Celebrities

List of celebrities with stage names, loosely ranked according to fame and popularity. It's tough to break into show business, but a good stage name might give you a leg up in a sea of boring Joe Smiths and Anne Taylors. This list includes famous people you didn't know were using fake stage names, including those who go by their middle names and celebrities who used variations of family names. A number of people on this list changed their names to avoid confusion with other actors. For example, the Batman you know as Michael Keaton was born Michael John Douglas - not to be confused with Michael Kirk Douglas (whose own father, Kirk Douglas, was born Issur Danielovitch). Other celebrities changed their names to protect their privacy. Natalie Hershlag was a famous child actress, but you have always known her as Natalie Portman. Some celebrities who use pseudonyms changed their names themselves just because they sounded better.This list of famous stage names includes celebrities who go by nicknames and famous people who have changed their names. It does not, however, include female celebrities who use their married surnames professionally, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/adopted-celebrities/carlybobarly?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous people who were adopted</a> by stepparents at a young age and had their names legally changed as children, or celebrities with obviously theatrical stage names, such as many wrestlers and eponymous artists. You know Adele must have a last name. You know Sting's real name is not Sting. You are pretty sure it's not just a coincidence that the Macho Man's last name was Savage.

True Stories

What's in a name? For an actor, actress, or pop star, that name is a brand, identity, and image -&nbsp;so, to answer the question,&nbsp;a lot. Perhaps that's why there are so many <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-with-stage-names/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">celebrities with stage names</a>. And the surprising stage name stories behind those famed monikers can be fascinating.

Some big time Hollywood celebrities have one tiny thing wrong with them: it's very hard to spell their names. These celebrities all have hard names to spell, either because they are much more complex than say, &quot;John Smith,&quot; or because they are a creative take on a usually easy name, like &quot;Katharine&quot; Hepburn. Tricky!The famous names on this list are ones you probably remember, because when you first heard them, you went &quot;well, what now?&quot; Do you misspell Shia LaBeouf every single time you search Google to learn about his latest antics? Yes, yes you do. It's okay, so does everyone else.From Matthew Mcconnaughheyeyghey (Matthew Mcaun? Matthew Machonahy? Matthew Mahogany? Who even knows.) to Oscar 2013 darling&nbsp;Quvenzhan&eacute; Wallis, there are some celebs with complicated names that you will just never master. It's okay, the world will keep spinning, I promise.Celebrities with complicated names are also some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Remember Monica from Friends? Of course you do, but you definitely don't remember the extra &quot;e&quot; in Courteney Cox! In any case, it's time for you to upvote the celebrity names you can never remember how to spell. Bonus: if you can think of any other famous people with confusing name spellings, then you can, and should, add them to this list for other mystified fans of big screen stars to ponder.

Many famous people have chosen to adopt a &quot;second self,&quot; or alter ego&nbsp;- like musicians who develop personas as a way to push themselves creatively or break into a new genre, or comedians who use them as a way to go unrecognized. Most celebrities have one, maybe two alter egos. One female rapper even has as many as 19.

Comedian <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sacha-baron-cohen-characters/reference" target="_blank">Sacha Baron Cohen</a> has several hilarious alter egos - including Ali G, Borat, Br&uuml;no, and Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen - who have all been featured on film and on TV. He uses his funny personas for comedic purposes, and he even appeared at the Oscars as his Aladeen alter ego. Female pop stars like Beyonc&eacute;&nbsp;and Katy Perry often performed as their alter egos, Sasha Fierce and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAtvoXNO91c" target="_blank">Kathy Beth Terry</a>, respectively. Other singers and actors who have donned alternate personalities include <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-hannah-montana-ruined-everyone-on-the-show/zack-howe" target="_blank">Miley Cyrus</a> and Jennifer Lopez.

While some may question&nbsp;the benefits of an alter ego or why a celebrity would adopt several different names, these successful stars showcase how personas can help bolster one&#39;s career. And if these celebs are <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2013/12/28/finally-free-of-sasha-fierce-beyonce-is-a-grown-woman/?utm_term=.8a6078ceaad3" target="_blank">anything like Bae</a>, they know that sometimes, all good things must end. Even pop personas. RIP Sasha Fierce.

This list of the real names of wrestlers is loosely ranked by fame and popularity. Ken Shamrock and Jeff Hardy use their given name in the ring, but most wrestlers use a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-with-stage-names/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">stage name</a>. Some wrestlers use nicknames that they have had their whole life, while others create an entirely new persona.&nbsp;Who is the most <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/sportsyeah?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous wrestler</a> who uses a stage name?

