That is widely reported, but NOT true. He (and his father and grandfather) was born "Nilsson".

ROCK - Movers and Shakers say :

Nov. 1967: "Nilsson" (b.Harry Nelson, June 15, 1941, Brooklyn, New York, NY) having lived in California since childhood, is (as Harry Nelson) a computer specialist at the Security First National Bank in Van Nuys, and has been for many years (as Nilsson) a part-time songwriter (with some successful early 60s singles on Mercury and Capitol) and half of a bogus Jan And Dean, when The Monkees record his song Cuddy Toy on their Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. With interest in his material running high, RCA signs him as a singer/songwriter...
