Actually, Idol isn't his fn (m)
I remember seeing this on the news when the auditions were actually held several months ago. His full name is Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan (McCowan being the ln--which is similar to Cowell, so Simon as his fn really would've been quite apt, lol). Mom's name is Antoria. I'm not a big fan of Jamil but it's MUCH better than Idol. I thought I remembered hearing his fn wasn't Idol, but on the show last night they definitely made it sound like it was. :-/ http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=3463234&page=1

I didn't know that :) When they showed her on the show, she said that she named her son Idol due to going into labor awaiting the auditions. Thats all she said. So I assumed that was his only name haha lol. That is good to know :)

Phew!Jamil is much better than Idol. I know a Jamila and I always loved her name. Jamil takes a bit of getting used to, but I like the sounds of it very much. Idol as a name would have been awful.
