That Is NOT Your Name…! 10 Celebs Whose Government Names Were A Surprise To Us

Plies – Algernod Lanier Washington
It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen Plies do anything on the music scene (not that I was a real fan or anything, though “Shawty” was my joint), but when I happened to look up the many interesting names of celebrities, I couldn’t help but have my eyes bug out at the sight of the name, Algernod. Now, I’m not sure how exactly that’s pronounced, but I don’t think there’s a way to say it that sounds alluring or cool. Ooooh, or maybe if it’s pronounced, “Al-jer-neaux”? No? Okay, I just thought I’d try. Allegedly though, the stage name Plies comes from the name they call successful drug dealers in Fort Myers, Florida.
