I always thought you had to have a unique professional name if you were a member of SAG/AFTRA. THIS Peyton List has the exact same name as the teenager on the Disney Channel who plays in "Jessie." How can this be?
sharewe have been discussing it a while ago and we just don't know how it happened. But the younger Peyton did clarify it in an interview once. The older Peyton signed up with her middle name and the younger with hers, I think.
shareSo one of them shouldn't be using Peyton List as their professional name if they signed up using their middle name. Phot 1 of the blond is obviously the other Peyton as it looks nothing like this Peyton.
shareThe one who signed her SAG card last should make an adjustment.
shareWell the actress from Jessie is sometimes Credited as Peyton Roi List/Peyton R List because of that i don't think one of them has change their name
I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down Just a phase I'm going through
The person that was listed afterwards has to add something distinguishing to their name. There are a ton of examples
Michael Jordan & Michael B. Jordan
Vanessa Williams & Vanessa L. Williams
Parker Posey & Parker McKenna Posey
Peyton List & Peyton R. List
Wow, that list is incredible! "Michael Jordan" is understandable as both names are very common and there are far fewer popular names for boys than girls. "Vanessa Williams" is coincidental, but "Williams" is pretty common surname and "Vanessa" is a traditional name. But "Parker Posey" and "Peyton List"?! Of those four name (first and last), I've only ever known one person with the first name "Parker" and it was a guy (although it is a common last name - Spider Man comes to mind). People do often give girls first names that are surnames ("Mackenzie" comes to mind) but it seems so extremely unlikely that not only did two sets of of parents with the last name "List" named their daughters "Peyton" and that those daughters both pursued acting successfully. I've always thought those people that read names like numerology or astrology were as loony as... people who believe in numerology and astrology. ;) Maybe there is something to it!
shareThe younger Peyton from Jessie goes by the name Peyton Roi List now.
share"it seems so extremely unlikely that not only did two sets of parents with the last name "List" name their daughters "Peyton" and that those daughters both pursued acting successfully"
My thoughts exactly. I agree that two Michael Jordan or Vanessa Williams isn't that suprising, but Peyton List and Parker Posey are such rare combinations that the odds must be incredibly high to have more than one successful actress with those names.
