The real names of the most famous actresses and singers

Demi lovato

Demetria Devonne Lovato is her birth name but she decided to make it shorter and just keep Demi and her last name.

Miley Cyrus

Its original name is Destiny Hope Cyrus, that is, something like 'Destiny Hope'. Her parents put it on because they had a kind of premonition and knew that she was destined for great achievements in her life. The change to Miley came because everyone called her 'Smiley' since she was always smiling.

Rihanna

The singer has kept her middle name as her stage name. Her name is Robyn Rihanna. And her last name is Fenty, the name she has given her makeup brand and designs for Puma.

Lady Gaga

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta chose her stage name as a tribute to Queen and her song Radio Gaga.

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson is her real name and she had to change it so they wouldn't mistake her for Kate Hudson.

Kim kardashian

Kimberly Noel Kardashian is her real name. Now she also carries her husband's West behind the Kardashian.

Jennifer Aniston

Although now her name is really Jennifer Aniston, her parents baptized her Jennifer Annasstakis, since her father was Greek.

Emma Stone

Her real name is Emily Jean Scott. She ended up being Emma Stone because there was already a celebrity, an Australian DJ and presenter named Emily Scott, and she decided to look for something that sounded phonetically similar. The truth is that everyone calls her 'Em'.

Demi moore

Demetria Gene Guynes, that's what it's really called. The Demi thing is obvious where she comes from but the Moore was her first husband's last name.

Madonna

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone has lost her other two names and her surname of Italian origin and if your first name sounds as good as hers you don't need anything else.

Susan sarandon

Susan Sarandon

The same thing happened to Susan Sarandon as to Demi Moore, she kept her first husband's last name. Her real name is Susan Abigail Tomalin.

Cher

Who needs surnames to be recognized? A diva like her certainly not. Her real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian and she is of Armenian origin.

Gigi hadid

Actually her name is Jelena Noura Hadid. The Gigi thing comes to her, as she herself has explained on occasion, because her grandmother called her mother that and then her too. As there was a Helena in her class and the teacher used to get confused, she asked her mother for her daughter's nickname and she stayed with Gigi forever.

Audrey hepburn

The mythical Audrey was actually called Edda van Heemstra Audrey Kathleen Hepburn. She decided to lose a few names along the way to launch her acting career.

Marilyn monroe

Norma Jean Baker Mortenson lost her name almost at the same time as her natural hair color. She was dyed platinum and became the mythical Marilyn because of her agent.

Nicole Kidman

It turns out that Nicole's real name isn't quite as glamorous as you'd expect from someone like her. Her parents named her Hokulani which means 'celestial star'. It is a Hawaiian name and it seems that the actress was born there before moving to Australia with her family.

Natalie Portman

Her name is Neta-Lee Hershlag. She decided to change her Hebrew name to its English version and the surname to Portman to protect her family from some of the downsides of fame.

Jane fonda

Her real name is Jane Seymour but she kept her mother's last name, Fonda, to develop her artistic career.

Olivia wilde

Her name is really Olivia Jane Cockburn but she lost her middle name and changed her last name to Wilde in homage to writer Oscar Wilde.

Julianne Moore

Her real name is Julie Anne Smith. She decided to merge her two names into one and change the family name to her father's middle name, Moore.

Pink

Her nickname has nothing to do with her real name, Alecia Beth Moore. The Pink thing comes from Tarantino's film, Reservoir Dogs, in which all the characters were named after a color and she kept Steve Buscemi's.

The fact that famous people change their real names for others that sound better is known to all but many times we are not aware of where these 'nicknames' have come from. We have put on the Sherlock Holmes hat to keep track of them and discover what our famous favorites are really called, do not fall as a Trivia question and we will run out of cheese.

Where do the stage names of the famous come from?

Emma Stone. It is one of the most curious cases. Her real name is Emily Scott but there was already a DJ and presenter with that name in Australia. After several changes she stayed with the one we know her. But according to what she has told on occasion, her family and friends call her 'Em'. We assume not to mess around.
Susan Sarandon and Demi Moore . The two actresses decided to keep the surname of their respective first husbands and although they both kept their first name, Demi shortened it because her name is actually Demetria.
Olivia Wilde. Her real name is Olivia Jane Cockburn but she decided to adopt the last name of her favorite writer, Oscar Wilde, as a tribute.
Lady Gaga. Her real name is - hold on - Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, almost nothing. So she got, or was put, the story is not clear, Lady Gaga for the famous song Radio Gaga , by Queen, which she loves.
Cher and Madonna. Few artists are left with only their name but they are worth it. Cher is actually called Cherilyn Sarkisian and Madonna is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone.
Gigi Hadid . Her real name is a bit strange, her name is Jelena Noura Hadid but her grandmother called her Gigi because she also called her mother that when she was little. And since there was another girl named Helena in her class, the teacher preferred to use her family nickname so as not to get involved.
