Answers: i mean, what was he thinking?
No, his birth name is Birth Name: Arnold George Dorsey and
he was born May 2, 1936, in Madras, India. His family moved to the UK with his family after the war. He started off his with the name Gerry Dorsey in 1956 at first before he reached fame in his present artist name.
Humperdinck - comes from a 19th-century composer, his long ago manager chose the name.
I mean..hello, it sure as hell is memorable isn't it!?
It sounds really rude doesnt it?
His parents were hippies.
It sounds sexual.
I thought his mom did...hmm...
This will puzzle me until the day I die...shock factor maybe? Sexual repression??
The question is what were his parents thinking?
He lost a bet. His birth name was Joe Smith. :)
Could've been worse
Could've been George W. Bush
:P
You know that isn't a made up name right? It is a real name, just not Arnold Dorsey's original name.
The original was a early 20th century composer.
Dorsey's manager just thought the name would be noticable. He was right!
i thought his mom chose the name for him
He must have been on drugs that day
He got drunk, put on a blindfold, and reached into a bag of Scrabble tiles.
He nicked it from a German composer.
A sad, pointless laughable theft, that was probably Alcohol related.
