She had another Facebook page before calling herself "Tara Wills".
When she changed her name from Steph to Tara, another Facebook page was created and the following is a note explaining to some fans why did she change her stage name. As many of you may know, her real name is Stephanie or Steph, but she needed another name, not so overused and more catchy. Once she was talking to a very closed friend of her and she was complaining about the overuseness of Stephanie, she said: "I can't stand when I go somewhere, meet some new people and they always tell me (as if it was so great): Oh! my cousin, grandma, mother, aunt, classmate, sister or whoever's name is Stephanie too, it makes my name so boring and useless for marketing, what should I do if I am trying to become a singer then? Her friend replied telling her to put also her last name, but then both agreed that "Steph Wills" was not bad but not catchy enough for an artist's name, then she asked Steph: "Would you like to change your first name or what?" :) And ofcourse it was necessary, so they started looking for a new name that suits to her and things that she like the most. As Steph has been a big fan of Celtic culture since late childhood, they reduced the searching to Celtic names. Stiophánai? (Gaelic version of Stephanie) --- the problem with this name is the pronunciation, how will non-Celtic fan people pronounce this name? Then Kayleigh, like Marillion's song (prog-rock Scottish band) "I like this name" she said, but still I think it doesn't suit much to Wills and it is still hard for some people to pronounce, we need something easier. Then Tara... Tara Wills easy, catchy and easy to remember, is it overused? Kind of, but there are not singers with "Tara Wills" as there names but too many Stephanie or Steph____ everywhere. It sounds nice and seems to go with her lat name, but what does Tara mean? Tara has different meanings in different cultures: Indian Meaning: The name Tara is an Indian baby name. In Indian the meaning of the name Tara is: A hill where the kings met. American Meaning: The name Tara is an American baby name. In American the meaning of the name Tara is:From the crag of a tower.

SoulUrge Number: 2 People with this name have a deep inner desire for love and companionship, and want to work with others to achieve peace and harmony.
