Doesn't it seem like barely any celebrities actually use their given name? Most go by nicknames or change their name to sound more acceptable to the American people. It's actually pretty depressing when you think about it.
Anyway, it is these name changes that are the subject of today's question. Off of Pocket Trivia: Celebrity Trivia - What celebrity's real name is Gordon Sumner? Is it John Lennon, Sting, Gene Simmons or Charlie Sheen?
John Lennon's real name is John Lennon. Yes, he actually didn't change it.
Gene Simmons' (of Kiss fame) real name is Chaim Weitz. Okay, the change makes a bit of sense in that case.
Charlie Sheen's real name is Carlos Irwin Estevez. Winning.
Anyway, the correct answer here is Sting. Sting's birth name is Gordon Matthew Sumner. There are a few stories about how he got his name, but the most widely accepted version is when he appeared on stage wearing a black and yellow sweater that made him look like a bee.
Buzz.
