I share my name with a celebrity and I hate it – I’m legally changing it, we even have the same middle name
STATISTICALLY speaking, it’s likely someone out there has the same name as you.
One TikToker shares her name with a household name, and she plans on changing it.
TikTok user @selmargom revealed that she shares her full name with an A-list celebrity.
In a video showing her name on official documents, the influencer shared that she would be changing it in two weeks.
The TikTok user’s full name was shown to be Selena M Gomez, with the ‘M’ standing for Marie.
Viewers pointed out that Marie is also the middle name of the founder of Rare Beauty.
In a follow up video, Selena explained that while she is changing her name, it’s not because of the Only Murders in the Building actress.
“The reason that I’m changing my last name is that I’m getting married next week at Disney World, so I’m going to be taking my fiance’s last name,” she revealed.
Selena explained: “I was born in the 90s. Selena Gomez, the celebrity you’re thinking of, was born in the 90s. She wasn’t famous when I was born.
“My mom loved the name Selena, Marie is a very common middle name, and Gomez is a very common Hispanic last name,” she clarified.
The TikToker shared that she always found it funny sharing her name with the former Disney star and only posted her original video about changing her name as a joke.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share other examples of people who share their names with famous stars.
“I can’t wait till I can change mine from Hannah Baker.. Looks like Selena Gomez terrorized us both,” joked one viewer.
Another follower said: “My husband’s name is Nick Carter and no joke… He literally gets fan mail.”
“My grandpa’s name is Harry Potter lol,” commented a third person.
