Why did rihanna name herself rihanna?

Answer 1

She didn't actually change her name. She decided to use her middle name as her stage name. Her real full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.

There was already a singer that goes by the name Robyn, who sings "Do You Know (What It Takes), "With Every Heartbeat" & "Who's that Girl'.

Answer 2

her name is robyn rihanna fenty she probably liked middle name.

1989, Billy Ray Cyrus was the one who suggested she used her middle name!

Rihanna is half African American due to her mother.

Rihanna is Barbadian. She was born in Saint Michael, Barbados.

• Name: Rihanna
• Birthdate: February 20, 1988
• Birthplace: St. Michael, Barbados

Update: Everyone born in Barbados is born in St. Michael. There are only two hospitals currently in use on the island. Both in St. Michael. So... just say Barbados. Forget "St. Michael".

She is from Barbados

If you mean how did she become famous, that's easy. She formed a group with a few other girls in her school Comberemere High, and when at home in Barbados, she was introduced to famous director Evan Rodgers who was holidaying there with his wife, so he listened to her that night, and he knew she was a star, and only a few hours later, had sent for Jay Z and they were performing in front of him, but Jay Z said that Rihanna had what it takes, so signed her up to Def Jam at 2am. Hope this helps :)

Rihanna went to Charles F. Broome Memorial School, a primary school in Barbados. And then Combermere School, where she performed a musical trio.

Rhianna became famous when she was bout 16-19 yrs old.

Answer 3

Like some celebrities, they like to keep their real name secret so they use a stage name.

Answer 4

The reason Lady Gaga doesn't use her real name is because her name is too long and Lady Gaga is a cool fake name so that is what she decided to use.
