Emma Stone ‘would like to be’ called by her real name from now on: ‘That would be so nice’

Emma Stone admitted she “would like to be” addressed by her real name — Emily.
The “La La Land” star revealed she prefers her birth name over her stage name during an interview with the Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday.
“I would like to be Emily,” she said while sitting beside her “Curse” co-star Nathan Fielder.
Stone, 35, explained she originally decided to go by “Emma Stone” because another actress from SAG-AFTRA had already taken the name Emily Stone.
“Then I freaked out a couple of years ago. For some reason, I was like, ‘I can’t do it anymore. Just call me Emily,’” she continued.
The actress claimed that people she knows and works with call her by her given name.
“Nathan calls me Em, which is easier,” she added.
However, if a fan were to approach the “Easy A” star and acknowledge her as Emma, she wouldn’t correct them.
Several fans praised Stone for reverting back to her real name, with one writing on X, “Good for Emily Stone to ask fans to call her by her real name! Sad that her profession required a unique name.”
“I’m calling you emily from now on xxxx,” another wrote.
Ahead of her acting career, there was a time when Stone didn’t mind being called Emma out of her fascination for Spice Girls’ Emma Lee Bunton aka Baby Spice.
“Growing up, I was super blonde, and my real name is Emily, but I wanted to be called Emma because of Baby Spice and guess what? Now I am,” she said during an episode of “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon in 2018.
“It wasn’t necessarily because of her but yes, in second grade, did I go up to the teacher on the first day and ask her to call me Emma? Yes, I did,” the two-time Oscar winner added.
