Emma Stone is not really called Emma Stone.
The two-time Oscar-winning actress has acknowledged that she would like to use her real name again: Emily.
In a recent interview with THR, Stone has acknowledged that he continues to use his real name with people around him. “When I meet them, the people I work with call me Emily,” she says. She has also revealed that if a fan addresses her as Emily, she won’t correct them. “No. It would be great. I would like to be Emily.”
Stone had to change his stage name due to a rule of thumb. SAG-AFTRA, the Hollywood Actors Guild. To be a member of the organization, you cannot call yourself the same as an existing member. Stone therefore changed Emily to Emma because Emma Lee Bunton It’s his favorite Spice Girl.

As Stone continues:
It’s because my name was taken. Then I went crazy a couple of years ago. For some reason, I thought, ‘I can’t go on like this anymore. Call me Emily
