In homage to the hilarious Peter Kay spoof (which appears to be the blueprint for this series of X-factor - we've had dead relatives, newspaper headlines, random rapping, mash-ups....), how about:-
edit: ^^^ Well she was actually named after Cher. If there was a girl on XF named Maddona, after Madonna, then I would think they'd have to get her a new stage name too. You can't use someone else's stage name as your own stage name, even if it is actually your name. Sucks for her but there's some pretty good suggestions in this thread!
Cher can't use her name as, well, her name because some old woman used it first? Really?
No she can't use it on it's own as Cher is already an established artist still active and holds tradmark over the name being used.
Cher Lloyd she could use but not Cher.
Like someone can't use Shakira or Madonna as a stage name due to copyright and tradmark purposes as they are established artist
But a Shakira Estevez or a Madonna Giovanni could use it coupled with their surname.

I love the bit saying she cant simply use "Cher" as its already in use! PMSL

They should go with C. Llo, or would J. Lo kick off!

I agree, look at the words "reportedly" and "apparently" in the story, which basically mean it's not true.
