Christina Aguilera had to fight to keep her surname for her career. The 41-year-old pop star started her career in music back in the 1990s and explained that because her name is "not the easiest to pronounce" it has been "butchered a lot" but prefers not to think about the alternatives offered up to her by executives as a stage name.
She said: "Something that I really embody and understand is that, you know, this is a name that has been tried to be taken away from me on numerous occasions coming up in this business.
