So turns out his real name is Robert John Linder, which just sounds so weird to me now. Like, I didn’t really expect Johnny Silverhand to be his real name, but really? Robert? It just feels so out of character for him.

    TF you mean? My name in real life is Christopher, but I look like a Phat Kak Nguyen.

    Don’t be hatin’. Snake Plissken’s name was also Bob.

    There is a very real chance that (being from Texas,) at some point in his life, Johnny Silverhand was on the receiving end of a “dangit, Bobby!”

    Middle name is John. Probably goes by his middle name. And people call him Johnny

    Kind of undercuts the whole edgy, anti-establishment rockerboy vibe when you’re a grown man who calls himself “Johnny”

    I mean, his parents gave him that name 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Yep his full birth name is Robert John Linder and he was born on November 16th, 1988 in College Station, Texas.

    It was clear for me that he couldn’t be named “Silverhand” and ironically have a silver hand , but how?

    Wanna hear something crazier, that’s probably a copy of the rocker boy engram

    Like many people who left Texas, he got a name change and underwent significant surgery.

    I don’t really get how a birth name can be out of character tbh. Seems like a typical name for his birthplace and time.
