Christina Aguilera Explained How Industry Execs Tried To Change Her Last Name
Christina Aguilera opened up about facing pressure to change her last name in the entertainment industry.
Todd Williamson / NBCUniversal / NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images“It’s not the easiest name for everyone to pronounce,” Xtina added. “It’s been butchered a lot.”
Frazer Harrison / Getty ImagesAs for the “bad names that [she] could have been,” Christina preferred not to repeat what was in the cards from industry execs.
Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images“But I was like, ‘No, I’m Aguilera. I’m proud of where I come from, my father being from Ecuador,'” she said. “Why not come full circle in all of the chapters and close it on a name, my name?”
Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images for amfARThis isn’t the first time Christina has addressed earlier discussions surrounding her name. Back in 2020, she recalled, “I remember when I was first coming up, there was a big debate around me on changing my last name because all the businessmen around me thought it was too long, too complicated, and too ethnic.”
