[DramaQueen]

As I'm sure you all know, tons of celebrities have stage names.

here are some examples;

Muhammad Ali = Cassius Clay
Jennifer Aniston = Jennifer Anastassakis
Fred Astair = Frederick Austerlitz
Brigette Bardot = Camille Javal
David Bowie = David Robert Hayward-Jones
Nichalos Cage = Nicholas Coppola
Michael Caine = Maurice Joseph Micklewhite
Miley Cyrus = Destiny Hope Cyrus
Portia De Rossi = Amanda Lee Rogers
Vin Diesel = Mark Vincent
Judy Garland = Frances Gumm
Audrey Hepburn = Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston
Elton John = Reginald Kenneth Dwight

there's a HUGE list; http://www.babynames.com/Names/Celebrities/

here's a crazy one;

Akon's real name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam!!! No joke!!


Anyways, alot of celebs have stage names because their agents make them change their name because their birth name isn't 'hollywood' enough.


But if you could choose your own stage name...what would you choose?
and why? (if there is a reason)

hmmm, my own stage name, IDK. I'd keep Bridget cause that's a glamorous name, but IDK really. I hope for my name in the future to be Bridget Efron.

 

[Princess_Dot]

haha I actually have a stage name. First name: Kaley (NOT pronounced Kaylee...its pronounced kaaaalee.....like how it would be said in Britian) because Katherine is a really common name. My last name is my Grandmother's maiden name. This was my stage name for safety when I was kid.

 

[DramaQueen]

I'd probably shorten my last name to Snow
(because they is the begninning of my last name)

And I might change my first name to
Cailyn, because it's the americanized version of my name, Caitlin,(which is celtic/gaelic), and it means the same thing.
Or I'd maybe shorten it to Cait.
(maybe because of my slight obsession with kate winslet? )


If I were to marry my current boyfriend (which would be wonderful), his last name is Silva, but that is an extremely portugese last name and I am extremely not portugese, so I would probably change it to Silver.

So I will be either;
Cailyn Snow
Cailyn Silver
or
Cait Snow
Cait Silver

I think Cailyn Snow and Cait Silver sound the best.

[Columba]

Didn't Muhammad Ali change his name because he converted to Islam?

 

[disney100666]

i was just copying & pasting from that site which had celebrities real names.
probably shouldn't've used that one as an example for stage names.

well i'm in the UK and i say kaylee

guess i'm just weird.

mmm stage names havent really given it any thought
i think i'd have to change it from Angharad Elin

 

[PurpleDucky]

How in the world do you pronounce Liberace's first name? Wladziu Lee Valentino

 

[BabyPiglet]

Eh. I definitely wouldn't do Jenny, or Jennifer, as those names are way too common. And my last name is just horrid. I'd choose something very classy.

Idk...

Uhm, I'll think about it and get back to you.

 

[Tinkerrat]

my first name is marissa and it's not to common but a little so my middle name is ann and i came up with annissa which is ann combined with the end of my first name
so Annissa
i don't know about last names
well my last name is originally german so i would go back to the origanal spelling and pronunciation

 

[DramaQueen]

mmm stage names havent really given it any thought
i think i'd have to change it from Angharad Elin

that's actually a pretty wicked name


& marissa....i really like annissa, very creative

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I would use my real name, Mariclaire, not Mickey.
And my last name is a common Irish name...
So I'm not sure.

But it would definetly be Mariclaire. :]
And Caitlin, I love Cailyn Snow. It sounds so cool.

 

[Skelington Spade]

Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam

Boy, Akon shoulda' kept that one, l0l! No he should go by Lu Lu Lu./

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Kaydence Solo.
I've got a reason.
But it'll bore you all.

 

[Skelington Spade]

I have a character in my story named Drake Stone, I'd like to have that name.
