stage name 

a name commonly used by punk rock kids. When the last name isn't hardcore enough, a stage name is used. Usually used with alliteration. A new first name can be added for effect.
Usually punk kids go through a few different names before settling on one that fits right. You get TO THE MAX points for it being earned.
If desired, both first and last name may be replaced with one single name.

Examples of stage names: Myke Massakre, Brendon Boycott, Sarah Notorious, Arwen Apathy, Adam Catastrophe, Vomit, Scientist, etc.

Example of earning a stage name: Matt Chaos causes chaos wherever he goes; he deserves the name "Matt Chaos"

Stage Names 

Fake names used by many actors and musicians alike (though not all of them) to at least offer them some sort of privacy. There are other reasons that one might change their name (such as their real name being embarrassing, too mundane, too long, or nearly impossible to pronounce) but this is the usual reason.

There are many actors with stage names. To name a few:

-Harry Belafonte (Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.)

-Richard E. Grant (Richard Grant Esterhuysen)

-Marty Balin (Martyn Jerel Buchwald)

-Lou Gehrig (Heinrich Ludwig Gehrig)

-Anne Rice (Howard Allen Frances O'Brien)

-Alan Alda (Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo)

-Tim Allen (Timothy Alan Dick)

-Buddy Holly (Charles Hardin Holley)

-Boris Karloff (William Henry Pratt)

-Trey Parker (Randolph Severn Parker III)

stagenaming 

Referring to a person by a name they made up instead of their real birth name, especially when referring to them by this new name is meant to give legitimacy to the idea that the person is no longer who/what they actually are. For example, if a person is male but wants others to think of him as a female, he might change his name to Caitlyn, and demand to be called Caitlyn, demonizing anyone who calls him by his actual name. He wants you to stagename him. If you do not, he will say that you are "deadnaming" him, a term used to manipulate people into feeling guilty for being honest.

Bruce said "Hey, stop calling me Bruce! Call me Caitlyn, to show that you fully agree with the idea that I'm a woman. Do it or else you are not a good friend. Just accept me as being anything I claim to be!"
His honest friend said "But that would be stagenaming you, and it would make it seem like I agree that you are a woman. You are not a woman, so forcing me to call you by your stage name is forcing me to lie. Forcing me to lie is not something a good friend would do. Just accept me as being honest!"
