You want to go by Jim, Jimmy, Jamie or James? A stage name is when someone chooses a public name that is technically not their legal or original name. The reasons vary, but the common examples are:

Stage Names / int_116de4aa	comment	When Jason Geiger came to a talent agency in California, they thought his name wasn't strong enough for an actor and created with him another inspired by Steve Austin: Austin St. John. And the rationale became Hilarious in Hindsight given the breakout role St. John got was Red Ranger Jason Lee Scott. Especially since the character was originally named Victor and changed to Jason inspired by him. The stage name also helped avoid confusion with Jason David Frank, who played Tommy the Green Ranger.

She adopted the "Cass" in high school, apparently, after actress Peggy Cass, and the "Elliot" came some time later, after a friend who had died. The "Mama" part, however, is a straight example â€” she picked it while the newly-formed band were trying to find a suitable name, and ended up naming the band.

On the indies, she went by Britani Knight, which her mother also picked, as Britani was an anagram of Britain. She herself hated it though, and was happy to change it to Paige in WWE, naming herself after Rose McGowan's character in Charmed. Notably the film Fighting with My Family never mentions her Britani Knight indies name.

Stage Names / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Several fighters have used stage names or aliases for themselves: Mister Satan is a name he has earned after becoming world champion, now being named after his dojo Satan Castle. His real name is Mark, which is a pun of "akuma" ("devil"). Piccolo uses the alias Ma Junior whenever he enters the Tenkaichi Budokai to hide his true identity as the reincarnation of the Great Demon King Piccolo. The "Ma" (ãƒž) in "Ma Junior" is a pun of "Ma" (é”) which means "demon", making it sound like "Demon Junior". While it is unknown whether the name of human God possessed to enter the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai is actually named Shen or not, the name does serve as an alias for God. "Shen" (ã‚·ã‚§ãƒ³) is a pun of "Shen" (ç¥ž) from Shenlong, which uses the same kanji for "god". That alias serves as a hint for Son Goku to figure out who Shen really is. Subverted with Shin. When he enters the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, he uses the name Shin (ã‚·ãƒ³). Like in the case of Shen, it's a pun on "Shin" (ç¥ž), which is part of the title called "Kaioshin". However, it is revealed much later during the run Super (over 20 years after his debut) that "Shin" (ã‚·ãƒ³) is in fact his real name.

Constance Montgomery, aka "Clash", is The Misfits' resident groupie who wishes she could join the band (despite having no musical abilities and being Hollywood Tone-Deaf). The comic reboot introduces Clash's best friend Leah Dwyer, aka "Blaze", who like Clash uses a nickname despite not needing to. She's a Misfits fangirl who ends up joining the band. The Stingers consists of: Rory Llewelyn as "Riot", Phoebe Ashe as "Rapture", and Ingrid Kruger as "Minx". Unlike The Misfits, they don't complain about their names, but then again Riot is the only name mentioned in the actual cartoon (and only his parents call him that). Several non-musicians have stage names too. Vivien Montgomery, an up-and-coming director, goes by "Video". The ballerina Danse's real name is "Giselle Dvorak". Musical journalist Lindsey Pierce goes by "Lin-Z". The magician Maeve Eldritch goes by "Astral".

Some of the students have their doubts about this given her nature as a skilled liar due to her title as the Ultimate Gambler, and that she absolutely hates being questioned about whether or not that is actually her true name. It is later revealed that her real name is Taeko Yasuhiro. Two Danganronpa fanfics actually see "Celeste" resume being Taeko: The Ultimate Hope sees her do so willingly vis having learned to be herself so her and Hifumi's daughter could become the new Celestia while Never Say Never forces her to do so as punishment for what she did during the events of Act 3 (everything that made her Celestia is destroyed before her eyes, particularly by a vengeful Aoi Asahina following Taeko's betrayal).

The surname came from a friend and comrade in the RAF during his national service. Brian Jones billed himself as "Elmo Lewis" prior to forming the band. For several years Keith Richards dropped the "s" from his name and billed himself as "Keith Richard" at the suggestion of band manager Andrew Loog Oldham (who felt the shortened surname looked and sounded more appropriate for a pop star... perhaps by analogy with Cliff Richard?). Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have produced all their albums since the mid-'70s using the name "The Glimmer Twins". The band also credit the stage name Nanker Phelge for songs they've written collectively.

This began around the same time he co-wrote several songs with Paul McCartney, and he's said that part of the reason for the change back was just because he thought "McCartney / MacManus" would look cool.

