Sure, you might have already known that Drake was going by his middle name (to shake the Jimmy Brooks image or perhaps because the first name Aubrey wasn’t tough enough), but do you know what Moby’s real name is? What about Skrillex? Well, Mental Floss has a way of piquing our interest about things we’ve never even thought about, and their list of celebrities’ real names is pretty darn interesting. So we took a cue from them and sleuthed out a few of our own, too. Check out some celebs’ real names you never even thought about below. 


Skrillex says his nickname doesn’t really mean anything, just something he acquired growing up. Pretty cool nickname if you ask me. Check out more of these interesting real names in the gallery!

Did you find any of these surprising?
