Of course the chick who can do no wrong, Jennifer Lawrence, has a retro-cool rock-star middle name: Shrader, which sounds like a heavy metal guitarist’s stage name (“Dude! It’s a mix of shred and raider!”) Points for being unisex.

It’s unclear why he traded Walter for Bruce, but he’s one of the most recognizable names and faces in Hollywood, so we’d say it wasn’t a bad choice!

It’s a bit unclear why the British hottie chose Jude over David, but he was named after the famous Beatles song “Hey Jude”, so we think that may have had something to do with it.
Rihanna

Rihanna was known to friends back home as Robyn, but ditched it to become the legend we know today. Perhaps because there’s already a singer named Robyn?
