Description

Celebrities often adopt stage names for various reasons, such as catchy appeal, family tributes, or avoiding mix-ups. Miley Cyrus, originally Destiny Hope Cyrus, added Ray to honor her grandfather. Emma Stone, born Emily Jean Stone, switched to Emma due to a name conflict. Millie Bobby Brown changed her middle name to Bobby for her dad, while Sterling K. Brown adopted his first name to honor his late father. Other stars simplified names or used nicknames, like Dylan Efron and Post Malone. These names help celebrities stand out and hide personal details.
