Drag Name Origin
Previously known as "Sir Honey Davenport," Honey's name originated when they attended one of RuPaul's autobiography signing events and RuPaul wrote to them as, "honey." Their surname, Davenport, got put on the end when they were adopted into the Davenport family by their drag mother, "The Lady Deja Davenport."
