For Lady Gaga you missed an important detail, fusari was meant to text her calling her ‘Radio Gaga’ but ‘Radio’ got autocorrected to ‘Lady’ and thus, she decided that’s what she would call herself!

Another reason I've heard that Damon and Jamie chose "Gorillaz" is because the collective name for a group of Gorillas is "a band." So it's quite literally a band of Gorillas.

For what it's worth, WWE makes people choose a stage name so they can own the rights to everything they do within the company and all the merch etc.

Don't know if it's true so fact-check if you're interested but I've heard that the reason Eminem changed his name from M&M is because he was in an argument with his Mother and made the acronym "Everyone's Mother Is Nice Except Mine" and it just stuck from there

Seth Rollins was called Tyler Black on the indies, so he changed his name when he came to WWE. For Rollins, Seth is a huge metal fan, and a fan of Black Flag in particular. The frontman, Henry Rollins, is where Seth got the last name As for Seth, it straight up isn’t a common name in wrestling, so Seth decided to use it from here on out

In case anyone was wondering wwe wants to be able to trademark their wrestlers stage names that’s why most wrestlers don’t use their own names. And Seth Rollins name came about because he liked the name Seth and a nod to Henry Rollins.

Yeah Jamie Hewlett was the co-creator of Tank Girl. He did the illustrations. In Gorillaz, he was the visual artist. He designed the band members, with Albarn working on the music. Both came up with ideas for the characters of the members, but Hewlett was the one who drew them. Hewlett has done various things in his career, but he's predominantly known as an artist.

Also... He could have just misspoken, but he says Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett were previously in Blur. Jamie Hewlett is an artist, he co-created Tank Girl, as the illustrator. As co-creators of Gorillaz, Albarn was responsible for the music, and Hewlett the visuals. He designed the band members. Both Albarn and Hewlett would come up with ideas for the characters of the members but Hewlett is the one who drew them. Yeah, it isn't egregious misinformation, it's kind of nitpicky. Again, he could've just misspoke. But I guess... It's kind of lazy content in general? It's an alphabetical list of stage names, with a bunch of them being an artist's real name or a slight variation of it.

Why do some work and other don’t? Idk just an idea. I think of stone colds when you hear that glass shatter and that menacing guitar or even currents like Seth Rollins.

To answer why business wise people do this. It’s so they can still own their own name. In the music industry, if you’re signed to a label and use your regular first and last name, the label owns that name. Same with wrestling. WWE for example owns the name John Cena. So anytime he’s in a movie or commercial, they get a cut. Like a 360 deal in music. So having a stage name is just another way to keep your own name.
