Stevie Wonder
You did not think that Stevie Wonder was the legendary American singer-songwriter’s real name, did you? If you did, we might think that you were very superstitious. Well, the writing is finally on the wall, as Wonder’s birth name was “Stevland Hardaway Morris”. This was perhaps a name better suited for a classical music virtuoso rather than a soulful pop star. Few people could ever aptly use the surname of “Wonder” other than the man himself.

Bono
If you ever wondered where the moniker “Bono” originated, you need only consult one of the U2 lead singer’s childhood buddies, who began calling him “Bono Vox”, a loose adaptation of the Latin phrase, “Bonavox”, which means – can you guess it? – “good voice”. The nickname stuck well into the artist’s fame and fortune through his decades of incredible performances and record album sales. Bono has another iconic feature beyond his stage name, which is his red glasses.
