuss O’Shea
Whew...what a relief.
I was afraid she was changing Maria to Mike...
It doesn’t matter much now...
Just days before the start of the 2013 U.S. Open, third-seeded Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from the tournament, citing continued problems with a right shoulder injury.
Sharapova has played only one match on tour since her surprising second-round exit from Wimbledon in June. Most recently, she made news earlier this week when seeking to play under the name “Maria Sugarpova,” a reference to her new brand of gummy candies.