Kuu Hiizuri apparently takes this very seriously, a trait Ren probably inherited from him, going so far as to have had an elaborate funeral for his stage name after he went back to using his real one. To a lesser extent, Kyoko goes the Only One Name route with her stage name, not wanting to let Sho know who she was right off the bat.

He started out wrestling as Terry Boulder, then added "Hulk" as a nickname to that, before dropping the first name and changing the last name to Hogan. The name "Hulk Hogan" was suggested by Vince McMahon Sr., and Hogan went along, despite feeling that the idea of an orange-skinned blonde-haired Irishman was kind of silly (Vince Sr. wanted him to dye his hair red, but Hogan was already going bald and felt the dye would make his hair fall out even faster). He got way more over under the new name than anybody expected, but there was a slight hitch — Vince's penchant for billing him as "The Incredible" Hulk Hogan caught the attention of Marvel Comics, and they sued and won, taking the trademark for the name until Hogan bought it back more than two decades later. He started out under a mask as Super Destroyer. Also went by Sterling Golden before Hulk.

However, this was for more traditional reasons: she got married to a man named Dennis Benatar, but they divorced before her music career started. She had already established herself by the time she married her guitarist/manager Neil Giraldo, so no professional name change there.

Stage Names / int_c43df4d8	comment	Considering that Doctor Who has been on for over 50 years, many of the cast members have chosen stage names for a variety of reasons. David Tennant is actually David MacDonald, but Equity already had someone with that name, so he named himself after Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. Peter Davison is actually Peter Moffett, this name change being to avoid confusion with director Peter Moffat (who worked with him on Doctor Who). This doesn't extend to the rest of his family, as his daughter Georgia Moffett used her birth name up until marrying David Tennant. Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith took the stage name "Sylveste McCoy" while touring with Ken Campbell, and later added an R to the first name. According to one account, it was originally a joke about stage names — "Sylveste McCoy is only my stage name, of course, my real name is... Sylvester McCoy" — that he decided to run with after a theatre critic failed to get it and thought Sylvester McCoy actually was his real name. Jon Pertwee's real name was Jean Roland Devon de Perthuis (he was of French and Austrian descent). People in his family use Pertwee as a phonetic spelling. He also went by the anglicised John, before a playbill misspelt his name. It extends to companions too. Lalla Ward's real first name is Sarah, Lalla being a childhood nickname. Billie Piper's real name is Leian Piper, but chose the stage name "Billie" for her music career. When she switched to acting she then changed it again to Billie Piper. The original Master, Roger Delgado, was born Roger Caesar Marius Bernard de Delgado Torres Castillo Roberto. He just used the "Delgado" for his acting work.

He's long since given up his most-obvious vocal resemblances to Bowie (and Bryan Ferry, which could be regarded as indirectly ripping off Bowie, anyway). But David Sylvian continues to record and perform with the name most recognizable to his audience, however increasingly alienated—or unable to recognize what he's doing—they might have become: particularly from the release of Blemish onward.

Stage Names / int_ce50887e	comment	Spanish-speaking voice actors have an interesting twist on this: Unless stated otherwise, most of them use their second first name and their first (maternal) or second (paternal) name of their last name. As an example, Mexican voice actor Luis Eduardo Garza Escudero (Krillin and Ichigo) goes credited as only Eduardo Garza. Unlike Japanese and American voice actors, they rarely use stage names for hiding their identities in non-union or risky works (as it's considered a rather stupid thing there, since everyone will end up recognizing your voice anyways)note Just to get an idea how much this trope doesn't always apply when dubbing erotic or outright porn stuff, Mexican and many Latin American voice actors had no problem on dubbing stuff on their real names, or stage ones when applicable, that would put an American or Japanese voice actor into serious problems with either their fans, their agencies or their own unions, like The Qwaser of Stigmata, Bible Black and Eternity: Shin'ya no Nure Koi-chan Neru, the latter two are both outright Hentai, and by first one is a TV series which no voice acting studio in either the States or any western country wants to touch. and and when they do, it's mostly because they like to use that name for other reasons unrelated with their work or maybe because their fans and friends prefer to call them by those names instead: Gabriela Schietter CastaÃ±on goes credited as Gaby Willer or Gabriela Willert (Li Meiling and Motoko Kusanagi). Her mother, Liza Willert, was born as Elizabeth Margot Schreiter CastaÃ±Ã³n. Alfredo Gabriel Basurto (Sesshoumaru) is either credited under his first name, or under his middle name. This caused many fans to think both names referred to two unrelated voice actors with the same last name. The late Maria Hiromi Hayakawa Salas (Draculaura) went only as Hiromi Hayakawa, causing many fans to think she is a native Japanese voice actress (She was Japanese-Mexican born in Japan, but raised in Mexico). Later she went with the name of Hiromi exclusively, especially when working outside of the voice acting industry. Another Japanese-Mexican voice actress, whose real name is Noriko Takaya Satori, goes with the more simpler name of Noriko as her stage name. The late Guillermo Romano's (who voiced Batman, Inspector Gadget, Rayearth, among others) real name was Carlos Stevenson, who also used that name in few other works, causing some confusion at first among his fans when trying to identify his previous early roles. Azul Valadez (Tatsumaki and Sabrina Spellman): Her real name is Azucena Valadez. She goes with that name because "Azul" (blue) is her favorite color.

