Addison Rae wants to ditch her second name.

The Diet Pepsi singer -- who was born Addison Rae Easterling -- is keen to be known mononymously as Addison, though she knows not all her fans will be on board with the change and she is fine with that.

Speaknig about calling her debut album Addison, she told Quenlin Blackwell on the Feeding Starving Celebrities YouTube series: "I said it in an interview, I was just like, 'Oh, I think I've grown past being called Addison Rae.'

"Then the album being named Addison kind of was a tie-in for that.

"Whoever knows me as Addison Rae and knew me as Addison Rae, will always know me as that...

"It just makes more sense. It's going back to the roots really."

But the 24-year-old social media star joked the change will make it easier to sign autographs.

She laughed: "I just am really tired of signing 'Addison Rae'. It's really long, and I would just rather sign 'Addison.'"

However, Addison admitted she hadn't initially intended to name the album after herself.

She said: "Sometimes people will do a song on the album as the title, and I kinda played with that a little bit. But when you do hear all the music straight through, there's not really a title that encompasses all of it.

"Everybody I played it to as well, they were just like 'Oh, it just sounds like you, it sounds like music you would make.' So I was like, 'So, maybe the album is just my name.'"

Addison shot to fame on TikTok but always dreamed of a successful music career, and she's previously admitted she felt "lucky" the online world gave her the chance to follow her dreams.

She told ELLE magazine: "All of that led me to where I am right now.

"What's funny to me is that people assume that these passions are new. First of all, no one ever even knew who I was before I was a freshman in college, so it's like, 'How would you even know what my interests were before?' I grew up dancing; I've always loved to sing.

"I acknowledge how lucky I am that I was on TikTok, and people cared enough to watch my videos and follow me, and therefore gave me the freedom to be able to explore my deep desires that I've always had. It's like, 'What am I going to do? Not chase my dreams because I feel like I haven't done enough school to get here? Or I haven't had enough experience?' It's like, 'No, the door opened for me, and I'm going to go through and explore it.'"
