Carmen Electra is now Carmen Electra.
The 51-year-old “Baywatch” star’s request to legally change her birth name, Tara Leigh Patrick, to her famous stage name within the eyes of the law has officially been granted, in line with court documents obtained Tuesday by TMZ.
The outlet was the primary to report that Electra filed for the name change on Dec. 29, 2023, because she wanted a fresh start in the brand new 12 months.
Electra told The The Yo Show in 2014 how Prince got here up with her iconic moniker.
“I auditioned for an all-girl group that he was putting together and he ended up signing me to his label Paisley Park,” she said. “After I danced for him he said, ‘You appear to be Electra. That must be your name.’”
“At first I believed it sounded kinda like a superhero kind of name, which actually it’s, so I used to be hesitant, however it just sorta grew on me and that’s it,” Electra added.
In 2022, the sex symbol joined OnlyFans to have “creative control of doing whatever I would like to do.”
“What I spotted is that OnlyFans is a protected place where you possibly can be your individual creator,” she told Fox News Digital.
She noted that she is her “own creative director, my very own stylist, my very own visionary.”
“You’re one-on-one with the fans, so that they can do requests, and I like it. It may be really, really fun,” the previous Playboy model explained.
“And I’ve had a blast creating photos, getting videos, and just allowing my fans to follow me wherever I am going on these journeys in my life. That’s exactly what I desired to do.”

She also revealed the surprising request she gets most from her loyal subscribers.
“It’s funny to me because I get a whole lot of requests for my feet, and it cracks me up,” she giggled. “People wish to see feet.”
“There’s just this wild obsession with feet. So, in fact. Yes, OK, great; do you desire to see my feet? I’ll just grab my phone,” Electra said.
