Kit Harington

The "Game of Thrones" heartthrob Kit Harington revealed that his parents didn't tell him that his real name wasn't Kit until he was 11 years old. "I think they could see that I wanted to be Kit, but Christopher was a bit of a tradition," Harington explained. "My brother's name is Jack, but his real name is John. Kit is traditionally an offshoot of Christopher, it's just not used that often. My middle name is Catesby."
