Ever wonder if the stars have a secret stash of names hidden up their cosmic sleeves? Well, just as Mercury decided to throw a little curveball in December’s sky, Dylan Efron—yes, Zac’s charmingly mysterious brother—revealed a revelation that’s got me blinking at the calendar and questioning everything I thought I knew. You see, this heartthrob with the Santa Claus swagger has been moonlighting under a name that’s not quite his own. Turns out, the guy we collectively swooned over prefers to be called Dylan, but his birth certificate tells a whole different story: Nicholas Dylan Harrison Efron. Talk about a name game that even the stars might envy on this whimsical December day! So, next time someone calls you by a nickname, ask yourself—are your stars aligned or is there a Nicholas hiding in plain sight? Ready to dive into the delightful name twist and all the sass that followed? LEARN MORE.

Zac Efron’s Brother Dylan Efron Shares His Actual Name

Lately, it feels like Dylan constantly attempts to break the internet with a strategically shared thirst trap, as seen when he dressed up as a hot Santa Claus for Yahoo! Mail on Dec. 11.

Honestly, now I believe in Santa again.

But recently, Dylan exposed something else besides his chiseled midriff — his real name. During a Hot Goss interview with E! News to promote his new web series, Everything’s A Competition, with his buddy and Traitors costar Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, Dylan revealed that he hasn’t been going by his actual name this entire time.

It all started when hosts Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts asked Boston Rob to guess Dylan’s middle name, and even he struggled.

Bob started from the beginning…

If you’re asking yourself, “Wait a minute. Who’s Nicholas?” You’re not alone.

Dylan revealed his full name is Nicholas Dylan Harrison Efron.

He “axed off” Nicholas and prefers to go by Dylan. So, according to Zac’s little bro, “Harrison” is the correct answer for his middle name because, since he goes by Dylan, “everything gets bumped up.”

Even Boston Rob, who obviously spends a lot of time with Dylan, wasn’t having it, so my shock feels validated.

And in case you’re wondering (because I was), Dylan’s brother Zac’s full name isn’t actually Link Troy Carlyle St. Cloud, but he does have a two-middle-name situation — it’s Zachary David Alexander Efron.

Well, that was a surprise! Too bad I’m not calling him Dylan or Nicholas. He’s Santa Claus until further notice.
