    From where did Chubby Checker get his name?

    Question #114079. Asked by star_gazer. (Apr 13 10 12:20 AM)

    		Earnest Evans adopted the name after doing an impression of Fats Domino.

    During the recording session, Clark's wife asked Ernest what his name was. "Well", he replied, "my friends call me 'Chubby'". As he had just completed a Fats Domino impression, she smiled and said, "As in Checker?" That little play on words got an instant laugh and stuck, and from then on, Ernest Evans would use the name "Chubby Checker"......( taken from site )
