Celebrity Middle Names Stars With Seriously Strange Monikers

Comment

Jennifer Shrader Lawrence

Shrader is probably some kind of family name, but it’s also rad AF. It fits perfectly with the recently engaged star’s cool girl persona — and has us picturing some kind of young J.Law tearing up the skate park.

Kate Garry Hudson

You don’t see a lot of women named Garry, but it somehow works for Kate Hudson. The star has always been fearless about doing her own thing.

Elton Hercules John

How cool is that name? According to Radio Times, the star’s real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight, but he picked the new moniker himself and had it legally changed.

Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, a.k.a Cardi B

The rapper has a cool middle name, but it’s hard to think of it as “weird” when you hear her full name. When your first name is Belcalis, you can’t get much more original than that.

Hilary Erhard Duff

Erhard could also be a family name seeing as it’s a German man’s name, but we still like it for the Younger star. It’s got some real dignity, don’t you think?

Hailey Rhode Baldwin

She may have changed her last name from Baldwin to Bieber, but we’re hoping she sticks with “Rhode,” because we kind of love it’s super chill vibe.

Kristen Jaymes Stewart

Couldn’t you see K.Stew being one of those girls who has a boy name? We could see her rocking “Jaymes” now that she’s fully come into her own punk personality.

Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin

No, that’s not a typo. In November 2018, he ran a poll asking his fans what he should legally change his middle name to. The options were “Shark Week,” “Kieran” (a.k.a. his brother’s name), “TheMcRibIsBack,” “Publicity Stunt,” and, of course, “Macaulay Culkin.” We think the right one won.

Solange Piaget Knowles

Jean Piaget was a famous Swiss psychologist that students still learn about today. Considering Solange and her sister are musical geniuses, it totally makes sense.

Comment

Mason Dash Disick

Dash makes total sense when you consider that it was Mason’s grandpa’s nickname — but it’s also pretty cute that his mom found a way of incorporating her family’s name into his moniker without getting too obvious.

Comment

Elizabeth Stamatina “Tina” Fey

Stamatina is a Greek name you don’t hear around too much, but it turns out that Tina Fey’s stage name is just a nickname for her middle name. Her parents actually named her Elizabeth.

Comment

Michael Bakari Jordan

We know him as Michael B. Jordan, but you likely didn’t know what the “B” stood for before now. Bakari is Swahili, which is probably why it seems like something straight out of Black Panther.

Comment

Jeremiah Robert Duggar and Jedidiah Robert Duggar

“Robert” is pretty common for both a first and middle name, but we think it’s pretty cute that these two Counting On stars share it. After all, these twins shared a womb — so it’s pretty fitting.

Comment

Noah Darkcloud Brown

Learning the real names of all the Alaskan Bush People stars can be surprising, but Darkcloud seems like a particularly pessimistic choice.

Comment

Merry Christmas Katherine Raindrop Brown

Katherine is a totally normal middle name. Raindrop? Less so. But that’s where Rain got the name that she goes by now — which is probably way more convenient than going by her first name, Merry Christmas.
