Every single rapper that ever lived has adopted a new name, so they should be exempted from this list.

Many, many Jewish artists changed their names throughout the '30's through the '80's, in order to combat anti-Semitism and/or to get more "American"-sounding names. Same is true of many Italian entertainers.

My addition to the list is the guy that set up the hit on Nancy Kerrigan. He went from Jeff Gillooly to Jeff Stone.
