7 Sean Combs was originally known as Puff Daddy and then as P. Diddy. In August 2005, he changed his stage name to simply Diddy. He continues to use the name P. Diddy in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, the latter after a legal battle with another artist, Richard "Diddy" Dearlove. In June 2008, Combs' representative denied rumors of another name change.
4.8 The band was formed in 1990 under the name Razzle and gained a large following. A few years later, the group changed its name to Stain, but due to another band owning the name, they changed their name to Lit in 1996.
7.5 He first adopted the stage name Jorge Ben, then changed it to Jorge Benjor in 1989 and finally to Jorge Ben Jor.
5.5 Used to be A New Found Glory, but they changed their band name simply to New Found Glory to prevent confusion in record stores.
6.1 The four original members of the band have known each other since attending the same school and formed Kara's Flowers, a garage/grunge band. The name was taken from a girl that the band had a "collective crush" on. After the failure of their debut album, the members went to college in different places. When the band members were reunited again, their new label insisted that the band change its name to break with its pop-rock past.
6.3 Firt named Mighty Joe Young, they received a call from their lawyer, during the recording of their debt album, who informed them that there was a blues man who had already claimed the name. They changed the band's name to Shirley Temple's Pussy and performed under this name for a short time, but then changed the name again due to record label pressure. They liked the initials STP and eventually settled on the name Stone Temple Pilots in 1992.
5.9 The band was formed in 1992 as Blink only, but appended 182 to the end of their name after being threatened with legal action by an Irish pop band named Blink.
0 First known as Sandra Sá, changed her stage name to Sandra De Sá some years later.
6.4 After graduating from high school, the band members formed Xero and failed to land a record deal. After replacing some members, the band changed its name to Hybrid Theory, but then, finding ou that a band named Hybrid Theory already exists, changed the name again, now to Linkin Park, a play on and homage to Santa Monica’s Lincoln Park.
6.4 Before their firt EP was released, the band dropped the original name, Sweet Children, in order to avoid confusion with another local band, Sweet Baby. The band adopted the name Green Day, allegedly due to their fondness of marijuana.
7.9 First named The Yardbirds, changed the name to The New Yardbirds after changing the band members. Then, the band changed its name to Lead Zeppelin, and finally dropped the A in "lead" at the suggestion of their manager, to prevent people from pronouncing it "leed".
7.3 The band originally formed as Riverfenix in 1995 and released an EP and an album, before having to change their name to Fenix TX, due to a cease and desist order from the estate of actor River Phoenix.
10 Formerly known as Thundercross and, more recently, Rhapsody, had to add Of Fire to the name 'cause there's an Autralian band already named Rhapsody.
5 The first name was Magnified Plaid, a tribute to the original guitarist's fascination with plaid shirts, but did not fit on the band's posters. Consequently, the name was abbreviated to M.P. But in Yuri Ruley's handwriting, periods appeared as X's, and since he made up the show posters for the band, the four-letter moniker stuck and they've become MxPx.
6.9 CSS is an acronym for the original name, Cansei de Ser Sexy, based on a quote by Beyoncé who declared that she was "tired of being sexy".
6.1 The band was initially named Majesty and after a few years changed its name to Dream Theater, the name of a movie house in Monterey, California.
6.3 The Sudden Death Cult shortened their name to Death Cult, then finally just The Cult, which proved quite popular.
5.8 The band was initially named 67 North then changed it to Big Blue Monkey. They changed their name to Story Of The Year in 2002, after the release of their EP titled Story of the Year, when they realized a blues group of the same name had already existed.

Description
Musicians and bands that have changed their stage names, even if just for a while. Work in progress, suggestions are always welcome :)

algumas sugestões:
Dream Theater
Originalmente chamados de Majesty, mudaram o nome para o de um teatro na vizinhança em Los Angles.
Led Zeppelin
O baterista do the Who, Keith Moon, achou que a banda de Jimmy Page, que ainda se chamava The New Yardbirds, era pesada como chumbo e flutuava como um Zepelim. Daí Lead Zeppelin (Zepelim de Chumbo). Um Zepelin trata-se de um balão dirigível em forma de charuto. Mais tarde o nome foi mudado para Led Zeppelin para não ter dúvidas quanto à pronúncia.
Linkin Park
A banda se chamava "Hybrid Theory", mudou o nome para "Linkin Park" por questões legais porque já existia uma outra banda com esse nome. Eles escolheram esse nome porque o Chester Bennington (vocalista) costumava dirigir pelo Lincon Park em Santa Mônica (que era uma vizinhança onde os desabrigados costumavam ir) e esse nome ganhou a atenção de todos por sua boa sonoridade. Eles mudaram alguma coisinha no nome porque assim eles poderiam comprar o domínio pois o linconpark.com era muito caro.
