Eugene, Ore. -- An Oregon man, inspired by a character on the TV series "Chuck," has succeeded in his quest to change his name to Captain Awesome.

Douglas Allen Smith Jr., 27, of the Eugene-Springfield area, was granted the name change request last month by a Lane County Circuit Court judge after it was initially refused by another judge in an informal "ex-parte" hearing, The Register Guard newspaper in Eugene reported Tuesday.

Awesome said his name change was inspired by Dr. Devon "Captain Awesome" Woodcomb, a character on NBC series "Chuck."

"I just thought it was really funny that Devon's father always called him Captain Awesome because 'a poor nickname builds good character,' " Awesome said.
