Models That Have Changed Their Names

[scorpian]

monika jagaciak >>> jac
unsurprisingly and understandably

 

[models_vlada]

KASIA STRUSS ->that's not her real name, she changed it because it was too complicated to pronounce and remember

Her real name is... Katarzyna Strusińska

 

[haksare]

I read somewhere that Georgina Stojiljkovic's real name was something like Djurja.
Correct me I'm wrong

 

[Birgit]

I've read somewhere that Agyness' real name is Danielle, but I guess it's wrong.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Auguste Abeliunaite.. sometimes goes by Tomasuite, I think Abeliunaite is her real name though i think..

 

[min-SH]

I've read somewhere that Agyness' real name is Danielle, but I guess it's wrong.

its laura hollins i think.

Its Laura Hollins.

Not really a name change but Marisa Miller's real name is Marisa Bertetta. She just kept her first husband's last name - Miller. I like her own name much better though.

 

[Edita]

Such an interesting thread

Toni Garrn ist Antonia Garrn

Dont know more

 

[Thanatos]

I so love how Agyness's real name is Laura Hollins.
Apparently it's because numerology says that the name would bring her success.

Yeah, Georgina was born Đurđa Stojiljković...

i read that Charlotte di Calypso's name isnt really hers

 

[Hemmy]

i read that Charlotte di Calypso's name isnt really hers

Charlotte changed her name from Charlotte Beillard to Charlotte DiCaliypso

 

[Katie123]

Charlotte Di Calypso's name has definitely got a p*rnstar/action hero quality to it, it could never be her real name!!!

also i understand why eastern european models would change their name in the industry, they must get tired of hearing mispronunciations

Angelique Deng changed hers to Ajak

kinda catchy I'm getting used to it.

I didn´t know, but I really like her new name it´s catchy. And very modelesque.

Did the name changing progress for Aggy go like this: Laura Hollins --> Agnes Hollins --> Agyness Deyn?

it was more like this:

Laura Hollins --> Agnes Hollins --> Agnes Dean --> Agyness Deyn

perhaps due to people mispelling it along the way

PS:
Meng-Yao Xi was renamed Ming Xi to make her more marketable
Hye Rim Park's Hangul name is Bak Hye Lim
Aminata Niaria's first name 'Mia' was dropped for the more exotic 'Aminata'
Du Juan originally adopted a really plain english name. I think it was 'Jenny' or 'Cathy' or something

 

[Maxxierie]

^ Why Agyness Dean? Most models who change their names have related the old and new names in some way but Aggy is way out. It's still a cool name, i guess.

 

[Katie123]

it's some astrological thing i think?

Sophie Srej's real hungarian name is Zsófia Srej ( Zsófi its Sophie in hungarian, but "zs" is hard to pronounce. its like J in Jacques in french)
and the surname is the first in Hungary, so the original names: Mihalik Enikő, Rajzák Kinga, Srej Zsófi, Palvin Barbara, Fórizs Adina, etc. :]
