Huh?!!! :shock: I never heard of this as long as I have remembered them being the Jackson 5.
These are the birth names
They havent used them though, its not uncommon to give children nicknames when they have long birth names.
Tito: Toriano Adaryll
Marlon: Marlon David
Jackie: Sigmund Esco
Jermaine: Jermaine Lajaune
Janet: Janet Damita Jo
Rebbie: Maureen Reillette
LaToya: La Toya Yvonne
Randy: Steven Randall Jackson
Another thing... Stevie Wonder's real name is not Stevie Wonder.
His birth name is: Steveland Hardaway Judkins and then was later changed to: Stevland Hardaway Morris.
The same goes for
Freddy Mercury, lead singer of Queen, if you didnt know, his birth name was: Farrokh Bulsara.
I have an uncle who we call by our last name. So when we speak to him we actually refer to him as
''lastname lastname'' instead of using his first name, because its really long.
Our surname became his nickname.
