Carmen Electra Legally Adopts Stage Name

The actress and model officially changes her name from Tara Leigh Patrick to Carmen Electra, marking a new beginning.

Carmen Electra, formerly known as Tara Leigh Patrick, has officially changed her name to her famous stage name.
The name change was legally granted about two months after Electra filed the request, with no objections to the proposal.
Prince, the late music icon, originally gave Electra the moniker in the early '90s when she auditioned for an all-girl group he was assembling.
Electra credits Prince with not only giving her the name but also believing in her talent, providing her with confidence and a career.
The name change signifies a fresh start for Electra, who has embraced the name Carmen Electra in both her professional and personal life.
