Here’s the backstory of how Fey’s first name evolved into the one we all know today.
Her mother’s Greek ancestry inspired her middle name, which would later inspire her alias.
In a conversation withThe Quad, Fey reflected on her name.
Fey’s certainly in good company with other celebrities who have changed their names.
Examples include Lea Michele, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, according toRadar.
But Fey was strategic about the shift, especially when it came time to enter the spotlight.
We think it’s safe to say that the entertainment industry definitely approved.
That is the character she played on “30 Rock,” which ran from 2006-2013.
In 2019, Fey was a guest speaker at Hamilton College’s Sacerdote Great Names series.
You know what they say life imitates art.
