Your favourite celebrity has a COMPLETELY different name to the one you thought

The process of becoming super-famous sounds like a long and sometimes painful one. Do you go down the plastic surgery route, like Kylie Jenner? Do you pretend to be someone else? Do you have to say goodbye to all your friends and family as you find your feet in Tinseltown?

Many celebs change their name along with their appearance, casting off the ones they were born with and finding a new moniker to help the public remember them better.

Here are a bunch of your favourite singers, actors and TV personalities with their REAL names. Which one is most surprising to you?
