I wrote down the names of some celebrities that were on the list in this article.
Jennifer Shrader
LawrenceLiv Rundgren
Tyler (She thought that
Todd Rundgren was her dad, so honoring her stepdad)
Carlos Irwin Estevez (
Charlie Sheen)
Elton Hercules John (Maybe he was named to be flamboyant)
Rosemarie Braddock DeWitt
Daniel Wroughton
CraigDianna Ernestine RossMartin Hayter Short
Mila Markovna Kunis (actually a patronymic, not really a mn)
Ben Teza Affleck
Uma Karuna Thurman
Hugh Mungo Grant (I want to think of Blazing Saddles when I see
Mungo)
Alicia Augello Keys
Nicholas Caradoc Houldt
Ciara Princess HarrisQuincy Delight Jones (this one surprised me)
Rain Joan of Arc
PhoenixRalph Twistleton Wykeham Fiennes
Zoe Yadira Saldana
Zach Knight Galifianakis
Blake Tollison
SheltonElizabeth Stamatina "
Tina" Fey
Mel Colm-Cille Gibson
Solange Ijiat Knowles
Arnold Alois Schwarbenegger
Nicholas Kim Cage (Coppola)
Adele Blue Adkins (I guess using Blue as a name isn't new)
Luke and
Owen Cunningham
Wilson
Some of them seem to be family names. Just because the writers (or I) wouldn't use them doesn't mean that using a family last name as a mn is unusual.
