Lady Gaga at her Best Trivia Quiz

Answer: From a Queen song

So where did the name "Lady Gaga" really come from?. When Lady Gaga was being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, she told Oprah that her name was inspired by the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga," released in 1984. She added that her friend and producer Rob Fusar at that time called her by the nickname of "Gaga"; Rob was the first one that called her by this nickname. She also told Oprah that some people called her "Lady," which seemed strange to her.

In 2010, while she was being interviewed by "Flybe Magazine," Lady Gaga said her name was inspired by a song she played while Rob Fusari was with her. "He said, 'God, that's so queen! You're so Radio GaGa,' and from this moment he started to call me "Gaga" when I was working in the studio." She went on to say one day while she was talking to Rob, she said, "How about we add 'Lady' to Gaga, as Gaga on its own sounds so strange, so Lady Gaga was born!"
