16. Was born with a different name
Ringo Starr was born Richard Starkey and adopted his stage name in 1959.
That seems a bit nitpicky to me. He still had "Paul McCartney" as his name, he just decided to go by his middle name instead of his first. In contrast, Ringo Starr's birth name was completely different from the name he is famous for. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll leave it as is.
Love that song! :)
My favorite Beatles song though is probably "Let It Be"!
