Ashton Kutcher vs Christopher Kutcher [i prefer Ashton but CHristopher is ok too]



Tori Amos vs Myra Amos [prefer Myra. Tori is kinda fake]



Mel Brooks vs Melvin Kaminsky [Brooks is def better than Kaminsky and even though I wouldn't use Mel for any other name than Melissa or Melanie it's far better than Melvin]



Bob Dylan vs Robert Zimmerman [no one can be a celeb with a surname like Zimmerman plus I like Dylan. I hate Bob with passion tho]



Courtney Love vs Love Harrison [Love works better as a last name and Harrison is kinda boring so way to go Courtney]



Miley Cyrus vs Destiny Hope Cyrus [I like Destiny Hope. It's deeper than Miley which is ok for like a five year old but up to there. as for Cyrus...she made me hate it:s]



Joni Mitchel vs Roberta Anderson [don't like either but if i had to choose it would be the latter]



Brad Pitt vs William Pitt [I love William as a name but Brad is more "catchy"]



Bruce Willis vs Walter Willison [Willis is better. Bruce i don't like]





my additions:

William Bailey vs Axl Rose [love both]

William Broad vs Billy Idol [hate Billy love Idol]

Shad Gregory Moss vs Lil Bow Wow [well duh...Shad!]

Christoher Nickolas Sarantakos vs Criss Angel [Criss Angel by far. It looks like my name and is one of my n/n so...:p]

Daniel Michaeli vs Danny De Vito [both are ok]

and many more in the link below

Woo this is fun wow good idea!!!!





Ashton Kutcher vs Christopher Kutcher............I prefer Christopher over Ashton because I like more traditional names and I'm not big on the "ash" names. Kutcher is a funny name to me but last names are last names lol. So Christopher Kutcher.



Tori Amos vs Myra Amos.............Well....If it was Victoria as her full name I prefer that but I don't like Tori as it sounds more boyish to me. Myra is an alright name, not my cup of tea though. Myra if her full name is Tori but Victoria if Tori is short for that. Amos is I dunno alright. So Victoria Amos or Myra Amos.



Mel Brooks vs Melvin Kaminsky.............Haha, is that his real name? I prefer Mel Brooks. Mel sounds less "dorky" then Melvin and Brooks is a pretty sweet last name and Kaminsky doesn't have the same appeal. So Mel Brooks.



Bob Dylan vs Robert Zimmerman...............My dad always says this was his real name lol. I prefer Robert for the first name as I don't like Bob but I like Dylan as the last name over Zimmerman. So Robert Dylan



Courtney Love vs Love Harrison...............As much as I don't like the name Courtney I am going to have to go with that over Love lol. But I like Harrison better as the last name than Love. That sounds cheesy to me. So Courtney Harrison.



Miley Cyrus vs Destiny Hope Cyrus...........DUDE hands down Miley! I HATE THE NAME DESTINY it's so tacky! Let's just name our child "Candy TheStripper" So Miley Cyrus TOTOALLY!



Joni Mitchel vs Roberta Anderson..........Joni Mitchel deffently. Roberta is just not pretty to me and Anderson I think is ruined as a last name. So Joni Mitchel.



Brad Pitt vs William Pitt..........Hah, really? William? That's funny how they change their names. I prefer William deffently. So William Pitt



Bruce Willis vs Walter Willison............This is difficult since I don't like Bruce OR Walter... hmm lol. I guess Bruce..... and Willis so I guess Bruce Willis lol.













If you know any more...feel free to add them!













John Waynes real name was Marion Morrison........Poor guy! Marion! "Mary-on" I mean yuck lol.
