Do you think Lady Gaga wants to change her stage name?

So throughout Gaga’s career, there is no doubt that she has evolved. But after ARTPOP, and when she did Cheek To Cheek, she really reflected on what she wanted to do as an artist. 

Not to say her previous albums and small movie rolls before ARTPOP were not great or “mature” but Gaga was still “new” to the industry. Starting with Check To Check, there was a shift to a more “mature” sound and body of work, and her role in “A Star Is Born” sealed that reflection of maturity and growth. And sometimes I notice in interviews that the interviewer somewhat hesitates to say her name and the GP seems puzzled to call her Gaga or Lady Gaga.

So long story short, sometimes I feel that with time, I can’t help to think Lady Gaga doesn’t want to use that stage name anymore, or maybe she wished she choose a more “serious” stage name or would rather go by another name or simply “Lady”. 
 

Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love her stage name, Lady Gaga! And would never want her to change it. But I can’t help wonder if she choose a more “ minimalistic“ or “normal” sounding stage name from the start, she would have been more taken serious as an artist as all of us little monster known from the beginning. 
 

What do you think?

Nah. I think she's pretty much confirmed that "Lady Gaga" is an enigmatic chameleon.

She can sing jazz with Tony Bennett, get puked on while riding a mechanical pig with a ball gag in its mouth, blow away the world singing a medley of classics from The Sound of Music at the academy awards, dance half naked to electronic music, piss off half her fanbase with a blue wig, sing at presidential inaugurations, bring down the house at the Super Bowl, set a dive bar on fire, etc . "Lady Gaga" can be anything and do anything. She is every icon :vegas:

I remember staying up late to watch the live stream of the SXSW festival performance. And when that paint vomit happened, I fell more in love with Swine and Gaga.

No.

Lady Gaga is the perfect name for what she does. Sometimes she’s more Lady, sometimes more Gaga and always some combination of both.

As she’s matured she’s definitely embraced being called “lady” more, whereas in the beginning she always said it was weird for people to call her “lady” and she preferred Gaga.

she’s acknowledged her “stefani-ness” more and more now and speaks about it as the human side of her. Stefani doesn’t belong to the public and I don’t see that ever changing.

please enlighten me to death

To this day it's my favorite performance of hers :bradley:

No, I really don't think so. She had the opportunity with ASIB to start going by her real name, it would have been the prefect time if she wanted to do it, but she stuck with Gaga. Her Oscar says Lady Gaga, and that was her choice. 

I would be really surprised at this point if she chooses to go by anything else.

No her stage name is completely iconic and a household name. Everyone now knows how talented she is and what’s she’s capable of, so I think with time the GP has really changed their view on her for the better!

Yes. She doesn't want to be Lady Gaga anymore, she now wants to be called Irresponsible :emma:

Nah, I think she really loves being called Lady Gaga. The rumor was the studio really wanted her to go by Stefani Germanotta for ASIB and she insisted on going by her stage name, instead.

That’s somewhat the rumor I heard around that time. I remember going to the Thursday early screening of ASIB, and at the end credits, An old woman yelled, “Lady Gaga was in this movie?” 😂 I was both filled with rage and laughter at the same time. 
 

Gaga did an amazing job in that movie.

She has the best stage name I’ve ever heard. It’s a name you hear that makes you think “art.” Her name could mean anything and it represents her duality of both class and weirdness perfectly. I love it so much and I hope she never changes it

I was about to bring this up,

yes! I remember it was even being reported that it was up in the air whether she’d go as Stefani Germanotta or Lady Gaga and she even tweeted about it.
