While changing their names before starting their career is common for celebrities, some of them took a big risk of losing their brand by switching their monikers at the height of their career.

AceShowbiz - Prince is not always the prince, apparently. Back in 1993, the iconic musician made headlines after he announced that he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol which was said to represent "love" amid an alleged dispute with his record label, Warner Bros. Records Inc.
It was revealed that "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" hitmaker made the decision to make it hard for the label to promote him. As his new name was hard to pronounce, Prince once again changed his moniker to The Artist Formerly Known As Prince. Thankfully, the singer switched back to Prince in 2000.
