SHE rose to fame as Alex Nation on the 2016 season of The Bachelor in 2016, but this reality star goes by a very different name in real life.

In a video shared to her Instagram page on Thursday, Nation revealed her real name was quite the mouthful.

Joking that she didn’t know what her parents had been thinking, Nation said: “I’m Alex — but what you don’t know about me though is my name is actually Alexandra Denise Marilyn Nation McGurgan. Say that five times, fast!”

After her dad commented that he liked the name Nation responded: “Dad, it doesn’t even fit on my passport!”

Nation is believed to have recently split with her fiancee Maegan Luxa after becoming engaged last year.

Earlier this month she revealed she had been forced to return to full time work after a failed career as an Instagram influencer.

“I miss him and crave the time I had with him when I was working sporadically and doing sponsored posts for ponstan (LEL),” Nation wrote on Instagram.

“The reality is for me, sponsored Instagram posts weren’t sustainable enough and I really wanted a full time job/career.”
