Her birth name is Paige Michelle Sletten. Per VanZant, she was bullied in her school for her last name who trolled her by calling her “Slutton” by twisting her last name. Due to the constant bullying, she legally changed her surname to VanZant. She chose this name because she liked the way it sounded.
