Isn’t that just kind of… how names are supposed to work?
That’s kind of how stage names work.
I’ve insisted people call me “esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie” for months and only like 2 people here ever did that. Breaks my heart.💔
Artists be like that. Stage names have been a thing for quite some time.
Writers use pen names too. I’m kinda confused why OP even thinks this is notable?
The fact there is a dude out there who wants to be called “Buckethead” and wears a bucket of KFC over his head but also has the sickest guitar skills ever is even weirder.
Vin Diesels real name is Mark Sinclair and weve all accepted that too. Marilyn Manson’s name is Brian Warner and Alice Cooper was born Vincent Furnier. Stage names are pretty common with performers
JK Rowling also writes as Robert Galbraith.
