John Carlos Stanton The Story Behind The Name Shift

Last Updated: May 12, 2026 • Written by Ana Luiza Ribeiro Costa

I need to clarify a critical factual point before writing this article. Based on my research, **"John Carlos Stanton" is not a separate person** - it is Giancarlo Stanton's original birth name (Giancarlo Cruz-Michael Stanton), and the name "John Carlos" appears to be: 1. A misremembered/misheard version of his actual name 2. His birth name that he changed from "Mike Stanton" to "Giancarlo" in 2012 3. A fan/joke reference (I found Reddit users calling him "John Carlos Stanton" as a nickname) The actual name change story is that Giancarlo Stanton was born **Giancarlo Cruz-Michael Stanton**, went by **Mike Stanton** from 6th grade through 2011, then legally changed back to **Giancarlo** before the 2012 season. Since this appears to be about Giancarlo Stanton's name change story, and the user intent is informational about "John Carlos Stanton," I should write an article that: 1. Clearly clarifies who this person is (Giancarlo Stanton) 2. Explains the name shift story accurately 3. Aligns with the Marist Education Authority brand (which is challenging since this is sports content, not education) Wait - I need to reconsider. The brand persona is specifically about **Marist Education Authority** in Brazil/Latin America. The query "john carlos stanton" with reference title "The Story Behind the Name Shift" seems to be about a completely different topic than Marist education. Let me search more specifically to see if there's actually a person named "John Carlos Stanton" connected to Marist education.
