About this article:
Today I came across this post on a blog and I thought it's useful to know about their real names, as they sometimes use them in Trivia questions.
Do you go by your birth name? Or, like celebrities, have you changed it to something else? Here’s a whole list of name of celebs that don't use their real name, if you saw their names in print, you probably wouldn’t know who they are:
US Weekly has reported that teen queen Miley Cyrus legally changed her name to, well, Miley Ray Cyrus. The Hannah Montana star was born Destiny Hope Cyrus, but says she’s been called Miley since she was a little girl, so why not?
