What are the names of Kurt Cobain's parents?

Kurt Cobain’s parents were Donald Cobain and Wendy Cobain.

Cobain was born Kurt Donald Cobain on February 20, 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington. His father, Donald Leland Cobain, worked as a mechanic, while his mother, Wendy Elizabeth Fradenburg, was a waitress. The family later included Kurt’s younger sister, Kimberly.

Cobain’s parents divorced when he was young, an experience he later described as deeply upsetting. He moved between relatives and friends during parts of his adolescence, and the instability of his early home life became an important part of discussions about his personality and songwriting.

Donald and Wendy are sometimes identified by their full names, Donald Leland Cobain and Wendy Elizabeth Cobain, with Wendy’s maiden name given as Fradenburg. Those longer forms do not change the answer. The question asks for their names, and Donald and Wendy Cobain is the standard concise identification used in biographies.
