      Many famous people have changed their name because it was the same as another famous person’s name. Michael Keaton’s real name is Michael Douglas. (so he changed it to get them into SAG, & cause of any confusion)
      Katy Perry’s real name is Kate Hudson, which is the name of Goldie Hawn’s daughter who was an actress before Katy Perry was famous.
      It’s a well-known fact that David Bowie changed his name because of Davy Jones being famous on the Monkeys.

    One time, my family was flying to California, and my brother and I were like, "Is that Alice Cooper?" Then suddenly, my mom yells out, "Vinny!" Then Alice Cooper turns around and yells back,"Suzy Q, " and he runs over and gives my mom a hug. 😮 My brother and I were shocked! Apparently, they went to high school together in Arizona and were friends, and we had no idea. Wtf mom!! It's probably one of the coolest moments of my life as an 80's kid.

    I find stage name vs “real” name fascinating. Some of these folks have changed their name to the stage name; the “real” name is gone. Some mostly go by the stage name but have a different name legal name. For some, the stage name is just a label and go by the “real” name in most circumstances.
