Having nothing better to do (besides about a thousand things), I took an online quiz about celebs and their stage names. I scored a semi-impressive 16/26.
(The not-so-nice side of me also loves knowing that not everyone was born with a name that slips off the tongue -- see Goldie Hawn -- I also had a last name I didn’t like and couldn’t wait to change it!)
Did YOU know these real names?

I think the only one I knew was Demi Moore. I knew some of them were stage names -- that's really Goldie's last name?
