Emma Stone reveals she wants to be known by her real name – Emily

Although Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone initially adopted her stage name when she registered for the Screen Actors Guild, she prefers when her colleagues use her birth name. She explained, “It’s just because my name was taken. Then I freaked out a couple of years ago. For some reason, I was like, ‘I can’t do it anymore. Just call me Emily.’ Nathan calls me Em, which is easier.” Stone's stage name was inspired by Spice Girls star Emma Bunton.
