Stage name

A stage name, or a screen name, is a pseudonym used by performers and entertainers (such as actors, comedians, musicians, clowns, and professional wrestlers.
Performers take stage names for many reasons, often because their real name is considered unattractive, dull, unintentionally amusing, or difficult to pronounce or spell, or because it has either been used by another notable individual or projects the wrong image. Sometimes a performer wishes to adopt a name that is unusual (sometimes even outlandish), memorable or that complements his/her performing persona, or because he/she wishes to remain anonymous in relation to another sphere of work.
