Miley Cyrus 2p626w

Tom Cruise 1z356s
Cruise is a pretty smooth-sounding last name, but royal.
Reese Witherspoon 4f4l30
This Reese Witherspoon?
Winona Ryder 63102d
Actress steal. Speaking of which...
Ashton Kutcher 3o6o17
The womanizing hottie from Ashton a nice name? It's original, and has a nice ring to it.
Demi Moore 6y164s
Ashton Kutcher's leading lady, Greek mythology.
Musicians 6f2k10
Lady Gaga 4o4t5s
Lady G's music is definitely the hottest on the charts right now, but how much of that has to do with her creative stage name, which is definitely a lot more “in your face” than the name her mom gave her at birth: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.
50 Cent 3l6vh
He’s a rapper whose real name seems kinda tame (and has nothing to do with all the money he talks about in his lyrics). No wonder 50 Cent changed his name from Curtis Jackson.
Cher 381v6a
We’re thinking that maybe Cher chopped her real name - Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPiere - to match some of the teeny-tiny outfits she wears on stage (or the plastic surgery she’s received over the years).
Eminem bw3c
Here’s another rapper whose given name just doesn’t seem “bad” enough to go with his lyrics. Eminem's birth name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III.
Alicia Keys 2m3p2h
Keys is a musical last name, but this piano-playin' songstress was born Alicia Augello Cook, which isn't nearly as elegant as the name Alicia Keys.
Busta Rhymes f5t21
This fly rapper wasn't actually busting rhymes when he was born. Busta Rhymes' birth name is Trevor Tahiem Smith.
Bruno Mars 651836
The "That's What I Like" singer was nicknamed Bruno for the cutest reason: because he was a chubby baby. Bruno's birth name is Peter Gene Hernandez.
Rihanna 94d3n
Real name: Robyn Rihanna Fenty. She still goes by Robyn with friends and family. "When I hear 'Robyn,' I pay attention," she told Rolling Stone.
Athletes d2u17
