Donald Glover got his rap alter-ego name from a Wu-Tang name generator

Lin-Manuel Miranda, Donald Glover, Issa Rae & Damien Chazelle: Epic Conversation on Creativity | THR

Today I learned that Donald Glover got his rapper name Childish Gambino from this online Wu-Tang Clan name generator. It’s not new news (though the info was new to me, and perhaps to you as well), as he mentions it in this 2016 Hollywood Reporter roundtable discussion. He says, “If I had known it was going to be something for real, I wouldn’t have used it.”

Thanks, Robin!
