Eric's real name IS Clapton, by sheer coincidence, his grandmother who raised him remarried a Mr Clapp after Mr Clapton died, but they never officially adopted him, so he kept his mothers name, she was Patricia Clapton, (hence I guess Clapton's middle name is Patrick).
He also had an Uncle Adrian Clapton, who he thought was his older brother until he found out the truth at 14.
Many sources claim he changed his name from Clapp, but its just not true!
