Many celebrities have chosen to legally change their names for various reasons over the years. Angelina Jolie, born Angelina Jolie Voight, dropped her last name in 2002 due to her strained relationship with her father, Jon Voight. Similarly, her daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt recently petitioned to remove 'Pitt' from her name and will now go by Shiloh Jolie.
Dove Cameron changed her name from Chloe Celeste Hosterman to Dove in honor of her late father who used to call her by that name. Kelly Clarkson adopted the name Kelly Brianne after her divorce, stating that it better reflects her identity.
