It’s Always Sunny star Rob McElhenney files to legally change his name
Why Rob McElhenney is filing to legally change his name
- Actor Rob McElhenney has filed legal documents in Los Angeles to officially change his name to Rob Mac.
- The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and star made the decision due to concerns that his original surname is difficult to pronounce in “other regions of the world.”
- McElhenney's company, More Better Productions, is expanding its investments into South America, where he believes his multi-syllabic name could hinder business negotiations.
- He had already been using Rob Mac in business dealings for several weeks prior to the official filing.
- While some relatives supported the change, his wife Kaitlin Olson noted their two sons were unhappy about the decision as they share the original surname.
