Because he was becoming famous at the same time as the monkeys and they had a singer called Davey Jones, so David Bowie changed his name from David Jones to make it easier for everyone not to get confused.
Because when he got his passport to travel to America the worker said Nesta was a girls name so he changed around Nest and Robert. When he starting singing his manager would put different names like Bob Martel and Bobby Martel and it soon became Bob Marley.
His name wasn't Robert Nesta Marley, originally he was Nesta Robert Marley and it was later changed because a Jamaican passport official thought that he would be taken more seriously in life if with a name like Bob
Actually, Bob Dylan changed his name because his last name Zimmerman is a Jewish name and during those times being Jewish was frowned upon.
He legally changed his name from Robert Allen Zimmerman to Robert Dylan on August 2, 1962.
his manager thought it was more.......different. it was his stage name but people/friends called him that too.
Bobs name was origionally Nesta Robert Marley but when he got his passport made the the man who filled in the forms insisted that nesta was a girls name so then the name was changed
Sometime around 1959-1960, during his freshman year in college, he began introducing himself as Bob Dylan.
To not get everyone confuse.
