TMZ reports that Frank Ocean has legally ditched his birth name, Christopher Edwin Breaux, in favor of his artistic persona. Ocean's request for a legal name change was approved today in Los Angeles after he filed formal legal documents a year ago. The process was held up due to some driver's license issues. R.I.P. Chris Breaux, we hardly knew ye.
