Do you know who Heather Renée Sweet is? No? No wonder, because the lady is known to us only under her stage name. A tip: She is usually dressed lightly, dances very erotic and loves a special fashion style.
Even more civic names of the stars are in the gallery (20 images).
Many stars change their real name as soon as their career goes uphill. Sometimes their real name is hard to pronounce and can even make an international career difficult, like Diane Kruger's. Or the pseudonym comes from nicknames that are just as crisp as Miley Cyrus or Pink.
Even with likelihood of confusion with already famous celebrities a name change is inevitable. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson aka Katy Perry could otherwise have been associated with the actress Kate Hudson.
There are also celebrities who simply want to protect their privacy with a stage name. However, this rarely happens in Hollywood, as it is almost impossible to keep anything secret in the glittering world.
By the way, Heather Renée Sweet is none other than the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. How she came to her extraordinary name, we tell you in the gallery.
