Because he liked his name and he didn't want to change it because of his dad or even he never thought of changing his name.
No, contrary to internet myths, the president has never changed his name, nor has he ever used his step-father's name. He has always been Barack Obama, although at times he preferred to be called Barry rather than Barack.
He has no other last names. He was born as Barack Obama, he has lived all his life as Barack Obama (although in high school, he wanted to be called "Barry," he never legally changed his name). There are many internet myths about the president, but his name has never changed, nor did his step-father ever adopt him and change his last name.
never
He never used the name "Barry Sotero" (actually Soetoro), so there was no reason to change it. He inherited his biological father's name (Obama) but never took his step-father's last name. For a time in high school and college, he used the nick-name "Barry" but then decided to use his actual name, Barack.
Barack Obama is the actual name of President Obama. It is not an adopted name, it is the name that was bestowed upon him by his mother, in Hawaii. It should be noted that there are various internet myths which claim his name is actually Barry Soetoro, but this is not accurate. Mr. Obama never changed his name, nor did Lolo Soetoro, his step-dad, ever legally adopt him. Mr. Obama's name is the same now as when he was born-- and he has never changed it.
There is no such person as Michael Obama. This is, sad to say, a bad joke that can be found on several anti-Obama websites and in some disreputable tabloids. Michelle Obama, the wife of the president, is in fact a woman; she was never named Michael, and there is no evidence that she plans to change her gender or her name.
His name was Barack Obama. And after his mom remarried, his name remained Barack Obama. There is a popular but false internet myth, spread by a group called the "birthers" (who believe President Obama was not born in the USA) that Barack Obama was adopted by his step-dad and became Barry Soetoro. Totally false, with no credible facts to support it. As numerous fact-checkers have noted, while Barack Obama got along well with his step-father, he was never adopted and did not change his name at any time.
His last name is Obama. It is a name he inherited from his father, who came from Africa. There are many internet myths about him, including the false assertion that he was adopted by his step-father, but his name has never changed and the internet myths are not accurate. His name has always been Barack Obama.
Barack Obama's father's name before he converted to Islam was Barack Obama Sr.
No- his name was never changed. He went by Barry in high school.
Never. This is an old, and frequently debunked, internet myth, put forward by the Birthers, a group who refuse to accept that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii and is a U.S. citizen. While he did live for four years in Indonesia, there is no credible evidence that his step-father ever adopted him. Most reliable sources, including relatives and long-time friends, have said repeatedly that he was always Barack Obama and never changed his name to anything else.
Obama is the last name of the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama.
