Macauley Culkin is officially Macauley Macauley Culkin Culkin. At an event over the weekend marking the 35th anniversary of Home Alone, the actor confirmed for the first time that he had legally changed his middle name from "Carson" in 2019 after the overwhelming favorite for a new one in a poll on his website was "Macauley Culkin," Rolling Stone reports. "The final vote was Macaulay Culkin," he told the crowd at the Long Island event. "So my name is Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin. If somebody comes up to me at the airport and says, 'Excuse me, are you Macaulay Culkin?' I can say, 'Well, Macaulay Culkin is my middle name.'"
