These Celebrities Don't Actually Use Their Real Names

Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean thought his given name wasn't cool enough for the music industry. In 2011 he revealed he went online and changed his name legally from Christopher Edwin Breaux to Frank Ocean. None of us are our names," he said. "If you don’t like your name then change your name. I’m only a few steps into the process, so I probably shouldn’t even be talking about this, but by the beginning of summer, I’ll be straight. I’ll be boarding planes as Christopher Francis Ocean."
