The complex family history of Cher’s kids, Chaz Bono and Elijah Allman

[post_page_title]A fitting nickname[/post_page_title]

The late singer Sonny Bono, who passed away in a skiing accident in 1998, never got to see his daughter Chastity ever become Chaz. But apparently, he already had a cute nickname for her as a little girl – Fred.

A fitting nickname

Chaz told on a late night show that this nickname was born when his father once took him to a toy store. They were looking at key-chains with names on them, but as they never had ‘Chastity’, Sonny proposed Chastity should pick a name, like Fred – and it stuck for years.
