What was John Lennon's birth name?

John Lennon was born John Winston Lennon (with "Winston" coming from then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill), but he hated his middle name.After he married Yoko Ono in 1969, a discussion between the two about how women changed their names for their husbands (she became Yoko Ono Lennon upon their marriage), but men didn't change theirs for their wives, prompted Lennon to change his middle name to Ono.Under British law he could not technically drop his middle name, but he could add a new one, so he became "John Winston Ono Lennon" for legal purposes (including his "green card" in the United States).
