Can't blame Tiger for thinking Eldrick Woods wouldn't be quite as impressive. "Eldrick Woods" sounds like a Jonah Hex or western-in-general villain.

Not just any real name that's just kind of dorky, i mean names that make you go "huh?" I've known for years, but I still can't wrap head around the fact that Charlie and Martin Sheen are related to Emilio Esteves and their real names are Carlos and Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez. Mexican is the last nationality I would have expected that family to be. Not to metion being confused why Emilio didn't make a more caucasion stage name. James Roday is apparently the Anglo-ized version of his real name, James Rodriguez. Once again, didn't see that one coming. who surprised you when you found out their real name? The Sheen's are of Spanish and not Mexican descent I believe.

Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou would have been way more marketable than "George Michael". What was he thinking?

Makes sense since they look white and Spanish people are white.

Well, would you be surprised if I told you that Method Man's real name is Clifford Smith? I know most rappers don't go by their real names, but then again, David Banner's name isn't David Banner. It's actually Lavell Crump.

Calvin Brodus, AKA Snoop Dogg. Cause "Calvin" is the kind of name you associate with imaginative little troublemakers rather than rappers

I still remember getting into a debate with a relative over Hogan's real name being Terry Bollea, not Terry Hogan.

And my favorite magazine, Weird NJ, once showed a picture of a tombstone that read "Paul Assman." PAUL ASSMAN

John Wayne's first name being Marion. Bonus surprise and amusement at being Marion Morrison (I find alliteration to be hilarious, as well.) And his middle name was Michael. Marion Michael Morrison. MMM.
