11. M.I.A.

Female rapper M.I.A. decided to let her real name of Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam go missing in action when she launched her career. On the other hand, if you say it real fast, it almost sounds sexy. In Sri Lanka, however, where the artist was born, her real name isn’t so weird at all. In fact, it’s akin to a name like Betty Smith or Kim Johnson.
