This list of stage names lists performers (and others related to the entertainment industry) alphabetically according to surname (assumed or genuine) and their nickname. Individuals who have dropped their last name and substituted their middle name as their last name are listed. Also listed are individuals who have changed the spelling of one (or more) of their legal names (such as Willem Dafoe).
People are not listed here if they fall into one (or more) of the following categories:
- Their main forename happens not to be the first one, such as Paul McCartney and Marie Osmond—these are their real names, not stage names.
- People referred to by merely a shortened or informal version of their given name, such as Bob Barker and Jimmie Rodgers.
- People who may be popularly (though not necessarily professionally) known by a nickname, such as Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
- People who use names that they legally adopted before they entered the entertainment industry. Examples:
- Julie Andrews was born Julia Elizabeth Wells, but took the name Andrews when she moved in with her stepfather as a child.
- Art Linkletter was born Gordon Arthur Kelly, but his name was changed to Arthur Gordon Linkletter when he was adopted in infancy.
- Tupac Shakur was born either Lesane Parish Crooks or Parish Lesane Crooks, depending on the source, but his name was changed in early childhood to Tupac Amaru Shakur. Other stage names Shakur used, such as 2Pac, are listed.
- By contrast, Elton John is listed here because he used the name professionally before he legally adopted it in 1972.
- People who changed their family name solely due to marriage, such as Pamela Des Barres.
