Emma Stone has expressed her desire to reclaim her birth name as she shared her preference to be addressed by her real name.

While conversing with The Hollywood Reporter, alongside The Curse costar Nathan Fielder, the Poor Things star shared that she preferred to call her given name, Emily.

When questioned by THR about how she would react if a fan referred to her by her birth name instead of Emma, she said, “No. That would be so nice. I would like to be Emily."

Stone added, "people that I work with" call her by birth name, "when I get to know them," and explained that she made her stage name "Emma Stone" because Emily Stone "was taken" by another actress.

The La La Land star also mentioned, "Then I freaked out a couple of years ago," adding, "For some reason, I was like, 'I can’t do it anymore. Just call me Emily.' Nathan calls me Em, which is easier."

Back in November 2018, Stone revealed that she coincidentally desired to be called Emma from a young age. since she was a small girl, her favourite Spice Girl was Baby Spice, also known as Emma Bunton.

“Growing up, I was super blonde, and my real name is Emily, but I wanted to be called Emma because of Baby Spice and guess what? Now I am,” the Poor Things star said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Stone continued, “It wasn’t necessarily because of her but yes, in second grade, did I go up to the teacher on the first day and ask her to call me Emma? Yes I did."

"And was it because of Emma Lee Bunton from the Spice Girls? Yes it was," she added.
