⏪90s ๐บ90210's ๐heartthrob David Silver aka Brian Austin Green — recently shared that Brian Austin Green isn't his real name. ๐ฎ
I used to be a huge 90210 fan ๐๐พ♀️ so this ๐name ๐ฐnews really piqued my interest. ๐ ๐งWhat could his real name be then? Something so shockingly different? ๐จ Or just the ↪first↩ and ↪middle↩ name swap of being: Austin Brian Green perhaps? ๐ค
Turns out it's much more simpler. Brian Austin Green's real name is just: ๐Brian Green.
๐คจ
He was not given a middle name by his parents as a boy. ๐
He gave himself a middle name as a man. ๐
๐Austin. The name ๐Austin means, "great, magnificent" in Latin and is the shortened form of the name ๐Augustine (derived from the name ๐Augustus). Austin is at #107 in popularity ๐ on the US Top 1000. Austin is also a surname.๐ As well, ๐Austin is a city in Texas.
On the podcast ๐Pod Meets World๐ he is featured on, he tells his name story: “My mom had a whole name planned for me when she was pregnant and I had really broad shoulders as a baby, so she had a real hard time in labor. And my dad—who smoked a lot of pot at this point in life—while my mom was in the middle of labor, he came forward, and he was like, ‘Can we name him Brian?’” Joking that his mom’s reaction was, “Name him, whatever the f--- you want. Just get him out of me,” Brian continues, “That was literally the only name he came up with. He came up with no middle name, no anything. So, it was just Brian Green.”
⏩Fast forward to Brian as a young man and entering his acting career. He explains, “All of a sudden, SAG is going, ‘Yeah, there's another Brian Green in the union so you have to come up with a middle name,’” Brian recalled, later adding, “I don't think you can be in the union with the same name as somebody else. You have to have some sort of thing that differentiates so they can keep track of checks when they come in. They can monitor, they can do all the stuff that they, as a union, do."
Brian remarks on his hunt for a middle ๐ name, "Brian Green is not a very easy name to come up with a middle name for, where the whole thing flows very well. We almost named me Brian Peter Green after my mom's dad, but then my initials would have been P, so it was Brian P. Green, and they’re like, 'that’s probably not a good start.' That'll make or break a career so, we went through a bunch of names, and we ended up going through the map and Austin fit."
๐Austin certainly was the perfect fit. ๐๐พ I can't imagine Brian Peter Green ๐ฌ as Brian Austin Green's name instead — it does not have that certain something that Austin has. ๐คท๐พ♀️ ๐Austin ๐ is the name that makes Brian's entire name stand out.
I like the name ๐Austin a lot — it's an attractive, rugged yet smooth name — and Brian Green certainly made the right choice ✅ in choosing Austin as his middle ๐ name. ๐๐พ
