    Rick Perry? Birth Certificate says James Richard Perry

    Rick Perry? Birth Certificate says James Richard Perry

    Real Names of Politicians

    We know them as Rick and Mitt, but their parents named them James and Willard. Click through and see which other American politicians tweaked their names -- or changed them altogether.

    Politician's public name: Rick Perry

    Politician's birth name: James Richard Perry

    After Donald Trump spent time with Rick Perry and then said, "I had dinner last night with Jim Perry, I was impressed with him," people thought The Donald might have had some memory loss. Turns out, the 2012 hopeful was given the name James Richard by his parents (he shared the initials JRP with his father, Joseph Ray Perry). By high school, however, Perry was already going by Ricky.

    Politician's public name: Mitt Romney

    Politician's birth name: Willard Mitt Romney

    Mitt may be an unusual first name, but at least it doesn't make Romney sound like a grandfather (even though he is).

    RELATED: Who's running for president in 2012?

    Willard Mitt Romney was named after J. Willard Marriott, founder of the hotel chain and a friend of Mitt's dad, former Michigan Gov. George Romney. Romney is currently making his second bid at the presidency, after losing the 2008 GOP nomination to John McCain.less

    Which name sounds better?
    Mitt Romney
    Willard Romney

    Politician's public name: Newt Gingrich

    Politician's birth name: Newton Leroy McPherson

    One of the politicians who can easily be identified by a single name, Newt was affectionately known as "Little Newtie" as a baby. His father, Newton C. McPherson Jr., and his mother, Kathleen, split soon after marrying.

    A young Newt was later adopted by his mother's new husband, Robert Gingrich.

    Politician's public name: Ross Perot

    Politician's birth name: Henry Ray Perot

    H. Ray Perot -- Ross to you and me -- changed his middle name at the age of 12. Ross was his father's middle name, but perhaps more importantly, it was also the name of his brother, who died of meningitis. The oil

    tycoon ran unsuccessfully for president in 1992 and 1996, first as an independent, then as a Reform Party nominee.

    He was more successful in business, and is currently Forbes' 99th richest person in America.

    Politician's public name: Sonny Bono

    Politician's birth name: Salvatore Phillip Bono

    Before he was a Republican congressman from Palm Springs, Bono was a singer and TV star with his wife, Cher. Apparently, Salvatore wasn't a good fit the recording business, so in 1965, Bono started using the

    name Sonny.

    Bono was mayor of Palm Springs before he served in congress in the mid-'90s. He died in a skiing accident in 1998.

    Politician's public name: John Edwards

    Politician's birth name: Johnny Reid Edwards

    These days, John Edwards may be longing for a simpler time -- like back when he was just Johnny, son of a mill worker. The former North Carolina senator is now under indictment, accused of breaking campaign finance laws

    by taking money to conceal an affair.

    RELATED: The John Edwards case decoded

    Edwards (seen here leaving federal court in North Carolina) says he's not guilty, but the entire ordeal is a dramatic fall from grace for a man who was twice a serious contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, and who was the party's VP nominee in 2004.

    Politician's public name: Gerald Ford

    Politician's birth name: Leslie Lynch King Jr.

    Like Gingrich and Clinton, Ford's mother remarried early in his life. She left her first husband when the future president was only two weeks old, and married Gerald Ford, Sr. less than three years later.

    RELATED: What president could have become a football player

    Gerald Ford, Jr. took the family name when he was in his teens. The late president said his biological father was a deadbeat dad who "didn't really give a damn about the hopes and dreams of his firstborn son."
