#ash does not like her bio parents and views her old name as an extension of them

Today’s Random Headcannon: Names

The Moon Theatre Trio (Meena, Ash, and Johnny) have different legal names than their common names. Why? Because it’s interesting and cute.

Johnathan Demarcus Taylor

Johnny’s is the most obvious with his legal first name actually being Johnathan. However, he’s never called that even when he’s in trouble, with his family calling him his Hindi name Jahnu in more serious situations. Johnny is also his stage name as well so he rarely even has people call him Johnathan on accident. Plus, the last time he was called Johnathan, he was disowned and the time before that his mum died so, everyone knows to avoid using that name like the plague.

Minha Farrah Amari

Meena’s name is actually spelled Minha and is pronounced Min-ha. Her teachers at school just kept saying Meena instead so she began to just go by it to avoid confrontation. Her family still calls her Minha always however, and Meena acts as a stage name now that she performs.

Alana Gabriella Batalla

Ash’s name is legally Alana. However, she stopped going by it when she felt home at 17. She picked Ash as her stage name around the same time and started going by it in everyday life as well. She only occasionally get’s called Alana by her bio parents whenever they try to contact her. The rest of the times she needs a formal name, she goes by her new one, Ashlen.
