One
might
wonder
what
are
the
reasons
behind
one's
changing
their
real
name
to
something
so
unusual.
In
fact,
there
are
several
reasons.
One
of
it
being
the
showbiz
world.
To
be
recognized
within
the
industry,
it
is
very
important
for
an
artist
to
have
a
very
unique
and
compatible
name.
Most
of
the
artists
are
always
referred
to
using
their
stage
name.
For
instance,
majority
of
had
assumed
Lorde's
actual
name
is
only
Ella.
Today
we
told
you
what
her
real
name
expands
to.
Her
actual
moniker
wouldn't
easily
roll
off
your
tongue
the
way
Lorde
does.
And,
Bruno
Mars'
real
name
Peter
Gene
Hernandez
reflects
his
ethnicity,
which
includes,
Filipino,
Spanish,
Hungarian
and
Ukranian.
For
some
stars
who
believe
in
a
certain
super
natural
things,
feel
that
change
of
name
actually
bring
good
luck
to
them
and
helps
them
rise
to
fame.
Sometimes,
a
few
celebrities
prefer
shorter
names.
They
feel
it
would
easier
to
connect
with
fans
through
a
name
that's
mouthful
than
too
complicated.
