Charli XCX fans dumbfounded after learning where Brat star's iconic stage name came from

Charli XCX, the creator behind Brat summer, has left many fans scratching their heads over the origins of her distinctive stage name. The singer-songwriter, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, soared to new heights in the music industry last year with the release of her album 'Brat', which topped charts in the UK, Ireland, and Australia, and made an impressive debut at number three on the Billboard 200.
The 32-year-old artist is known for hits like 360, 365, Speed Drive, Apple, Official, and not forgetting her earlier bangers Boom Clap, Boys, and Vroom Vroom. Despite her fame, there's still a bit of mystery among her followers about what the 'XCX' stands for – is it just a quirky addition or does it hold a deeper meaning related to her career?.
Curious minds took to Reddit to discuss, with one user straightforwardly posing the question: "What does XCX mean in her name?" Speculations flew in with one person suggesting: "Charli 10 100 10." Another added a humorous take: "xylophone, chimichanga, xylophone." Someone else thought it represented "I thought it was excess.".
Delving deeper into the significance of her moniker, another fan theorised: "I was thinking about the change from Charli XCX to Charli xcx and I have the theory that Charli is going to market herself next as just 'Charli' like other popstars are doing right now (like Jenny, Lisa, Chloe, etc). Changing the XCX to lowercase serves as a transition since we start seeing more the Charli than the xcx. thoughts? Honestly, I would find it sad to let go of the xcx, specially since I already miss hearing X X X c X on her songs.".
