Stage Names

[CabSauv]

Jurisdiction

Ohio

As an artist. Let's say singer, for example. Is it illegal to have a stage name that is the exact name as a Saint? Let's say "Saint Catherine" or "Saint Elizabeth."

"Let's welcome Saint Catherine to the stage."

 

[army judge]

You can call yourself, Allah, God, Jesus, Satan, Pope of Song, Saint Bernard, Right Reverend of Rock, Holy Roller, Saint Studmuffin, Or anything else for that matter, singer, actor, mechanic, garbageman, or homeless dude; as long as your intent is not to defraud anyone.

I once knew a guy that changed his name every month.
He might be Rock, the Pig, then Boss, whatever he wanted.
Funny guy, too.

Not illegal.

The Pope might send you straight to Hell for it.

Though I've never heard any papal objection to Father Guido Sarducci.
