Frank Ocean: Christopher Edwin Breaux

In a 2011 interview with complex, Ocean revealed he changed his name legally a year prior because it didn’t seem cool enough.

He said: "I changed my name on my birthday last year. It was the most empowering sh*t I did in 2010, for sure. I went on LegalZoom and changed my name. It just felt cool.

"None of us are our names.

"If you don’t like your name then change your name. I’m only a few steps into the process, so I probably shouldn’t even be talking about this, but by the beginning of summer I’ll be straight. I’ll be boarding planes as Christopher Francis Ocean."
