Macaulay's middle is Macaulay

The actor reached out to his dedicated fanbase via his website Bunny Ears in a post, entitled ‘Macaualey Culkin Needs A New Middle Name’, for “some better options” to change his original middle name ‘Carson’ to “something cool”.

After fielding results, he whittled down the hundreds of suggestions to just five - ‘Publicity Stunt’, ‘TheMcRibIsBack’, ‘Kieran’, ‘Shark Week’ and ‘Macauley Culkin’ - which he put to a final vote.

He urged everyone to not "be the kind of person who cries on Christmas. Be the kind of person that chooses my new middle name,” before eventually picking his first name.
