30 celebrities who don’t go by their real first names, and why – Insider

Emma Stone had to change first names because her real one was already taken in the SAG.

Emma Stone’s first name is actually Emily. But when she became an actress, there was already an Emily Stone in the SAG, so she had to pick a different one.

She told W magazine in 2017 that she had the option to use Emily J. Stone, but she didn’t think she could pull off the J. Instead, she opted for something different.

“So to ask a 16-year-old to pick a new name is really an interesting process, because I was like, ‘I’m going to be Riley’…  And so my name was Riley Stone for about six months,” she said.

But after doing a guest role on “Malcolm in the Middle,” she never knew who people were talking to when they called out Riley on set.

“So then I changed it to Emma because you know it’s closer to Emily, but most people call me ‘M,’ that know me well,” she added.
