9. Stage Name
Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra is one heck of a name and understandably did not make a lot of sense for the actress to start her career on. As it turns out, for most of her life, she has rarely gone by her real name and in high school actually went by “Peggy” to friends and family. Once in Hollywood she chose the name Meg Ryan because Meg is a version of Margaret and Peggy, and Ryan was her grandmother’s maiden name.
