Re: Singers' full given names
I could never figure out why Iggy Azalea changed her name. Ok, so Iggy was her dog's name and Azalea Street is the street she grew up on but still...isn't Amethyst unique enough?I always liked the sound and look of the name Shania so her name stands out. The meaning is lovely too (I'm on my way). It's certainly more memorable than Eileen.

I really love the name Amethyst, I think I would've used it as a stage name if I were her. However, a part of being famous is creating your own image. Maybe Amethyst didn't fit the vibe she was going for. Personally, I think Amethyst sounds like an electronic pop DJ, or a synthetic pop group, not a rapper. But then again, rappers have all types of names. There are a lot of options. I guess Iggy Azalea just clicked for her. I think it suits her, anyway.
