Rihanna
Not every celebrity attains the status where people exclusively refer to them by a single name. Icons like Madonna, Cher, and Rihanna achieved this recognition long ago. In Rihanna’s case, her second name became the focal point. While her original name, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, saw various uses in her career, her first name didn’t quite make the cut for widespread recognition.
Rihanna unmistakably adopted her second name as her moniker, but her surname is strategically leveraged for retail purposes. Both her beauty company and clothing line prominently feature the Fenty name, while Robyn remains noticeably absent from the brand identity.
