8. Jay-Z

Jay-Z took his pseudonym from the Brooklyn J/Z subway line he took growing up in New York. Then again, the name Shawn Corey Carter didn’t exactly have a rapper’s ring to it. Coolest of all, he legally changed his name to Shawn Knowles-Carter when he married wife Beyonce, as the Knowles’ don’t have any sons to carry on the family name. Must be crazy in love.
