Emma Stone wants to ditch her stage name, keep original. Do you know what it is?

Emma Stone was told she would have to change her title from Emily to something else when she signed up to the Screen Actors Guild, as under SAG rules no two members can have the same name and there was already an Emily Stone listed.

The La La Land star was told she would have to change her title from Emily to something else when she signed up to the Screen Actors Guild, as under SAG rules no two members can have the same name and there was already an Emily Stone listed, reported Femalefirst.

“Well, I was 16 when I found out at SAG I couldn’t have my own name. So to ask a 16-year-old to pick a new name is really an interesting process because I was like, ‘I’m going to be Riley. My name is going to be Riley Stone.

Emma Stone attends 'Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone hand and footprint ceremony' at TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX on December 7, 2016 in Hollywood, California.

“And so my name was Riley Stone for about six months and I did a guest spot on Malcolm in the Middle and one day they were like, ‘Riley, Riley,’ and I had no idea who they were talking to and they were like, ‘Hey, hey come on we need you on set.’ And I was like, ‘Oh I’m not Riley, I can’t be Riley’,” she added.

Emm is not sure if changing her name back to the original will be a good idea.

“I had the option of Emily J Stone and it’s kind of like Michael J Fox, and I love Michael J Fox, but I don’t think I could pull off the J So then I changed it to Emma because you know it’s closer to Emily, but most people call me ‘M’, that know me well. I would love to get her (Emily Stone) back,” Stone said.
