Most Famous Celebrities Who Changed Their Names

Olivia Wilde

The actress seems to have the perfect name. Her name was originally Olivia Jane Cockburn before she hopped onto the acting scene. The surname change happened while Oliva was still in high school. The surname, Wilde, was inspired by her family members who were writers and who used pen names. After her name change, Olivia was accepted into College. The Booksmart star deferred her enrollment several times to pursue a career in acting. Olivia has gone on to make a name for herself in Hollywood, starring in big-screen films.
