    Some of us are stuck with boring, or embarrassing, surnames that we don’t particularly like. Others of us resent our parents for our god awful first name. And then there are some people who have two seemingly normal names, but when they’re put together sound like something else entirely… ‘Wayne Kerr’, anybody? Celebrities, however, always seem to have glamorous sounding names that roll off the tongue and communicate ‘star power’. Why is that? Oh yeah, because they sensibly upgraded from the ones they were given at birth! Just like the 13 celebs listed below! Take a look!
