What’s in a name? A lot, if you ask these musicians, each of whom ditched their birth names and adopted an alias before hitting the big time. (And for good reason, in some cases — Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta just doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily as “Lady Gaga” does it?) Check out the gallery and find out the real names behind pop star pseudonyms. You’ll never look at Robyn Fenty, Shawn Corey Carter or Elizabeth Grant the same way.
