Question: What was Elvis Presley's Middle Name?

Answer: When Elvis was born, his parents chose "Aron" as his middle name, using that particular spelling so that it would be similar to his identical twin's middle name. However, state records listed his middle name as "Aaron." When Elvis was older, he decided to use the traditional "Aaron" and it is now considered to be the official spelling of his name.
