A - Z Nama Asli para Celebritis Dunia

Sebelum lahir, orang tua kita sudah mempersiapkan nama. Jaman dahulu mungkin pemberian nama tidaklah serumit sekarang. Ada teman saya yang ayahnya bernama ‘Meja’, ada juga yang bernama ‘Tongkat’. Bukannya tidak menghormati nama-nama lucu ini, tapi hanya sekedar member gambaran bahwa nama orang-orang jaman sekarang tidaklah se-simpel nama generasi sebelumnya.

Tetangga saya member nama anaknya seperti tokoh-tokoh di sinetron. Di Mesir tempo hari ada bayi yang namanya ‘Facebook’.

Tapi bagi sebagian orang, nama yang diberikan sejak lahir dianggap kurang membawa hoki bagi karirnya. Beberapa (banyak malahan) mencari nama baru yang nantinya dipercaya bisa memberikan ketenaran. Logis juga, sih… masa jadi artis namanya ‘Tongkat’ ?

Cahaya Lentera: berbagi cerita menarik, fenomena, mitos, rekor dunia, serba serbi, hot info, kontroversi, penemuan baru, tehnologi dan kejadian aneh lainnya di sekitar kita.

Berikut ini adalah nama asli para celebrities dunia yang tercantum di akta kelahiran mereka, sebelum nama tenar yang mereka gunakan saat ini (thatsweird.net).
