The Academy Award winner chose her stage name as an homage to her favorite Spice Girl.
Born Emily Jean Stone in 1988, the actor said in 2017 that she was compelled to choose a different moniker as a teen. “My real name is Emily Stone, but when I started acting, that name was already taken by another actress, so I had to come up with a different one.” “For a 16-year-old, picking a new name is an interesting prospect.” But “Emma” wasn't her first choice.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon from 2018, Stone said that “Growing up, I was super blonde … I wanted to be called Emma because of Baby Spice. 'And guess what? Now I am,” Stone said. It's unclear if in the years since that interview, she's grown less into the Spice Girls or more into her “J” era, but her desire to reclaim “Emily” seems to be ever-growing.
