Kirk Douglas' real name was changed by his family to Isadore Demsky (to sound more Americanized) which he hated so changed it to Kirk Douglas in 1939.


Well I agree, Isadore Demsky sounds too Hollywood.

Bela is a quite common Hungarian name, I found out. There was a waitress at the Sizzler that 4e and I always go to, named Borbala. She was gorgeous, Hungarian, and had a brother named Bela.
