Stage Name Stories: Dusty Springfield

Born: Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien

What's in a Name: Let's say you start a group with your brother called the Springfields, he adopts the moniker Tom Springfield -- and you're Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien. Suffice to say it didn't take a lot of arm-twisting for Dusty -- a childhood nickname -- to change her surname as well.
