Artistic names, corporate images and multilingual naming in Elite2You
As Elite2You operates as an international agency in several languages, the names of the directors and staff in each website version are adapted to the language environment of the country, in line with the rules followed by international communication and global brands.
For example, just as Pope Francis is Ferenc Pápa in Hungarian, Pope Francis in English and Papa Franjo in Croatian, Elite2You uses the language forms of the country in question in all language interfaces. The aim is to make communication understandable, natural and culturally appropriate for all visitors –
regardless of whether they are reading our pages in Hungarian, English, Croatian or any other language.
AI-based design images on Elite2You
The people featured on the Elite2You website are real associates and partners, but for privacy and cybersecurity reasons, the portraits displayed are artificially generated facial images based on the authorised photos of the individuals concerned.
The aim of the decision is to protect real people against automatic identification by modern facial recognition and image search systems. These technologies are now capable of retrieving real people from social networking sites or public databases, so AI-based facial recognition protects the security and privacy of the team, while presentation remains based on real-world data.
AI images are therefore a protective tool, not a substitute for the real person, but a secure way to display them in public space. This solution allows the site to be presented in a coherent, professional and elegant way, while maintaining full privacy protection.
This solution is specific to Elite2You’s corporate site, where the agency’s organisational, educational and international operations are presented. On the Elite2Fans and Models2You sites, on the other hand, the focus is on the authentic presentation of real models and content creators, and therefore real photos are used, as personal authenticity and creative expression are an essential part of the content.
All three platforms belong to the same system, but each is built for a different purpose:
- Elite2You presents the agency and its philosophy,
- Elite2Fans is a platform for ready-made content and subscriptions,
- and Models2You is the platform for showcasing the international model network and community.
The use of stage names in the creative industries
Our models, instructors and collaborators are often referred to by their stage names or character names, as has long been the practice in the art, film and digital content creation industry. The use of the artist name is not to deceive but is part of creative expression, branding and international communication.
Some examples are known and are not exhaustive:
- Marilyn Monroe – original name Norma Jeane Mortenson
- Audrey Hepburn – original name Audrey Kathleen Ruston
- Tony Curtis – original name Bernard Schwartz
- Gábor Zsazsa – original name Gábor Sári
- Meg Ryan – original name Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra
- Brad Pitt – original name William Bradley Pitt
- Winona Ryder – original name Winona Laura Horowitz
- Tom Cruise – original name Thomas Cruise Mapother IV
- Vin Diesel – original name Mark Sinclair
- Natalie Portman – real name Neta-Lee Hershlag
- Michael Keaton – original name Michael John Douglas
(the name change was necessary due to the rules of the Screen Actors Guild, the US actors’ union,
as there was already a member named Michael Douglas)
As the examples above show, the use of the artist name is widespread and professionally accepted worldwide. Many people choose a more memorable, internationally more resonant or more distinctive name that helps market positioning and communication consistency. An artist of Greek, Russian or any other nationality may choose to use a more easily pronounceable, globally sound name from a marketing and communication point of view – this is not a deception but a natural branding tool.
The meaning and rationale for multilingual naming
Many common names in the world have national and international forms, used according to local linguistic traditions. Just as, for example, Pope Francis, King Charles III or Princess Catherine’s name appears in English, Italian or Hungarian in the press in different forms, multilingual companies adapt their names to their international audience.
The Elite2You system of name forms is designed for international understanding and unified communication.
Adapting a Hungarian name to an English or Croatian language environment is not a deception, but a cultural and marketing communication fit, used by the world’s leading brands and institutions. This is why it may happen that some of our colleagues’ names appear in different forms in different language versions of the website – referring to the same real person in each case.
Final thought – the principle of security and unity
Behind the Elite2You identity is a conscious system that serves both professionalism and personal security. Real images but also artist names appear on the models -protecting the privacy of the creators while keeping the content authentic and real. Staff, on the other hand, show real names but AI-based branding images because agency operations are transparent, but privacy is a fundamental principle there too.
This dual system – real images with artist names and real names with illustrated portraits – strikes a conscious balance between privacy and image. It allows the public to understand exactly who is doing what, without leaving anyone’s personal data or social profiles unprotected.
Elite2You thus preserves brand integrity, colleague safety and the personal dignity of the models.
