Paco 3,040 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The name Lady Gaga is catchy and iconic. Unique too. And it intrigued people to search her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 6,254 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I think we can all realize it. I know many even more talented artists and they will probably never have commercial success. I know. After the fact, we all know how unique and glorious her name is, if for nothing else, the sheer fact it was inspired by Radio Gaga by Queen! How many pop stars can say that? I was just thinking about stars like Adele, Lorde, and Katy Perry, and even Gwen Stefani, and wondered about her in that hypothetical situation. 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia 3,775 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I think "Stefani" would have been fine - it's an easy enough name and the spelling is memorable. If she was the same as she is now, what would be the difference? A name doesn't mean a whole lot - it's the person not the name. Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others. -Socrates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia 3,775 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 What was interesting about Madonna, was she had a cool and unique name, and that really was her name. It was memorable due to the fact the name was quite the opposite of her persona. ;) Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others. -Socrates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo 4,182 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 If she went by just "Stefani", I'd be annoyed with her, like I am with other artists whose single names are just too commonplace. (I can't think of any examples right now, but there are lots of them.) To me, if you're going to use just your given name, then your given name better be something as distinctive as "Cher", "Madonna", or "Prince".And of course if she went by "Stefani Germanotta", everyone would complain that it was too long. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allison M 357 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Rah rah ah ah ah, roma roma ma, ste-fah-ni ger-ma-notta, want your Bad Romance. It just doesn't have the same ring to it I'm laughing way too hard at this post hahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfall 3,723 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Gaga makes her stand out, Stefani is a normal name and quite forgettable. Gaga is better and it works in songs better. Â ''Red Ooone, Stefaaaaniiii'' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanBall 1 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Stefani Germanotta is just a bit of a mouthful, and not as memorable in comparison to 'Lady Gaga' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 She'd probably be a rockstar. Fronting an Atmospheric/Industrial hybrid metal band.  It would have been amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miker 5,683 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 An introduction to flamboyance means eating cheerios and creating a shock value that may not have had the same impact if she was was known only as Stefani. Â Â Mars..........or bust! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth 2 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 She just created a catchy stage name. It has a ring to it, and its easy to remember. Her real first name just reminds of me Gwen Stefani Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopReaper 2,194 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Her work as Stefani is so different from her work as Lady Gaga, that I think labelling albums like The Fame or ARTPOP as a Stefani album would be kinda weird. The name changes helps to differentiate the phases of her work imo. Fun Fact: The K in KPop stands for "Kate Bush" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
