Here are some of the dumbest stage names - or as the French say, noms d'etage - ever:

Cedric the Entertainer - You wouldn't think he is if you saw any of his movies.

Queen Latifah - She's a queen like Laura Schlessinger is a doctor. ""Ladies First" - if she's a lady, I'm a vermicious kanid! :p

Sting - His music was never really that biting.

Cantinflas - It was Spanish for "wordy fool," appropriate for a fellow who may have set Mexican-Americans back a hundred years.

Axl Rose - Anyone notice the naughty anagram in there?

Napoleon XIV - I'm glad they came to take him away, ha ha!

The Edge - Naming yourself after an untangible noun? What was wrong with "The Wind?"

Meat Loaf - "Let me introduce you to my daughter, Halfa!" :lol:

all other rap names, especially KRS-One, which sounds like a sports car!

ODB - Ol Dirty Bastard (a.k.a. Baby Jesus) Need I say more.

Englebert Humperdink-who thought that one up?

I still like Joey on Friends considering using "Joseph Stalin". :lol:

And let's not forget P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy Daddy, Puffy Diddy Daddy, or whatever his latest one is.

Or Prince - then a symbol - then back to Prince again. God people - whatever happened to "John Smith"?!

Englebert Humperdinck-who thought that one up?

That was the real name of a German classical composer that British ballad crooner Arnold Dorsey adopted as his own! Don't ask me why.

Er, Prince is his real name. His full name is Prince Rogers Nelson.

His father John Nelson, also musician, performed under the stage name Prince Rogers. So that name is Prince's father's fault! Which means I should start a thread on dumb names peopel give their kids! :lol:

Yeah - maybe you should - that could go on forever - like Michael Jackson's Prince, a.k.a. Blanket, etc.!!

For Prince (the singer) though, it was more him going to a stupid symbol than the name Prince! I mean - what the hell do you call somebody when they go by " &" or whatever!! - "Hey YOU - the 8th key over on the top row of a keyboard!" LOL :lol:

Yahoo Serious

How about those poor Zappa kids? Dweezil and Moon Unit. Their real names :lol:

Well, no one forgets that name! :lol:

Bono...probably because the guy gets on my nerves. :mad: He actually thinks U2 is the most important band on the planet. Talk about an ego.

A rock critic once said that U2 think they're the greatest rock and roll band in the world; sometimes they are, other times they don't even come close. I agree with that sentiment. :)

Thanks! :wave:

Axl Rose - Anyone notice the naughty anagram in there?
HIS STUPID ****ING NAME IRRITATES THE **** OUT OF ME WHENEVER I HEAR IT OR SEE IT. the ****ing idiot should have put a ****ing VOWEL between the 'x' and the 'l'. GOD. i actually call him mr. rose, even with the knowledge that it isn't his real name.

Here here!! I can't even say they ever come close. :rolleyes:


One I do like is the band called "Garbage" - very appropriate for when your parents are asking "What's that garbage you're listening to?"

So does the New York Times. :lol:

Axl Rose - Anyone notice the naughty anagram in there?

Forgive my density LOL, but no I don't...plz explain.

And BTW what IS his real name?

The letters in "Axl Rose," when re-arranged, spell a term that rhymes with "plural hex."

His real name is William Bailey.

OK, I gotcha now (not to be picky, though, but "plural" doesn't exactly rhyme :D )! Thanx!

What's Marilyn Manson's real name?,Anyone know?
