hiya hiccup

Some of them just drop part of their names too like Demi Moore Kutcher, she dropped the Kutcher lol and Walter Bruce Willis who dropped the Walter. Do you think it's the producer's that request they drop them or the actors/actresses themselves who decide it best?

Some do drop a part of their name, others shorten or use part of their name and other choose to take on a new name.

Charlotte Bronte.


myLot reputation of 96/100. drannhh (9930)  3 years ago

Emily Bronte went by pseudonym Ellis Bell, but her sister Charlotte used the name Curren if I'm not misstaken. Good example, though.

Which is exactly what I said with a typo, I was referring to Charlotte and never mentioned Ellis or Emily. Hic take that smirk off now and put up suitably blushing smiley at once. angry

I've never understood the name change thing. Like they are ashamed of their family and put profit before pride.

I kind of understand Nicholas Cage changing his name because he wanted to make it on his own, not piggyback atop his famous family name. Speaking of Nicholas Cage, why in the world do I find him attractive?! lol


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

It might have something to do he can sell a story in his craft.
Always good value.

Sheen's do the same but carry the I think maiden name.

Once in "perfect" to the public,all will be expected into "perfect" including name in viewwink,although we all know that there's no one who is perfect

Wonderful names that must be in rhyme and read smoothly,I think so............whistle


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

Some do need to change a name as their old name is (a) to hard to remember or (b) to hard to say, or (c) to hard to spell.

HICCUP/


myLot reputation of 69/100. aprces (659)  3 years ago

In that case, they might as well take them back


myLot reputation of 69/100. aprces (659)  3 years ago

I know Nicolas CAGE want to get rid of the COPPOLA family's reputation


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

Cage stated he wanted to not use the Family name to get credit but wanted to be judged as CAGE the Actor. Not as the Son of .........

Well, I think Norma Jean Baker was pretty famous before she legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, but in 1946 she unofficially started using the famous version of her name. Since her mum was unstable and subjected her to changing homes and changing names, she used Monroe because it was her grandmother's name -- sound enough decision, but Hollywood tacked on the Marilyn to make her name more mellifluous to the ear.

Mary Martin on the other hand, used here own born name, I think, since it was already "suitable" for Hollywood. Hah!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

I don't think any Barrymoore would ever change their name.

Norma Jean, so yum for me. I love the photo shots of the 15/18 y/o Norma Jean.
Then Hollywood got her, drats.

ARNOLD GEORGE DORSEY, Born May 2/1936 (India).

I think the reason was, DORSEY had a large BAND and was a name being used.

Reason for change,

This is a very interesting topic as I don't know these famous stars had changed their names. Perhaps I have got used to their new names, so I think they sound better than the original names:)

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup
