|Using Another Name |

|[pic] Do you know who Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is? Many people would be surprised to know that this is the real name of Lady |

|Gaga, the pop star. She uses a different name, called a pseudonym, in her career. |

|[pic] Performers often choose to change their names and identities with a pseudonym. They want names that are easy to remember. Some |

|pop and hip hop singers choose really unusual names. Singer Lady Gaga has fans that love her not just because of her music, but for her|

|strange clothes and exciting performances. Her name represents the kind of performer that she is. |

|[pic] There are also actors who want more attractive names, while others use a pseudonym to hide their identity. Martin Sheen, a |

|popular movie and television actor, was born Ramón Estevez. When he started acting in the 1960s, he felt that he had problems getting |

|acting jobs because of his Latino name. So he invented the pseudonym, Martin Sheen. With his new name, he became a star. |

|[pic] Authors also use pseudonyms, called pen names, when they want to hide their identity from the public. J. K. Rowling became very |

|famous when she wrote the popular Harry Potter books for young people. Then in 2013, she began to write detective books for adults. To |

|keep her identity a secret, she created a pen name, Robert Galbraith. Rowling wanted her new books to be successful without using her |

|famous name. |

|[pic] There are many reasons that famous people use pseudonyms. Would you? |
