* Music/{{Grimes}} was born Claire Elise Boucher. She was initially embarassed to say the reasoning behind the name: on her [=MySpace=] page, she listed her favorite music genre as "Grime" multiple times, despite not knowing what the genre actually was (a subgenre of UK HipHop). In her personal life, she doesn't like the name "Claire" and [[DoNotCallMePaul goes by just "c" instead.]]
* Both members of Music/CrystalCastles go by stage names: Ethan Kath is Claudio Palmieri, and Alice Glass is Margaret Osborne. Music/AliceGlass says the name came from a pin she shoplifted that read the name "Alice" and the character Hopey Glass from the comic ''Love and Rockets.''
* Music/HannahDiamond's real name is Hannah Amond, which makes her stage name only two letters away from her real name.
* Music/ReverendKristinMichaelHayter used to go by the name "Lingua Ignota," a reference to Hildegard of Bingen. She now goes by her real name, Kristin Hayter, with the added reverend title.
* Music/EthelCain is spearheaded by Hayden Silas Anhedonia. Also a case of AlterEgoActing, since Ethel is a character separate from Hayden.

* Sarah Bonito of Music/KeroKeroBonito's name is Sarah Midori Perry--her sideproject and DJ name is "Cryalot."

* The main character of ''Literature/HeartShapedBox'' is a heavy metal singer who is introduced as Judas Coyne - it turns out his real name is Justin Cowzynski, with Judas Coyne being a pun on the coins Judas was given to betray Jesus in Literature/TheBible. Interestingly, this ends up being a MeaningfulName for him instead of just the sacrilegious PunnyName it initially comes off as.

** Raymond Ginn, brother of founding member Greg Ginn, was a member of a very early lineup of the band, but is much better known for designing album covers, fliers, and other artwork for the group under the name Raymond Pettibon. The last name Pettibon came from a nickname given to him by his father, "petit bon", meaning "good little one". It's been speculated by others that he originally wanted to avoid using his birth name because "Ray Ginn" sounded too much like "[[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]]".
** Greg Ginn was credited in the liner notes to Black Flag's ''My War'' under both his own name and "Dale Nixon", as an attempt to downplay the fact that the group was without a bassist and Ginn had to record those parts himself. The name has subsequently been used as a ShoutOut by other groups, sometimes just as a fun in-joke, sometimes to signify that someone in the band played multiple instruments or that the real musician couldn't be credited for contractual reasons: For instance Music/DaveGrohl was credited as Dale Nixon for his work on {{Music/Melvins}}' ''King Buzzo'' EP.

During that time, World Peace was shown at the back of his jersey. A couple of years after he retired from play, he changed it again to Metta Sandiford-Artest.