Stage Names / int_d2b60e7a	comment	Before adopting the name of Lexis King in WWE NXT, Brian Pillman Jr. wasn't a 100% aversion. While he used his real name, the "Jr." part is kayfabedâ€”his late father was Brian William, while he's Brian Zachary. Wrestlers who were stars in other sports often use their real names in pro wrestling, such as MMA fighters Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn and Ronda Rousey, Olympic powerlifter Mark Henry, and Olympic wrestler Kurt Angle. Because WWE regularly trademarks its performers' ring names, it's not unheard of for former WWE performers to use their real names in other promotions. For example, Edge uses his real name of Adam Copeland in AEW. Even the co-Trope Namer for Do Not Call Me "Paul", Big Show, goes by his real name of Paul Wight as an AEW commentator and occasional wrestler. (The other co-Trope Namer has mostly been going by Paul "Triple H" Levesque since taking over WWE's creative in 2022.) WWE did a rather fun storyline on this, with Tough Enough season 3 winner John Hennigan being completely unable to decide on a stage name, and thus changing his name each and every week. He went through Johnny Blaze, Johnny Spade, Johnny Onyx, and Johnny Superstar before finally settling on Johnny Nitro — which was intended to be a kiss-ass maneuver towards Eric Bischoff, the former architect of WCW Monday Nitro and then-current general manager of the Raw brand. Now, in his new gimmick as the second coming of Jim Morrison (lead singer of The Doors, whom Hennigan looks remarkably like), he's taken the name John Morrison. Hulk Hogan was born Terrence Eugene Bollea. (What, not intimidating enough...?) He started out wrestling as Terry Boulder, then added "Hulk" as a nickname to that, before dropping the first name and changing the last name to Hogan. The name "Hulk Hogan" was suggested by Vince McMahon Sr., and Hogan went along, despite feeling that the idea of an orange-skinned blonde-haired Irishman was kind of silly (Vince Sr. wanted him to dye his hair red, but Hogan was already going bald and felt the dye would make his hair fall out even faster). He got way more over under the new name than anybody expected, but there was a slight hitch — Vince's penchant for billing him as "The Incredible" Hulk Hogan caught the attention of Marvel Comics, and they sued and won, taking the trademark for the name until Hogan bought it back more than two decades later. He started out under a mask as Super Destroyer. Also went by Sterling Golden before Hulk. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was born Steve Anderson and later known as Steve Williams, but changed it to differentiate himself from already-established wrestler "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. He would later legally adopt Steve Austin (without the "Stone Cold" part). Shawn Michaels was born Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, a name which just doesn't fit a man who was billed as the "Sexiest Man Alive". Referenced on a 2009 Raw, when Michaels worked as a chef and tried to avoid recognition by using the "fake name" Hickenbottom. As he transitioned the wrestling world to Hollywood, The Rock gradually dropped his stage name, going from "The Rock" to "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson", and is now making films under his given name, Dwayne Johnson. "The Rock" is trademarked by the WWE, so he had to stop using it when he stopped wrestling. Or when they felt like saying "no". Of course, Johnson's original ring name, "Rocky Maivia", was taken from his father Rocky Johnson and his maternal grandfather Peter Maivia. Rocky Johnson was born Wayde Douglas Bowles but legally changed his name to his ring moniker in 1964. Legendary nutcase The Ultimate Warrior legally changed his name to "Warrior" ("Ultimate Warrior" is trademarked by the WWE). His birth name? Jim Hellwig. Ditto for another wrestler who famously spiraled out of control, Chyna (born Joanie Marie Laurer). Until WWE's trademark on the name expired she got around it by being billed as 'Chynna Doll'. Ask a non-smark if they've ever heard of James Janos. More likely than not you'll get a "huh?" or somesuch in reply. Until you mention that he's more famous as Jesse Ventura, a name he adopted to shield his family from nutcase fans. Brian Lawler went by Brian Christopher when he entered wrestling, to distance himself from his famous father, Memphis wrestling legend and longtime WWE commentator Jerry "The King" Lawler. It didn't work very well for a number of reasons (not the least of which is an extremely strong family resemblance), and Brian Christopher's lineage soon became the single worst-kept secret in wrestling history (and keep in mind, this is the "sport" that spent the better part of a century badly hiding the fact that it was all a show). Virgil Riley Runnels? Not a wrestling name. Dusty Rhodes? Better. His sons have continued the tradition. Dustin Runnels, better known as "Goldust", wrestled as "Dustin Rhodes" in the early part of his career, and Cody Runnels also uses the "Rhodes" surname. In fact, Cody hasn't legally been "Cody Runnels" since his late teensâ€”he's Cody Runnels Rhodes. It's actually quite common for second-generation wrestlers to use their fathers' kayfabe surname, such as the Von Erich Family, whose real last name was and is Adkisson. The three third-generation Adkissons who went into the business (Kerry's daughter Lacey, now retired, and Kevin's sons Marshall and Ross) also use the Von Erich name.

