Jessica Alba has the name “Farrah” scratched out out on her birth certificate. The star’s mother planned to call her daughter Farrah after her favorite Charlie’s Angels star, Farrah Fawcett, but Alba’s father, whose family hails from Mexico, disagreed after laying eyes on his Little Latina for the first time.

“My name was Farrah Dawn Louisa Alba… On my birth certificate, it was written out and I came out brown and my dad was like, ‘She’s not allowed to be Farrah, and so he scratched it and on my first birth certificate, it’s a scratch and then it’s Jessica Marie,” the actress explained of how she ended up with her trendy ’80s name during an appearance on TBS’ Lopez Tonight on Tuesday.

“My dad named me; he was like, ‘She looks like me. I can’t let her come out Farrah.’ “But my mom’s white and she kinda looks like Farrah Fawcett, so she thought I was gonna look exactly like her and I don’t. So, I’m marked for the rest of my life Jessica Marie, but it’s a good name.”

After Alba’s genealogy was tested after she agreed to have her DNA tested for the program, the actress discovered she is 87 percent European and 13 percent native American.
