About
What's Your Street Name? or Street Name vs. Real Name is a trend in which people share their street name, meaning the nickname they use "on the streets," then reveal their real name, which is something much more common and less threatening than their street name. The trend began on TikTok in late August 2024 and continued to spread over the following months, also becoming popularized on YouTube Shorts. The majority of videos in the trend are fake and meant as parodies of the original video.
Origin
On August 19th, 2024, TikToker[1] @corey__14 posted a video in which he asked several football players what their "street names" are, then asked them for their real names, garnering over 17.6 million views in a month. Each player gives a long, threatening, complex name for their street name, then a very normal name for their real name. For example, the first person's street name is "See-7-Hop-Out-With-That-Big-Drake" and his real name is "Cornelius."
