Birth name

edit

The NYT obit here says: "David Ernest White was born on Nov. 26, 1939, in Philadelphia. When he was 3 he joined his parents, Frank and Marcia Tricker, in their acrobatic touring act...". That wording could imply either that he was born with the surname Tricker and used the name White as an adult; or that "Tricker" was a stage name used by his parents; or something else. We don't know. Does anyone have an answer to this conundrum? Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
