| − | Noname initially used the stage name "Noname Gypsy," which she chose as a teenager when she was transitioning from poetry to music, believing that "gypsies were very nomadic, just not about staying in one space for a long time" On March 18, 2016, she officially dropped the "Gypsy" half of the name after her cousin Ishmael Robinson informed her of its racial connotation. She announced her name change on [[Twitter]], claiming she was unaware of the negative connotations of the term "gypsy" and did not want to offend [[Romani people]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/noname/status/710921833855300864|title=Noname|date=March 18, 2016|publisher=Twitter|access-date=September 25, 2017}}{{dead link|date=January 2018|fix-attempted=yes|bot=MarkyBot}}</ref> In a 2016 interview with ''[[The Fader]]'', she explained her current stage name, following the change:<blockquote>I try to exist without binding myself to labels.
