You likely won't see Emma Stone credited in film/television anymore...

Apparently the two-time Oscar winner would like everyone to call her by her given name from here on: Emily Stone. She chose "Emma" because apparently there was already an actor in SAG who went by Emily Stone. However, she's tired of the name and wants to be referred to by her Christian name.

Not sure who the real Emily Stone is, but there is only one way to settle the dispute for the name: trial by combat

I can respect that. Having to change your name because it was taken must have felt weird.

She’s a two-time Oscar winner?

Indeed.

She won Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie La La Land in 2017 and won Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie Poor Things back in March.

she probably bought the name from the previous Emily S.

When Mickey Fox came down from Canada he discovered there was already one in tSAG. He tried to buy the name but H'wood Mickey wanted $5K for it.

So Mickey Fox became Michael J. Fox.













There was already a Michael Fox in tSAG.

Micheal Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas. He had to change it for obvious reasons so he chose Keaton after Buster Keaton.

She's always been Emily and never hid it. Is she going to use a middle initial in credits now?

David Tennant's real name is David McCallum. He had to change it because there's another David McCallum, so he took the last name of the guy from the Pet Shop Boys.

McCallum also wrote the hook for Dre/Snoop song that starts with "Loddy Doddy Dah, it's the motherfricking D o double G" during his stint in the music business in the 70's.

David Bowie was born David Jones. He didn't want to be confused with Davy Jones of Monkees fame.
