These people are known not only in Russia, but throughout the rest of the world, but most fans do not even suspect that they became famous not under their own names, but under a well-chosen pseudonym.
Mikhail Galustyan
Immediately after birth, the boy received the name – Nshan. The future celebrity lived with him for some time, but quickly noticed that not everyone around him could pronounce it correctly. By the way, as Galustyan admitted, at work he was called in a simple way – Misha. After the start of performances on the big stage as part of the KVN team, yesterday’s Nshan changed his name to a more familiar one, and now he is known as Mikhail Galustyan.
Jasmine
The artist with the name of the most beautiful flower has repeatedly admitted that since childhood she dreamed of a sonorous name. It so happened that at birth, the future Jasmine received the name Sarah. The growing singer was not against her name, but friends often compared her to a bright and charismatic princess from oriental fairy tales. And so the pseudonym Jasmine appeared, which gave Sarah all-Russian fame.
Pelagia
The mother of the future star, even during pregnancy, picked up a beautiful name for her daughter, but the registry office made a mistake and for some reason called the baby Polina Smirnova. Already in adolescence, the girl decided to change her name and fulfill her mother’s desire. So Polina Smirnova became Pelageya Khanova, known to us for her unique vocals and performance of folk songs.
Klava Koka
The famous Russian singer Klava Koka always bore her beautiful name, but the girl’s surname was different. The real name of the celebrity is Claudia Vysokova. At some point, Klava’s friends thought that this surname did not go well with her image and decided to call her Koka. By the way, they did not fail, because it was under this pseudonym that the girl ended up in the tops of the music charts.
