Celebrities With The Same Name

The original Survivor winner shares a name with the TV veteran of shows like Battlestar Galactica. 

The Broadcast News star, who shares a name with the iconic inventor, has also been writing smart comedies (like Defending Your Life) since the late 1970s.

To help differentiate between them, both actors opted to embrace their middle initial. The Melrose Place star became Vanessa A. Williams, while the Desperate Housewives vixen now goes by Vanessa L. Williams. 

The Seinfeld funnyman probably wasn't laughing when his name became synonymous with Britney Spears' shotgun wedding in 2004.

Luckily for The Kids in The Hall star, few people know Carrot Top's real name. 

Amazed the So You Think You Can Dance choreographer has yet to set one of her pieces to the pop star's music!

Screen Actors Guild rules prevents two performers from sharing the same name, leading the Batman star to adopt a stage name.

When the former Destiny's Child member sings Say My Name, the two-time Oscar nominee might also turn around.

Inspired by CBS' new hit show, Same Name, we culled together a list of stars who share a main moniker. Like Kate Hudson and Katy Perry.

Although it might not look like it on the surface, the singer was actually born Katheryn (Kate) Hudson.
