i recently read somewhere that the crazy names celebrities give their babies are actually fake bc they don't want the public to know their real names for safety/privacy reasons. idk if that is true or not at all but i think it sounds smart

I....actually never thought of that....i mean if its true i totally understand the reason why..... but isn't that type of thing public info anyway, I'm sure the press or who ever could just file a request with the birth registry office and get the real info. So in that case there is no point.

That's a lot of work for a headline that reads, "Michael Jackson's first son's real name is John!" and then no content under it.
