Stage Name

Eilleen Regina Edwards has sold more than 85 million albums and is one of the top-selling female artists in country music history. Don't recognize that name? Try this: Shania Twain. Shania, like so many other entertainers, became famous using a stage name. Some used a single moniker like Sting or Prince, while others ventured into different territory, such as Engelbert Humperdinck.

If you want to be a porn star, some suggest using the name of your first pet as your first name and the name of the street you grew up on as your surname. Using this trick, my name would be Sandalwood Groschell.

Not bad, but it's not really my style. I prefer something with a bit more resonance.

Here is my new stage name: Mitchell M. Mitchell.

What's your name?"
