Kevin Jonas reminds people what his real first name is in TikTok video

"My first name's not Kevin," the Jonas Brothers musician wrote in a TikTok video.

Kevin Jonas is surprising some folks on the internet by sharing that his real first name is actually Paul.

“My first name’s not Kevin,” the Jonas Brothers guitarist, 37, wrote across a May 19 video as he participated in a TikTok challenge to come up with a phrase set to the beat of Chris Brown and Usher's 2014 single, "New Flame."

"Should I change my handle to PaulJonas?" Jonas, whose full name is Paul Kevin Jonas Jr., captioned the clip.

While some TikTok users were shocked by Jonas’ personal anecdote, longtime Jonas Brothers fans responded with the online equivalent of a bored sigh.

“Old news. Read it in an unofficial Jonas Brothers biography I got in Walmart in 2008. Next,” wrote one.

“I know, baby. I was doodling Mrs. Paul Kevin Jonas in my notebooks back in 2007,” joked another.

The official Jonas Brothers TikTok account also reacted to Jonas' video, writing, “Breaking news.”

Jonas will perform live with his Jonas Brothers bandmates, siblings Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas, at Rockefeller Plaza as part of the Citi Concert Series on TODAY on Aug. 8.

It's a show his older daughter, Alena, may want to catch.

The "Sucker" musician told People in March that Alena, 11, has been making the most of her connections by hitting him up for prime Jonas Brothers concert tickets.

“She’s like, ‘Dad, can I get my own box (to) invite my friends to the show on the 10th?’ I was like, ‘I’ll see what I can do for you, babe,'" he shared.

“So yeah, we’re at that point," he added. "But it’s exciting. I love it.”

The dad of two, who shares Alena and a younger daughter, Valentina, 8, with wife Danielle Jonas, went on to say his daughter's admiration meant everything to him.

“I’m proud to be their dad, No. 1, but the fact that they’re proud of me and us, it’s great," he said.
