Either there is someone with that name already in the profession, or it's a DBA (like a corporation), or they just want a catchier name that will leap off the page when a casting director is looking for someone.

Mine would be Buck Naked.

True. David Bowie was David Jones, and then the Monkees came along.

Katy Perry was Katy Hudson. Already a Kate Hudson in the entertainment biz. Didn't want to confuse people.
