what is elton johns middle name

[Greenbhoy]

Elton John doesn't have a middle name, it is just Elton John.

Reginald Dwight, on the other hand has Kenneth for a middle name.

In A Pickle.  Has Elton changed his name by Deed Poll then from Reginald Kenneth Dwight to Elton Hercules John?

It wouldn't surprise me - I am just really interested!

He took the name Hercules from the horse in the BBC sitcom Steptoe and Son

I believe he has changed his name by deed poll, to Elton Hercules John - since no-one calls him Reg any more - except maybe David in private.

Just remembered, there is a song called 'Hercules' on the 'Honky Chateau' album - it's about a cat - so maybe he just likes the name.

Thanks In A Pickle and Andy.

sorry, I stand corrected.
