I was going to change my name to Sophie Windsor, but then I decided not to. I prefer to go into the room just as Sophie Winkleman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Sophie's Choice' is actually the reason I became an actress.
My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself 'Cumberbatch.' I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, 'Why aren't you using your family name? It's a real attention-grabber.' I worried, 'How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?' But then I decided that's not my problem.
I really didn't want to have my name on the center, because it just seemed like it was too much of a personal thing.
My name is Constance Marie, and I am anti-princess.
I never liked the name Eldred. Since nobody knew me in New York, I just changed to my middle name.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
Not long ago someone said I should shorten it to just Emma. But I really, really love my name. From as far as I can remember, my parents have taught me to be really proud of my name.
I used the name Jane Roe because I didn't want my personal name to be involved in it.
I was fortunate enough to meet Sophie Dahl. And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.
My full name's Jonathan Kimble, but my parents didn't want to call me either. So for a while, I went by Kim, which is a name for a girl or a Korean person.
