What's In A Name!

[ILUVDXL]

While doing some SBT research this morning I came a upon "Real Names Of Celebrities". I'm not going to do the entire list, but here are a few I found interesting.

Briditte Bardot = Camille Javel
Robert Blake = Michael Gubitosi
Albert Brooks = Albert Einstein
Patsy Cline = Virginia Patterson Hensley
Elvis Costello = Declan Patrick McManus
Bobby Darrin = Walden Waldo Robert Cassotto
Bo Derek = Mary Cathleen Collins
Laurebce Harvey = Laruschka Skikne
Hulk Hogan = Terry Gene Bollea
Michael Keaton = Michael Douglas
Ben Kingsley = Krishna Banji
Liberace = Wladziu Lee Valentino
Chuck Norris = Carlos Ray
Slim Pickens = Louis Lindley
Mickey Rooney = Joe Yule, Jr.
Robert Taylor = Spangler Arlington Brugh

Did you know any of these?

Why do they change their names so drastically? If I ever got famous, I think I'd keep my given name.

Thanks for the little vacation for my brain, I am in over my head this morning.
