John R. Cash, or J.R as his family called him when he was younger was a outlaw country singer, He was called Johnny Cash during his career which ignored his middle name, but what did the R stand for?

Respuesta :

The 'R' stands for nothing. His birth name was JR Cash not Johnny Cash.

Explanation:

When Johnny Cash was born his parents couldn't decide on a name for him so they just went with JR. His real name is JR.

JR are technically initials and not an actual name which caused a problem for him when he wanted to enlist in the airforce, initials were not allowed. Therefore he enlisted himself as John R Cash. He later changed it to Johnny Cash as he gained popularity in the music world.
