Thomas Rhett Akins doesn't sound like a rock star name. I didn't leave Akins out to convince people my dad wasn't my dad. I've always been called Thomas Rhett.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a junior, so my dad's name is Thomas Rhett Akins as well. So literally, from the day I was born, it was Thomas Rhett. It wasn't Thomas or Rhett, it was Thomas Rhett.
If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.
My dad was a movie star. Having that name was good and bad. People think it's a silver spoon. It's not.
My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That's what my parents called me. I also got 'Teddy Ruxpin' a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it, so when a teacher called out 'James Franco' my junior year of high school, I didn't correct her.
Carson is an old family name, though my grandma used to watch Johnny all the time and was crazy about him.
My father had wanted to name me for Dylan Thomas. He had seen him speak on one of those drunken poetry tours he did.
We knew we'd never find someone called Rock Hard, which was our ideal name, and for a while we toyed with the idea of just creating the character but never letting him get seen.
One of my other nicknames was Thomas Edison, because I invented so many moves.
Because Dad was famous, I was so used to being identified as 'John Huston's daughter' that I couldn't think of myself as anyone else.
Thomas was my true name but everyone knew me as Mick, except my mother, who knew me as definitely Michael.
