What is Ringo Starr's real name?

Why: I hope no parent actually named a child Ringo (though I bet it's been done since then).

Answer: Richard Starkey!
In 1959, he joined the Raving Texans, now adopting the stage name "Ringo Starr" because of the rings he wore and because it sounded "cowboyish," and his drum solos were billed as "Starr Time."

The More You Know: His son Zak Starkey has been drumming for The Who since 1994. He also played with Oasis from 2005-2008.
