Gaga should drop her stage name

Easy

The brand Lady Gaga now means someone who has no limit, unpredictable and talented. She doesn't need a new stage name. She will be remembered as one of the most versatile artists of all time, the one and only Lady Gaga. :classy:

Overall, it probably wouldn't be the best idea, but....

What if she released an EP/LP under Stefani Germanotta, and stayed a separate little side project that only fans knew about?

Green Day did a similar thing about 10 years ago, creating a side band called Foxboro Hot Tubs

That would actually ruin her brand. Why start over and start confusion?

I think it'd be really interesting. I'm still wondering how ASIB OST will be marketed, if she uses her birth name I'm guessing all the music will be under Stefani Germanotta.

That's a little different.

While Gaga's real name isn't well known, using it as a name for a side project doesn't really work, since it's not another stage name. And Gaga, while known to do that, she honestly couldn't possibly keep it secret for too long. She gets too excited.

Plus, I think Green Day released those songs without even fans knowing it was them.

I don't think that's a good idea

I've been watching some videos recently about Gaga in ASIB and half the people mispronounce her last name. I've heard Germanotta with a hard G, Germanotto, Germanottie...

REALITY

That would be not only pointless, but disappointing. Gaga has built a legacy, with music, fashion, and activism. She is and forever will be Lady Gaga. 

From a business standpoint, it's, I'm sorry, but stupid. Like, not only does she have to take the extra effort to rebrand herself as "Stefani Germanotta", but she'd also have to re-educate people in saying that Stefani and Gaga are one in the same person. I mean, if you were just a regular member of the GP, how would you feel about Gaga all of a sudden just changing her name? I mean, you'd be like, "Wait, who is Stefani??", then "Wait. Stefani is Gaga?!", then "Why'd she change her name?!" 

Also, from an artistic standpoint, if she changed her name, it would seem as though everything she's taught and preached, especially about art, was all just a lie. I know, it's just a name, but like I said, she's built a legacy with that name, and she's not going to just take that down. It'd feel like we lost someone that we fell in love with.

What?

the name LADY GAGA is iconic. IT RINGS IN EVERYONE'S EARS.

HEARING THAT NAME LEAVES YOU SHOOKETH from the past slaydom.

She changes it, then her career dies.

Exactly! The GP would be like: "who's Stefani"

then we'd be like "Stefani and Gaga = the same person"

GP: "what? Gaga is Stefani?"
US: "Yup"

then the GP will begin associating Stefani as Gaga and then the whole point of the name change is defeated. When they see "Stefani" they will think Gaga.

To switch names for the sake of avoiding public perceptions of things she was committed to in the past would totally be against her brand of freely being yourself.
