I never completely believed that Sting was actually his real name (but I always hoped). Sadly though, it’s a just a stage name and the sleuths at Mashable dug up some of the most interesting (or least interesting) real names. While disappointingly normal, Sting’s real name isn’t even the worst one out there. Just wait until you see what Lady Gaga’s real name is. It’s a mouthful.
1.) Sting.
2.) Sir Mix-A-Lot.
3.) Gene Simmons.
4.) Snoop Dog.
5.) Rihanna.
6.) 50 Cent.

I’d like to meet the marketing team that came up with Lorde from Ella Yelich O’Connor. That’s insanely inventive.
