Don't forget also that the Screen Actor's Guild/Actors Equity require each actor/actress to have a unique stage name to avoid confusion; thus plain ol' Sarah Parker (aka Mrs. Matthew Broderick -- I don't think this style of address is even used today!
) had to choose 'Sarah Jessica Parker' to make her stage name unique.
Others with unique stage names:
Jennifer Jason Leigh (real name: Jennifer Leigh Morrow) -- the Jason honors a close friend of the family, the late actor Jason Robards.
Eric Braeden (real name: Hans Gudegast) -- You might be familiar witrh this name in the daytime soaps; if you ever catch an episode of the old TV series
The Rat Patrol you'll see him acting under his real name.
