Carmen Electra recently filed for a legal name change, sparking fans’ curiosity. A source recently explained the reason for the change, and it’s not as far-fetched as people assumed.
Electra decided to legally call herself “Carmen Electra,” which had been her stage name since she became famous. Even though fans only know her by that nickname of hers, she was still formally known by her birth name, Tara Leigh Patrick.
According TMZ, a source close to the actress said that Electra had been wanting to change her name for some time. There was no big event or consideration that pushed her over the edge. She just decided that the New Year was the perfect time for new beginnings.
The 51-year-old woman submitted her documents on December 29.
radaronline.com shared that Electra chose her stage name with the help of Prince. She auditioned to be a member of a female singing group he formed. She didn’t make the cut, but Prince surprised her with a phone call.
Prince renamed Carmen Electra
He Raspberry beret The singer offered him a song he was writing, but he insisted that if he accepted it he would start calling himself “Carmen Electra,” and so he did.
“I got a call from Prince saying I think you should be your own artist and not endorse anyone else. “I’m going to write you a song and if you like it you can record it,” he remembers him telling her. “The name of the song was carmen on top. My name is Tara, so she was confused. I loved the song. I loved it, but he said, ‘You’re not a Tara.’ You are not Tara. You are Carmen.’”
Electra allowed Prince to change her name after that call. She eventually took control of her clothes, hairstyles and music. She believes that he played an important role in her success.
Carmen Electra and Prince were romantically involved, but their relationship ended when Prince asked her to move from Los Angeles to be with him in Minnesota.
Although they were no longer together, Prince remained a major influence in her professional life. She also hired her as a dancer for her club in Los Angeles.
“I wasn’t his girlfriend anymore, but I was one of his girls,” he shared. “This was after we broke up.”
