Best Answer

Josephine Baker technically did not really change her name. Her original name was Freda McDonald. Josephine went by her middle name which was Josephine. Her last name changed when she married her second husband, Willie Baker. So that is why she is known as Josephine Baker. I'm doing a report on her in schools for Black History month, I know a bunch a bout her. Any other questions about her, ask me.
