By now, you must have noticed something different about a few USWNT players’ jerseys in the ongoing SheBelieves Cup. We’d be surprised if you hadn’t but Lindsey Horan has been playing with a different name alongside her iconic No. 10—specifically, Heaps. She isn’t alone; Lynn Williams has also taken Biyendolo as her surname. Since then, the change has been met with both excitement and skepticism from fans. But for Kelley O’Hara, the veteran has had to ‘program‘ her mind to remember these two U.S. stars.

Both Lindsey and Lynn recently married and decided to take the last names of their respective husbands. To be honest, at one point, everyone was left confused after Emma Hayes dropped the roster and saw their names. Many were almost under the impression that these were new faces on the national team. And if this sounds relatable, then you surely are not alone.

In the latest episode of the ‘Sports are Fun’ podcast, O’Hara shared her own similar yet hilarious reaction to these last name changes. “Somebody said Lindsey Heaps in the pre-game on the first game and I said, “Who’s Lindsey Heaps?” began Kelley, “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Lindsey Horan…oh!'”

Yes! This exactly must have been your reaction we reckon. Then again, it’s completely normal and in fact, an honest mistake. “My mind is not programed to know you as Lindsey Heaps or Lynn Biyendolo,” added the former Gotham FC star. But it’s not something O’Hara doesn’t want to embrace. The wingback is rather pleased to see there are still women athletes who are open to taking their significant other’s surname.

“But I love it because I’m like, ‘My girls got married.’ So it’s exciting to know that they’re in this next chapter. And I like that some people choose to change their name; some people don’t,” added O’Hara, sending her best wishes to both ex-Horan and ex-Williams.

Notably, it’s not the first time we have witnessed this. Fellow USWNT star Mallory Swanson used to be addressed with Pugh years ago before she finally got married. So we’re remaining open to seeing more changes in the future if and when they do come. Either way, it was indeed quite a hilarious yet honest reaction from Kelley O’Hara. Then again, it’s not the response from the former player that concerns Heaps!

Lindsey Heaps concerned over USWNT ‘s reaction to name change!

It’s not like the new name doesn’t suit the USWNT skipper. But we do recall that Lindsey Horan used to be called “The Great Horan.” For those wondering who gave them this nickname, it was none other than her national teammate Rose Lavelle. Though there’s no specific reason why the fellow midfielder called Lindsey this way, the name somehow struck her mind. However, this well-known nickname may no longer be relevant now that the Lyon star married her husband Tyler Heaps.

Interestingly, this became a topic of discussion during an interview with The Women’s Game podcast. Ex-USWNT star and host Sam Mewis joked with Lindsey that people would now have to refer to her as ‘The Great Heaps’. However, the former Horan seemed slightly unsure about the change. “Do you think Rose is okay?” she asked Mewis, who reassured her that The Great Heaps a beautiful name. Amused, the Lyon star responded, “We’ll see what Lavelle thinks.”

Of course, Lavelle’s approval holds weight, as she was the one who originally came up with this infamous nickname. But we have no doubt that Rose will understand the USWNT captain’s decision to take her husband’s last name.
