We all remember when Michael Jackson famously dangled his youngest child Blanket over a balcony when he was a baby. 

The now 14-yr-old Blanket was named Prince Michael Jackson II at birth but ended up being referred to as Blanket.

According to Radar Online, he ended up getting bullied a lot through school over the name Blanket, which pushed him to change it.

"Growing up, his school mates have always been slightly mean to him because of their jealousy over who he is and going by Blanket made him a much easier target for ridicule," a source told the publication.

The young man now calls himself Bigi Jackson which is of German origin and means idealistic, sensitive, and inspirational.

Bigi lives with his older brother Michael Joseph Jackson, 19, and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, 18, with their grandmother in California.
