I actually have thought about this... my real name is Daniel Johnson, but if I had a stage name I have thought about using my middle name rather than my last... so it would be Daniel David.  |

I changed my name by deed poll several years ago (changed it back since and my real name AINT my Facebook name) to Joshua Zebedee Rivers so I'd prob have it as that. Or just Rivers

I'd just go with this. Not enough people have one word names anymore.

What would *your* stage name be, bizzo? Assuming you're interested in actually having a conversation and not just shilling your blog?
I've just run my real name through Spotlight.com and no other actor appears to be currently using it, so I wouldn't need to worry about choosing a stage name.

Bonnie La Nuit. I'll only appear in murder mysteries, whispering 'Good Night, Sweetheart' in my victims' ears as they lie dying, my maniacal cackle the last earthly sound they hear...

My family has — or had; nobody uses it these days — a family stage name, but as my only interest in theatre is on the technical side and no power on earth could persuade me to be a performer I wouldn't have any occasion to use it. It would be a bit pretentious to adopt a stage name for technical work.

For a while at school I wished I could change my surname when I got married instead of my wife but have come not to be bothered over the years but do like my College nickname Biz or my username Bizzo

I use my real name as my stage name but if I had to pick one, I went through a phase of calling myself Esmerelda when I was little? Don't know what goes with Esmerelda.

An actor told me that at drama school he was told to use his middle name and place of birth. That would make me George Hackney. Could be worse.

Mine would be Elizabeth Oxford by that method, which isn't bad. I've never thought about a stage name, as I've never contemplated going on stage (like Lina Lamont, I can't sing, I can't dance & I can't act!) but I have on occasion fatasized about what name I'd use if I could be an author (not that I can write either!) & thought that I'd go for my two middle names, Elizabeth Wyand. Given how unusual Wyand is as a surname, I'm pretty certain I wouldn't have problems with lots of other people having the same name.

It gets difficult if you use your middle name and the name of the street that you were born in.
Yours,
Terence Mushroom 🍄
