I honestly have no idea and did not know what to tell her. Anyone on here know why he named his son Blanket? |

| It's a nickname. He's really Michael Jackson Jr. |

He doesn't go by Michael.
He is referred to as "Blanket" by the media. |

Even though Michael Jackson was a disgusting pedophile I am going to defend him just a bit here. The kids name is Prince Michael Jackson II. He just gave him the nickname Blanket because as he told Oprah "blankets are comforting" *barf* |

Because whenever he went out in public, he had a blanket over his head for privacy. He was named that by the media.
You know it's not his real name, right? |

| His name is Prince Michael II but they started calling him Blanket. I supposed he could have legally changed it but it wasn't his name at birth. Also not sure why II. |

| His birth name is Prince Michael Jackson II. |

| Is Blanket any different than Apple or North or Bear? |

Not named by the media. Michael Jackson nicknamed him that. He said that to "blanket" someone is like a blessing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej7zCv5pMGU |

Apparently he is trying to change his name but the website who wrote this article still calls him Blanket at the end of the article. |

| I think it is going to be difficult for him to erase the "Blanket" moniker. |
