Carmen Electra, 51, files documents to legally change her name to the iconic stage alias she's used for more than 30 years


Carmen Electra has filed to legally change her name. The Baywatch icon, 51, was born as Tara Leigh Patrick, but has been using her stage name Carmen Electra for over 30 years.

The star — who was recently seen holding hands with Godsmack lead signer Sully Erna, 55 — filed the paperwork on December 29, 2023, ahead of the New Year, though it's unclear why she has decided to make the name change official now. 'I auditioned for an all girl group that he was putting together and he ended up signing me to his label Paisley Park,' she told The Yo Show in 2014, as per Yahoo Entertainment. Following the release of her record, Carmen continued on to have a successful career including a Playboy magazine cover, and numerous television and movie roles.
