Kit Harington

If you thought that the Game of Thrones star had an unusual name, that is because “Kit” isn’t Harrington’s real name. Rather, it was a nickname that was bestowed upon him as a child. Amazingly, Harrington would only find out that his name was “Christopher” when he turned eleven! So, what is Jon Snow’s actual full name? Try the upper-class-sounding “Christopher Catesby Harrington” out for size. The name Kit is rather cute, don’t you think?

Jason Derulo

Alright, this next birth name of the successful American singer-songwriter is quite similar to his stage one. Can you guess what it is? If you thought of “Joel Desrouleaux”, then you were correct! Derulo seems to be a more manageable version of the original, as we cannot imagine introducing ourselves like that at a concert in front of millions of people. Derulo recently broke into acting, with the tragically critically panned cinematic adaptation of Cats.