Jana Marie Duggar

TLC&#39;s 19 Kids and Counting featured the Duggar family: Jim Bob, Michelle&nbsp;and their 19 children, all of whose names began with the letter J. Here are all of the Duggar family names, ranked best to worst, and their ages. It&nbsp;includes the extended family members and new grandchildren who have joined the clan since the show premiered in 2008. Devout independent Baptists, the family lives by strong codes of modesty, devotion, side hugging, and trust in God, especially when it comes to <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/why-have-children/lauren-slocum?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">having children</a>.

Which Duggar names are your favorite? This is a list of all the Duggar kids names, including recent pics of all the family members. Picking out 19 unique J names proved to be a challenge for the ambitious couple. They started strong with Joshua James, and then had <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-boy-and-girl-twins/celebrity-lists">boy-girl&nbsp;twins</a>&nbsp;John-David and Jana Marie. Next came Jill Michelle, which was alright, sure, and then Jessa, which maybe could have been Jessica instead. Then was Jinger, which definitely should have been Ginger, and maybe this plan wasn&#39;t working. They were back on track with Joseph, though Josiah felt a bit old-timey, as did Joy-Anna,&nbsp;Jedidiah, and Jeremiah, which all sound like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-scary-weird-kids-real-stories/michaelchoi?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">creepy kids</a> who live in&nbsp;barns among rusty harvesting equipment.&nbsp;Jason, James, and Justin lucked out, and Jackson got a popular baby name. Johannah... why that H on the end? At last, a Jennifer, but then a Jordyn-Grace where a Jordan would have done, and a Josie, not a Josephine or Jocelyn or even Joseline.

The next generation of Duggars&nbsp;has not one J among them - though there are plenty or normal ones left, like Jamie, Jeremy, Jacob, Jasmine, Jared, Juliet, Julianne, Julian, Judith, Julie, or Jules. Instead, Jessa Duggar named her first son Spurgeon. Some of the other grandchildren are OK, though, including a Samuel, a Mason, and even a cute Felicity (born 2018) or Ivy (born 2019).

List of Full Names of Mononymous People, loosely ranked by fame and popularity. Several celebrities opt to use a stage name rather than their given name in public. This protects at least some of their privacy (and that of their families), and for some, hiding their surnames helps separate professional life from personal life. Some celebrities have chosen names that have additional meanings. Many famous musicians, actors, and comedians use eponymous names. Several famous rappers are known by single names that have dual meanings.Who is the most famous Eponymous person? Prince tops our list. The “Purple Rain” genius was born Prince Rogers Nelson on June 7, 1958. The word prince also refers to the son of a monarch. During the 90s, Prince changed his name to a symbol in order to protest the negative treatment that he was receiving from his record company. Throughout that time he was known as “the artist formally known as Prince.” Other eponymous people include Pink, Pitbull and Meatloaf.Many famous rappers are eponymous. Ice-T was born Tracy Marrow on February 16, 1958. Ice tea is also a popular beverage. Ice-T has kept his stage name throughout the various stages of his career. Ice-T has been starring in “Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit” since 2000. The Pharcyde rapper Fatlip was born Derrick Stewart on March 26, 1969. The word fatlip also refers to a swollen mouth or lip, typically from a blow or punch.If you were a celebrity would you use a stage name or your given name? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Nicknames can be serious business. Whether created by one&#39;s enemies or allies, nicknames often become more associated with a historical figure than their given name. &quot;Gaius&quot; was an extremely common name in Ancient Rome, but there&#39;s only been one Caligula. Similarly, England has been ruled by three Richards, the most famous of whom is remembered as the &quot;Lionheart.&quot;

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-political-nicknames/mike-rothschild" target="_blank">US Presidents have had all sorts of nicknames</a>, too, from the unflattering &quot;Tricky Dick&quot; to the superior &quot;Honest Abe.&quot; When it comes to monarchs and other rulers, a nickname often reflects how their contemporaries viewed their reign. These can be insightful, funny, and sometimes just plain embarrassing. Vote up the best nicknames of historical figures.

Alex Russo

Alexandra Margarita "Alex" Russo is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place, portrayed by Selena Gomez.

She often gets into trouble because of her constant schemes.
Alex is smart but not hardworking, much to the dismay of her older brother, Justin. Alex became a full wizard in Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie but later makes a wish through the Stone of Dreams to turn back time which, in turn, made her a student again. In the series finale when Justin wins, he reveals that Alex would have won but she helped him because he got stuck.

He demonstrates profound skill for the specialty which prompts praise from Montgomery and contributes to Karev's interest in pediatric surgery for the rest of the series.
Although Karev and Stevens had an on-off romantic history in previous seasons, it was not until the fifth season that the two formed a lasting relationship. Despite Stevens' advanced skin cancer, the two marry.
