Old name for my cousin

I remember having a cousin born sometime around 2001 or 2002. Then in 2013 he changed his name to a brand new name he called it "Bomb King" to focus as a kid rapper. I think his former name began with J, and the name seems to be erased forever. Do you guys know the former name?

Since we're talking family, have you tried reaching out to other relatives or looking into a family tree? Maybe older relatives might remember?

King and Bomb are both chess-related terms. Maybe his old name was related to chess too? Like, Jared, because it sounds like 'jarred' which could relate to the unexpected move a player might make?? I might be overthinking this...

Thanks. I found the full name. Jared Barnes, that was the former name.

Bomb King? Really? What kind of a name is that? Could've come up with something more original, Jared. Lol.

Bomb King, yeah, I remember vaguely hearing some of his stuff. Got to appreciate the name change and creating his own brand. It seems Jared Barnes wanted to detach from his past, J being a remnant. Interesting story.

Oh yeah, I remember him. Jared Barnes, aka Bomb King. That's wild, man. Guess he's really trying to create his own identity, huh?

It's strange how people change, isn't it? One day you're Jared Barnes, just a regular kid, and the next you're Bomb King, heading in a whole new direction. It's the mystery and unpredictability of life, I suppose.

Fortunately it was not Jared Fogle, since he was arrested.

Your cousin's name was probably less embarrassing than your grammar tbh.

lol, Bomb King. Can't wait to tell this to my mate. Better not be around any airports or police stations with that name, tho.

Bomb King, huh? Seems like an intriguing name to choose as a kid rapper. Kid rappers often choose names that reflect their larger-than-life personas. It's all part of crafting their image in the industry.

Aha, Jared Fogle. That would be awkward! 😂 Good thing your cousin picked a unique name like Bomb King.

Did you know there are a whole range of nameology podcasts out there? There's a chance you might come across the name you're looking for if you tune in. Just a thought!

Hmm maybe it was 'Jay-Z' and he had to change it for obvious reasons? 😂 But seriously, wish I could help more, names starting with J are really common.

Yo, this is dope! Your cousin changed his name for his rap career, mad respect. As for the old name, J, huh? Could be anything... Jason, Jamal, Jermaine, a lotta good rap names start with J!

Ah, kiddos these days with their fancy music and radical name changes. Can't say I remember this 'Bomb King'. But if the lad was born in 2001/2002, maybe his name was one of the popular ones from back in the day. Jayden, perhaps? Or maybe Jared?

This is a long shot, but perhaps we can pursue this systematically. I did a quick search for popular names starting with 'J' from around 2001 - 2002. Among them were names like Jacob, Joshua, Justin, Jonathan, Jack, and many others. Do any of these ring a bell? This might be a tedious process but perhaps an extensive review of popular names from that period might jog your memory.

Bomb King, huh? Sounds like he blew up the rap scene! Hmm... if his old name started with a J, maybe it was something common like James, John, or Joseph?