Stage Names / int_e2716b52	comment	Several of the seventeen main cast members of A Chorus Line have changed their names for professional reasons, while others either claim to have stage names as a joke or acknowledge that they may need to adopt them (which contrasts with Diana Morales saying she kept her real name because "I figured ethnic was 'in'"): Mike Costafalone has trimmed his name down to the more manageable Mike Costa. Sidney Kenneth Beckenstein, or, to use his Hebrew name, Rochmel Lev ben Yokov Meyer Beckenstein, goes by the more marquee-friendly Gregory Gardner. Judy Turner jokes that she changed her name from Lana Turner, but then admits that her name has always been Judy Turner. Sara Rosemary Bryant hates her given name, so she goes by Sheila Bryant instead. Bebe Benzenheimer says she knows she'll need to change her name to something shorter if her career gets going. Margaret Mary Houlihan may have been so named by her mother, but she loathes the name and instead goes by Valerie Clark. The newly-married Kristine DeLuca still goes by her maiden name of Kristine Urich professionally. Mark Philip Lawrence Tabori goes by the more attention-grabbing Mark Anthony. Ephrain Ramirez, after a lifetime of being told he didn't look Puerto Rican, has chosen the Italian-flavoured stage name Paul San Marco.

Stage Names / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Justice For All gives us Maximillian Galactica, magician extraordinaire!... whose real name is Billy Bob Johns. He even has the accent to go with it when he gets nervous. (In Japanese, his real name is Kohei Yamada; in both cases, the name intentionally screams "country boy".) Also in the Berry Big Circus are the clown Lawrence Curls, who goes by Moe (Matsu Tomida, alias Tommy, in Japan - Tommy and Matsu were a famous Japanese comedy duo, so it's a similar implication), and the acrobat brothers Ken and Sean Dingling, who go by Acro and Bat. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney introduces the magicians Trope Gramarye. While their founder Magnifi Gramarye and his daughter Thalassa presumably go by their real names, the rest use stage names: Zak Gramarye is actually named Shadi Enigmar, and Valant Gramarye's real name is unknown. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Spirit of Justice reveals there was once a fifth Gramarye member called the Great Mr. Reus, whose real name is Manov Mistree. He's the second person to play the role; the original Reus's real name was Roger Retinz, and Mistree was a fan who took on the stage name after being trained by the first Mr. Reus. Later on, it is revealed that Apollo's biological father had the stage name of "Jangly Justice". This caused problems in the investigation of his death, as the locals of Khura'in only knew him by his stage name, and their spirit mediums need the victim's true name in order to call his spirit.

Stage Names / int_ec47c70e	comment	Anime example: The original North American dubs of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki were all done outside union agreements, every cast member uses an assumed name aside from Jay Hopper, who used his real name for playing Katsuhito and Nobuyuki Masaki. These are very specific to the show and sometimes in-jokes as well, such as Debi Derryberry's use of "Marie Cabbit" for her work voicing the hybrid cat-rabbit critter Ryo-Ohki. This is a fairly common practice in voiceover acting. The cast of Metal Gear Solid all appeared under their standard pseudonyms because of uncertainty over the union situation. Of the main cast, only Doug Stone and (production staff member) Scott Dolph used their real names from the outset, while David Hayter was able to get the all-clear from the union between the printing of the game's manual and production of the disks. Later games ditched the pseudonyms completely. Stage name adopted by David Hayter for the Metal Gear Solid dub, "Sean Barker", comes from the character he played in the live-action Guyver movie. Cam Clarke's alias, "Jimmy Flinders", was taken from the name of a character he played in the '70s Mormon musical "Saturday's Warrior". He had also used the name for his work in Robotech, as well as other '80s dubs of anime.
