Okay, might sound bit of an odd question, but could I train under a different name?

Now your probably wondering why i'm asking, and probably thinking I have some dodgy past that I'm running from. I can assure you, the latter is not the case. The simply reason is my real name isn't that catchy or inspiring (at least IMHO) and over the years I've considered changing it legally. As I move forward with plans to become a PT, I'm thinking about the long term associated goals, such as building a 'brand' and again the name issue has come up in my mind.

This got me thinking, rather than legally changing my name, I was wondering whether it would be legal/moral to operate/train under a different name? Celebirties and music artisits do it all the time, i.e a stage name. Surely its no different?

Anyway, people's thoughts?
