Her birth name isn’t Reese, and it’s causing quite a stir online.

Why do celebrities change their names?

Celebrities often change their names for various reasons.

Some do it for better career prospects.

Others are forced due to union rules about name duplication.

Using middle names professionally.

Reese’s decision to use her middle name professionally is quite common in Hollywood.

Many actors choose names that are unique or more marketable.

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) has strict rules about name duplication.

If your name is already taken, you have to choose a new one.

This can lead to some creative and interesting name changes.

For Reese, using her middle name set her apart in the industry.
