Nikita Dragun’s real name is Nikita Nguyen. In a YouTube video titled ‘TRANSGENDER Q&A (Surgery, Dating, & More)’, she said: “I didn’t want a basic name. I could have chosen a name very similar to my ‘boy name’ and I just didn’t want that. Nikita just represents everything that I stand for. As well, there was a show called Nikita and it was with an Asian assassin girl – it just, like, represents everything I aspire to be, basically.” [@nikita_dragun via Instagram]Nikita Dragun is transgender.
