This page is a list of people who go by differing names professionally than in person or with close friends and family. This includes screennames but not aliases, former realnames, and nicknames/ variants of any name. Former stage names are acceptible to place here, tho.
This wiki (version) is in English, so the English names will be posted on one page, and the non-English ones in another.
