[post_page_title]Bruno Mars – Peter Gene Beyot Hernandez[/post_page_title]
You really have to wonder how many musicians made the decision to change their names themselves, and who had to cave due to pressures from their agent or a record label. There’s no telling which was the case for Bruno Mars, but we have to assume he’s had a long time to think about the issue. Bruno Mars is just so much cooler than Peter Hernandez, though.
[post_page_title]Iggy Azalea – Amethyst Amelia Kelly[/post_page_title]
The pop singer must have been a big fan of flowers and Iggy Pop to come up with that stage name. Okay, so that probably wasn’t the case. You have to wonder why exactly she changed her name, though. Amethyst Kelly sounds as much of a pop star name as Iggy Azalea. It could have been a privacy concern to help her family avoid being spied on by tabloid “journalists.”
