Not all celebrities are born with the perfect-sounding show biz name. Some names are too long, some sound plain stupid and some just lack that certain Hollywood pizzazz!
This list starts with the names we all know and love followed by that celeb's REAL birth name.
10) King of the Western's John Wayne, born Marion Michael Morrison (bit girly for a macho cowboy I suppose)
9) 'GI Jane' actress Demi Moore, born Demetria Guynes (quirky, but cool)
8) Charlie Sheen, born Carlos Irwin Estevez (not so bad)
7) 'Silence of the Lambs' Clarice Starling aka actress Jodie Foster, born
Alicia Christian Foster (like Alicia better personally)
6) 'Ghost' physic Whoopie Goldberg, born Caryn Johnson (good choice)
5) Kirk Douglas, born Issur Danielovich Demsky (err pardon?)
4) Audrey Hepburn, born Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston (I can see why she changed it now!)
3) 'War of the Worlds' actor Tom Cruise, born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (cringe!)
2) Meg Ryan, born Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra (could be a bit of a mouthful...and the award goes to?)
1) The original 'Alfie'star Michael Caine, born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite (hey, why did you change it Mike? Maurice?)
Did you know?...
Brigette Bardot was born Camille Javal. In 1963, she starred in the movie 'Contempt' playing a character by the name of?
