It is standard practice for entertainers to take on names more in keeping with the persona they want to project to their fans. Thus, rap star Christopher Wallace adopted the more menacing stage name "The Notorious B.I.G."
Raoul Walsh wanted to give his young star a more "dashing" name, that of American general Anthony Wayne. Because "Anthony" didn't sound "American" enough, they changed it to "John."
