Julian Lennon Reveals the Important Reason Why He Changed His Name
Son of the late John Lennon and Cynthia Powell confirmed that he legally changed his name from “John Charles Julian Lennon” to “Julian Charles John Lennon.”
“It was in 2020, just before we all got locked in a cage that I finally actually decided to legally change my name
The crap that I had to deal with when traveling and security companies and this and that and the other,” the 59-year-old singer-songwriter explained.
“It became really uncomfortable over the years because I’ve always been known as Julian and so it [being called John] never felt like it was me.”
Lennon added that the name change has opened up “a whole other world” for him. “Not that I’m ashamed or have disrespect. I needed to be me.
In addition to simply rearranging his name to “respect the legacy and the wishes” of his parents, Lennon has become a successful singer and songwriter in his own right.
