John Lennon’s son Julian Lennon is explaining his name-change.
The musician changed his name from John Charles Julian Lennon to Julian Charles John Lennon in 2020.
In a new interview, he talked about his decision explaining, “It was in 2020, just before we all got locked in a cage that I finally actually decided to legally change my name by default. Because originally my name was John Charles Julian Lennon, and the crap that I had to deal with when travellng and security companies and this and that and the other. Whenever you had to present yourself, especially on like boarding passes, just as an example, you know they only use your first name, and so it would always be John Lennon, John Lennon.”
Lennon said he, “Became quite fearful and anxious about those scenarios because there would always be wise cracks or jokes. So 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. So finally I just decided in 2020, ‘Yeah, I wanna be me now. This is it, it’s time for a change.’”
