What is Eminem's real name now? Eminem? Slim Shady? Marshall Mathers?
Is Eminem's name really Marshall Mathers or has he changed it to be Eminem or Slim Shady? If so, when did he change it legally/officially?
Also, was he actually born as Marshall Mathers, was that a nickname, or did he somehow get it changed to that at some point? What does Eminem prefer to be called anyway?
I know some of his CDs are labelled as such names: The Eminem Show, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Slim Shady LP, and Eminem Is Back. So, I was wondering what his real name happens to be!
Thank you!

Eminem's real name is actually Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Since we typically do not call people their middle names he is simply referred to as Marshall Mathers.
He has two stage names the currently goes by: Eminem and Slim Shady. He has never changed his birth-name to either of these.
He simply used the fact that his own initials are M.M. to create a stage name. Initially he took up the stage name as M&M, which later changed into the present spelling – "Eminem". He simply took the logo M&M and his birth initials and spelled them out to form an actual word, which is what he began going by. He was being referred to as Eminem by the age of 17.
When asked the significance of the nickname "Slim Shady" at the Hoboken Musical Festival in 2000; Marshal Mathers simply stated that: "Slim Shady sounded cool so I stuck with it."
His close friends tend to refer to him as "Em" or "Slim" -- shorter versions of his nicknames.
