george michaels name is kinda on the funky side - i cant even pronounce most of it!

and nelly aka Cornell Iral Hayes, Jr

George Michael is of Greek (?) heritage, so the name sounds and reads differently.

Kind of like Freddie Mercury's real name is Farooq Bulsara.

Changing names allows for more mainstream appeal

BTW: Cornell Iral Hayes sounds like a real estate agents name, so Nelly did a good thing

Nelly sounds like an actual nickname derived from Cornell, so it's cool with me.

A Farsi I believe. He changed his name and the rest as they say is history!

The info below is from music effect:

[i]Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara on Thursday September 5th 1946 on the small spice island of Zanzibar. His parents, Bomi and Jer Bulsara, were both Persian. His father, Bomi, was a civil servant, working as a High Court cashier for the British Government. Freddie's sister, Kashmira, was born in 1952. In 1954, at the age of eight, Freddie was shipped to St Peter's English boarding school in Panchgani, about fifty miles outside Bombay. It was there his friends began to call him Freddie, a name the family also adopted[/i].

Stevie Wonder; Steveland Hardaway Judkins
Marvin Gaye; Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr (he dropped the 'e'
David Bowie; David Jones

ELGIN LUMPKIN!!?? HAAAAA!!!! That name sounds like one of Fred Sanford's friends. Bubba, Skillet, Grady and Elgin Lumpkin.

nurse said:

Lumpkin I supposed couldn't be helped, but with a surname like that you'd think the parents would've tried for a less dork-sounding first name. Guess not...

Here's one. MC Hammer is Stanley Burrell.
