Bruno Mars, Rihanna, John Legend \u2013 These names make them feel like they will succeed in their life when their parents decide to sign a birth certificate.

Natalie Portman<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Shun Li Huslag<\/p>\n

Natalie Portman was born in Israel and, as a result, was given a Hebrew name according to tradition. However, when immigrating to the United States in 1984, the family decided to change the surname to Portman before Hershlag.

Birth Name:<\/em> Christopher Catsby Harrington<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Erica Avi Wright<\/p>\n

Halsey<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Ashley Frange Payne<\/p>\n

Most fans believe that Hasley invented the stage name using his name as an anagram. But Ashley was inspired and moved on the quiet streets of Brooklyn, where one of her friends lives.

Birth name:<\/em> Amanda Ray Moore<\/p>\n

We love her song and acting. But do you know that his birth name is not actually Mandy? In fact, Amanda was nominated by her parents.

Courtney Love<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Courtney Michelle Harrison<\/p>\n

If you believed that this rock star's last name was actually "love," you're definitely wrong. Courtney decided to return to her original surname in 2010 with one of the most amazing artistic names.<\/p>\n

She said that she likes that name when performing on stage, but she does not like it in her life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Whoopi Goldberg<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Karin Johnson<\/p>\n

We all wonder what the real name of Whoopi Goldberg is and did not disappoint fans at the Graham Norton Show. She named it because she always played the role of "hoop cushion" when she began her career. Besides, she always joked that she had to get out of the stage fart, and people would call her a hoop cushion! It's a very interesting story about choosing a stage name!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Joaquin Phoenix<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Joaquin Raphael Bottom<\/p>\n

If you thought Joaquin Phoenix was the birth name of this great actor, you are wrong. He was named Joaquin Rafael Bottom at birth and spent his first year in life as part of the bottom family. But his parents decided to leave a religious group and use Phoenix as his surname.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Calvin Harris<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Adam Richard Wilds<\/p>\n

There is a reason why everyone should choose a specific stage name, but Calvin Harris has a very interesting name.

In fact, no one knew this until his ex girlfriend Taylor Swift called him Adam to greet one of the main music awards.
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Frank Ocean<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Christopher Edwin Breus<\/p>\n

The famous musician Frank Ocean received the birth name of Edwin Breaux. But he felt that the name was not suitable for the musician and was enough. And he decided to change his name for a year on his birthday. He went straight to LegalZoom in an interview in 2011, stated that he made the change immediately, and then admitted that he felt good after that.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Helen Mirren<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Iliena Lydia Mironov<\/p>\n

Helen Mirren is probably one of the best actresses seen in this world. But what most people do not know about her is that her birth name is Ilyena Lydia Mironoff. His father changed Mironoff's surname to Mirren, and Ilyena chose the name Helen when he decided to become an actress.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Jamie Foxx<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Eric Malone Bishop<\/p>\n

Jamie Foxx shared a very interesting reason to choose this special stage name. When he started out as a comedian, he realized that most people are male and women rarely appear, so they can easily settle down. So to find a relatively comfortable place, he decided to go by the names of men and women, and the rest is history!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Julianne Moore<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> Julie Ann Smith<\/p>\n

Just as Emma Watson changed Emily's name, Julie Anne Smith learned that Julie Anne Smith was already in Screen Actors Guild (SAG). She was even more surprised that she also had Julie Smith, so she had no choice but to change her name.<\/p>\n

She decided to use both names to make both happy because her father's name is Peter Moore Smith and her mother Anne Smith!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

John's Legend<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth name:<\/em> John Roger Stevens<\/p>\n

John Legend told an interview in 2008 that he was not called John Legend when he was born. In fact, his friends started calling him and decided to use it as his stage name. He keeps saying that the time has come when he is known by his nickname more than his real name. Finally he decided to decide on the stage name and we must agree.
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Weekend<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Abel Mak Konente Te Spa Yes<\/p>\n

It is clear that one simply does not have the "The" first name and the "Weeknd" last name! The real name of the singer is actually Abel Makkonen Tesfaye.<\/p>\n

In a recent Reddit Ask Me Anything session, the singer asked why he should choose this particular name. When he was seventeen years old, he dropped out of high school and talked about how to persuade one of his friends (currently a member of the band) to do the same. He carries the mattress, leaves the house for the weekend, and continues to share how he will never come back. Finally he wanted a stage name but couldn't. Since there was already a Canadian band named Weekend, we decided to remove the \u201ce\u201d. And as they say, the rest is history!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Irina Sheikh<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Irina Shay Klisla Mova<\/p>\n

Irina Sheikh actually has a castle (Shaykhlislamova), which was revealed when a man glanced at the legal documents he carries for his apartment in Manhattan. We don't know the story of his name change, but perhaps because it's so long that people can mispronounce his name.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Ella Maria Lani Jelrich O'Connor<\/p>\n

This New Zealand-born singer uses the stage name Lorde only during her performances on stage, and she said in a recent interview. She said that friends and family prefer to be called Ella instead of Lorde instead. Why choose this name? She chose Lorde as the stage name because she needed a name with greater dignity and power, not her birth name.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Mindy Carling<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Vera Mindy second Carling Arm<\/p>\n

Mindy Kaling was not given Mindy's birth name. Indeed, the actress is rooted in India, and parents wanted a Hindu name, but always wanted a middle name. Jokingly added that Vera was not the name of an 80-year-old Russian woman, but the name of the Hindu goddess. Then this actress decided to choose the middle name as her name. To shorten his last name, he changed his name to Kaling and has kept it ever since.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Elizabeth Star Martina Fay<\/p>\n

According to one important newspaper, the actress decided to take apart the name of the first husband. Studio executives said that people would pronounce everything wrong and make different interpretations. To overcome this problem, the surname "Monroe" was proposed and is actually the mother side name of the family. But the studio name reminded me of the famous Broadway star Marilyn Miller of the 1920s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birth Name:<\/em> Rachel Megan Markle<\/p>\n
