Interesting list. I think Miley Cyrus should have stayed as Destiny Hope Cyrus. That sounds better to me.

I must admit that I only know nine of the 20 names on that list... :o
While most celebs choose their stage names mainly for coolness reasons nowadays, there were times when it was necessary to blur out your ethnic background by changing your name in order to pursue a nationwide career (examples):
Judy Garland - Frances Ethel Gumm
John Garfield - Julius Garfinkle
Samuel Goldwyn - Samuel Gelbfisch
Anton Walbrook - Adolf Wohlbrück

that reminds me of my favorite joke!
So this young man is at diner in Hollywood. The waitress asks him how he is doing and he says that he is doing fine and that he just arrived in town. She inquires what business he has that brings him there. He tells her that he wants to become a famous actor. She says, "well, what is your name? I'll look for it on the screen and seen if you become famous."
The man says, "My name is Penis Von lesbian." and the waitress says, "That's a terrible name, you'll never make it anywhere with a name like that. My advice to you is to pick a new name."
So several years pass by and one day the man returns to the diner and he has the same waitress. She says, "I remember you. How could I forget a name like that? So did you ever achieve your dream of becoming a famous actor?" and the man says Yes he did. She asks him, "So did you take my advice and change your name?" and he says Yes he did.
"what did you change it to?"
"Dick Van Dyke."
