Exclamation One reason.

Most name changes are for the protection of the star and family. Suppose you're this big time celeb with papparazzi and stalkers everywhere. Some might try to get to you in some way through a close friend or relative. People are crazy, and you'd be surprised what people will do just to get near an actor or actress. It blows my mind.
