Page "Stage name" Paragraph 10

Another consideration in choosing a stage name is ease of use.

The Actors ' Equity Association ( AEA ) advises performers to select a name that is easy for others to pronounce, spell, and remember.

Some performers while paying great attention to their skills and abilities give little thought to the difference that a well-thought-out name can make to their career.

Often it is only after the realization that a poorly chosen name results in an undesired impression that a person or group decides on a different name.
