Country Stars’ Real Names: Bucky Covington
Real Name: William Joel Covington III
Bucky Covington's nickname is derived from his grandfather's nickname. He also has a twin brother named Rocky, whose name isn't really "Rocky" -- it's Robert David Covington. The singer is one of two artists on this list that are the third in their family to be honored with the same name. It's hard to argue that Covington looks like anything but a "Bucky," isn't it?
