It's amazing how many famous people change their names, and we don't even know them by their real names. One of the most famous examples of this is Norma Jean Baker, who we all know as Marilyn Monroe. There are dozens though. Some are funny, some are shameful. Since I'm never above a good laugh at someone Else's expense, have at it.
Randy Travis - Randy Traewick, then changed to Randy Ray in the 80's.
I'll leave the good ones for everyone else.
Archibald Leach changed his name to Cary Grant
Born Marion Robert Morrison.
Changed to Marion Mitchell Morrison by his parents soon after his birth.
Stage name - John Wayne.
funny, I wonder why they changed their names? ,,,,wouldn't they still have gone on to become the stars they did with their old names? .....or did my name theory that so many laughed at, possibly hold some water after all.... :whistling:
Gene Simmons - Chaim Witz
Rock Hudson- Roy Hudson Scherer
LL Cool J - Jimmy Smith (James Todd Smith to be exact, but a Jags connection nonetheless)
Let's stick to people whose names you don't know were changed...I don't think anyone thinks Slash was born as a Slash... :whistling:
