PlaceboWorld!!!

I don't know where to post it... I just tried for a long time to figure out Brian's middle name but all was in vain. And yesterday I noticed on flickr a girl's comment on a Placebo photo, she said there 'Brian Thomas Molko Farrell'. I asked her if it was his real full name and where the info was from. She said she didn't remember the source but it was his real name and she advised me to google. I was searching but all I found is a Spanish wikipedia and a Spanish last.fm, plus a lot of fan fotolog accounts in Spanish.

But counting that everyone can update wikipedia and last.fm, maybe you know a more reliable source

Thanks for the info.

Thomas sounds...weird. I prefer Stefan's Alexander.

and what is Farrel? Does that mean anything special related to his last name?

BTW, Stefan's full name is Stefan Alexander Bo Olsdal, anyone could explain that weird 'Bo'? Is that something similar to 'Von' in German?

You're welcome but don't forget this info can be wrong until we find some kind of confirmation

Bo is Stef's middle name, so is Alexader. So Stef has 2 middle names: Alexander and Bo. Though it sounds weird, Bo is really a rare masculine name in Sweden

I think if it's all true, Farrel is Brian's second surname or a he has a double surname, I don't know how to explaine it I suppose it can be a last name of his mother. You know, in Spain, for example, people have a first name, a middle name (like in England) and a complex surname which consists of your father's surname and your mother's surname. Sometimes you can find such last names in English-speaking countries too. For instance, Fiona Apple, her full name is Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart (McAfee is her mother's last name and Maggart is a last name of her father, Fiona and Apple are the first and the middle names)

I asked one of my friend who's currently in Sweden about this, she told me about Stefan's three given name XD. And according to her description, Bo sounds much like 'No!' in Chinese.

And I think maybe Farrel was his mother's last name, but if so it would be kinda weird since people usually mother's last name ahead of father's.

Although Thomas sounds weird but Farrel is not that bad, sounds nice.

Very interesting. I had no idea!

Bo is also a girl name in Korea

Maybe it's not necessary In Spanish-speaking countries father's last name is always ahead of mother's.

Thomas is a good name, but too manly for Brian. Something more poetic (like Alexander) could suit him more

Haha, great information. Nice to know that! I like both, Brian's and Stefan's.

Hey, girls, is anyone planning to ask a question? I'd like to ask but don't know what to put in the subject of the letter and the full name means your name + surname?

I think they mean name & surname. Otherwise they'd write to include your first name only.
