Is Jarome Iginla's Full Name Really...

Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla?

I just saw this on Wikipedia and had to laugh. If it is, that's too cool.

Why use Jerome when you could have been ELVIS?

Soooooo ... is he black? or white? or half-half? or native?

Jarome screams black to me. But all the other names open the doors to anything.

Arthur-Leigh Seems scottish.
Adekunle Seems like a name someone from sudan or from an african tribe would have.

Adekunle is Nigerian.

His dad (Adekunle) changed his name to Elvis to make it easier to pronounce.

Yah, Jarome's 7 names are awesome.

I smell the 13th overall pick in the draft coming on. Stafford, Zagrapan and Myers (kind of).

Come on now, if that was really the reason he would be called Bob. Elvis is just cooler.

This is true. Little known fun fact: Adekunle is Nigerian for "creased forehead".

Ok, not that I'm disagreeing cause I wouldn't know his dad from a hole in the ground but why does he have to get his picture taken with a cardboard cutout of his son?
