Would Britney have been as famous if she had a different name?

[Kletus]

There is something special about the name BRITNEY SPEARS! Would she have been as famous if her name had been something else? Here are some sample names for her with the same initials. Would they have worked?:

 

1) Becky Smith

2) Breanna Slipp

3) Bailey Sturgis

4) Brooke Shanedra

 

What do you think? Would she have been as famous or popular with any different name?

even if she was called Ahebiechskdj Eldkficns she would have been successful

I don't think so. In my culture, a person's fate is connected with all sorts of factors, such as name, birth date and time, birth place, etc. I'm not into these kinds of stuff, but I do believe there's a reason why they exist.

I always found her name fascinating as well! 

There is something magical about it, it sounds so good, idk how to explain, in my language we say it's "zvučno", that would mean "soundy" or something, idk how to translate it to English😂

I would say the same with Marilyn Monroe, they are perfect you know? They stand out, make sense, and are cute in a way 

 

For example, Christina Aguilera is a cool name but never sounded so simple yet so effective like Britney's🤷🏼‍♂️

If she was born with an oddball name she would've been given a stage name.

Christina fans used to say this all the time lmaoooo you just unlocked a ridiculous memory. 

“If her name wasn’t perfect, she’d be nobody” like…. K

this is what I was gonna say  I might be too superstitious, but I do believe each one's name has a certain energy charge, and it's not only a matter of like the destiny or whatever, but even the fact that everyone says your name all the time. Or like, people that adopt a nickname and they're never called by their real name, or artists that get an artistic name, etc. Everything has an effect

When you watch the Star Search clip and the presenter says "Britney Speaaaars!" even back then it sounds like the name of a superstar, compared to the other contestants.

I think what Britney Spears has is that it somehow sounds good in almost every language. At least in Spanish it's a name that can be easily pronounced (even if some people give it the Spanish accent) and yeah, as you said, the phonetics of it, they just work.

Christina Aguilera, is a very Latin name, that's why she was so popular with her only album in Spanish, and the reason why everybody believed she was actually Latina. But I get how it doesn't work the same for English speakers.

Jennifer Lopez in the other hand, sounds tacky, because the combination of Jennifer, an English name, with Lopez, which is a very common Spanish last name, usually related with the poor, at least here in Mexico, it's just odd. We have this thing of like people that name their kids with something like Bryan, Kevin, Kimberly, Brittany, Jennifer, Wendy, etc but they have a very common Spanish last name like Pérez, López, González, Martínez, they're usually laughed at. But suddenly JLo just sounded cooler.

Marilyn Monroe was a made up stage name so it goes to say if Britney had an odd name she probably would have used a stage name much like Norma Jeane did

oh interesting. where you from?

[queenofhearts]

she'd be famous no matter what her name but to be honest the name BRITNEY SPEARS is pretty epic

“And now, Ladies, and Gentlemen. The undisputed princess of Pop, Margaret Spears!”

Nay-nay!!!

[Million Billion]

I just love the amount of endless themed combinations we can make with her name for every situation. 

Primeney, Circusney Vegasney Raccooney  and so on. 

It's like the perfect suffix god ever created. Like she was destined to be the biggest popstar of the century since she was born.

Y'all we only see her name as something magical because we KNOW this name, who she is and we heard it MILLION times. That's why it's so ''perfect''

[BanMeBoop]

Here she is the undisputed princess of pop, Becky Smith
