The Los Angeles/California/Anaheim Angels have gone and changed their name again, according to [this site](http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1958082). They will now be know as the _Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim_, apparently thinking you can sell more tickets with alliteration. With the obvious exception of the NHL’s _The Mighty Ducks_ (who remembers hockey?), is there a dumber name in major league sports?
