I am reeling from discovering what Dido's is:

Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong

apparently. Assuming that isn't just a Celebdaq wind-up, has anybody got any better ones?

Cherilyn Sarkasion La Pierre (I think!)

No wonder she calls herself Dido

The Dido thing is true. I heard her on the radio once. I think she said her parents named her after some signposts they saw when her mum was pg. Really! They're total hippies, apparently. Her brother's got a strange name too, I think.

Her Life for Rent sold 2.4m copies or something ridiculous. Lot of depressed people out there. Has nice hair though.

Cassandra Jardine, the journalist who writes a lot of family articles has 4 or 5 kids, one called Dido. I thought it very unusual, but better than Dido's original name!
