Sheboygan man tries to sell the rights to his name

Unemployed and desperate, a 19-year-old Sheboygan man is trying to sell one of the only things he owns — his name. Calvin Gosz has put the rights to give him a new name on eBay. He said if people can have a name like Mercedes for free, "why wouldn't McDonald's pay for me to have Ronald McDonald as a name?" Gosz said he moved to Wisconsin from Florida in September. He's filled out more than a dozen job applications, but so far no luck.
