Because his Father, Dwayne Carter, named Lil' Wayne Dwayne Carter jr. So he took Lil' from Jr. and Wayne instead of Dwayne because, in an interview he said his father wasn't there much for him and he didn't want to carry on his fathers name and be known as someone who isn't there for his children.

because his real name is Dwayne carter. take Dwayne and remove the d.

he made it Lil Wayne as he is small and he had no intrest in being involved with his dad so he took the d of Dwayne!!

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. was born on September 27, 1982. Most people know him better by the stage name Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne began calling himself by this name so he would not be confused with his father, Dwayne Michael Carter Sr.

Nooopee. acctually he changes his name to Wayne Carter instead of Dwayne because his Father's name was Dwayne and he was not in his life. His stage name is Lil Wayne but his real name is now Wayne Carter.
