Emma Stone Wants Fans to Call Her a DIFFERENT NAME

Emma Stone explains to 'The Hollywood Reporter' why she would prefer to be called by her birth name, Emily. The 'Poor Things' star says her stage name is Emma, because there was already an 'Emily Stone' in the Screen Actors Guild at the start of her Hollywood career. The Oscar winner has previously said her name was also inspired by Emma Bunton, a.k.a. Baby Spice, of the Spice Girls.

I mean stage names are quiet common and if someone already goes by that in the SAG you can't have 2 people with the same name unless it has an identifying marker like Michael B. Jordan and Michael Jordan. That's obvious. I didn't know she had a baby

[@JamaicaSugar]

What was the point of the Anne Hathaway part? Her first name is Anne. Is she implying she should have chosen her middle name, Jacqueline? It wasn't clear.

[@emilalatadpole7779]

she’s said in other interviews everyone in her life calls her annie

[@NoName-dm7xo]

She didn’t realise that she’d become a big star and her real name would also be her professional name (forever).

Emma Stone needs to be Spider Gwen !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@annajordan243]

Why u keep using the wrong name ???

[@max6623]

I mean what's the problem,?​@annajordan243

[@robinh4]

@@annajordan243 It's not the wrong name, Emma Stone is her stage name. You can call her whatever name you want, but you can't make other people. A lot of actors have stage names, it's perfectly normal. Just like Anne Hathaway's friends only call her Annie, but her fans call her Anne.

[@JohnSmith-nm4zd]

Anne Hathaway is also the name of Shakespeare's wife

[@fernygamer6985]

We need s movie with Enma Stone and Lindsay Lohan as the protagonists. 🙏🏻💯🥰👑👑

[@tartvtheafricanrepublic7825]

I love her. She's brilliant

Emily Stonehenge

[@dani22257]

Maybe it's a mom thing. Mine does it too: only calls me by my given name when she's mad. It's kinda handy though. This way you know when to duck for cover or get gone asap..

[@user-dl8rt4rt6u]

I remember that reality show about the Partridge Family she was on in 2004 and she went by Emily lol

[@annajordan243]

I like Emily Stone. I'll respect her wishes

[@dietrichrache1975]

Both Emma and Emily are great names and I don't have a problem with this. Love her either way.

[@wolviespartan]

Nobody said what Anne Hathaway's name was, you only said that she PICKED Anne. SO what is it? Anna or something totally different like Ermintrude?

[@sarajohnson6550]

Her name is Anne Hathaway but she likes to be called Annie.

[@wolviespartan]

@@sarajohnson6550 But that's not the same at all. Emma and Emily are 2 different names. My name is David, but when someone calls me Dave I don't even see it as different. Thanks for the reply though, cheers :) (by coincidence my sister is called Emma)

[@atiyaspence4301]

Good for her and Michael Keaton should go by his birth name too: Micheal Douglas.

[@Bunny11344]

I always liked the name Emma cause I always loved baby spice 💗

[@Ciclopea2]

Emma Stone is so established, 2 time Oscar winner Emma Stone has a nice ring to it you know what i mean? but yes if i ever have the pleasure of meeting her in person it's a relief to know she doesn't mind me calling her by her actual name, i love the name Emily.

[@quinn-tessential3232]

ET, this is NOT A STORY! You're presenting this as if she held a press conference announcing a name change or something. I know virtually nothing about pop culture and famous people, and yet I've known for more than 10 years that she'd rather be called Emily Stone, her real name, rather than Emma Stone, her SAG-approved stage name.

[@TorQueMoD]

You guys got the info wrong. She chose Emma Stone because she liked baby spice. Baby Spice's name is not Emily Stone and there was no Emily Stone in SAG that prevented her from calling herself Emily Stone.

[@ommeloise6309]

Thanks for the info. Baby Spice’s name is Emma Lee. That’s probably where the confusion happened.

[@MrLookitspam]

Really that’s her mind blowing problem. I’m so sad for her.

[@mopthermopther]

She was good in Zombieland

[@ninajohnson8389]

You can see her before plastic surgery

[@sidlazzar1002]

I didn’t like my name growing up “Sidney” because they would always say it’s a girls name so I chose to go by Sid. Then Toys Story had that demented kid named Sid and Ice age. Both awful characters growing up as a kid 😭🤣

[@wirehyperspace]

Quit trying to change name to Emmy award , because if don't get one you only get nominated, its no easy A ⚖️🗽🏆 all emma wants a pony 🎠

Big deal. I thought she had changed her name to Edward,at least.

[@JohnSmith-nm4zd]

Emma Stone sounds better than Emily Stone

The Artist Formerly Known As Emma Stone? TAFKAES

[@amarigamer1192]

I'm still gonna call you emma stone whether you like it or not

[@emilygooner9697]

Cool I’ve something in common with her now!

[@patrickvanrinsvelt4466]

And why not? Emily is a fine name. She's an Academy Award winner, she can be called whatever she wants.

[@A_English_Gent]

I can't see why she couldn't use her real name I am sure there are countless other Emily Stones out there in the world and the only difference is how each they all look. We all know what Emily Stone the award winning actor looks like and I am sure if another Emily Stone came about in the film industry we would know the difference, I suppose if two Emily Stone's were up for the same award that could make that award ceremony interesting, but as Emily always seems to have some interesting happen at a award ceremony there would be nothing new there 😁

[@rashaq6329]

Stoners 😂?

[@dragonoftheeast695]

I’m glad Emma Stone is brave enough to ask people not to call her Emma Stone anymore❤ The name Emma Stone should not be said from this day forward Good for you Emma Stone
