Sterling did it at the age of 25, and cited the difficulty his friends had pronouncing Tokowitz and the belief he would benefit financially from the name Sterling.
V. Stiviano petitioned to have her name changed in 2010 because she hadn't "yet been fully accepted because of my race" among considerations. She described herself as of "mixed" race on the audiotaped conversation with Sterling during which he made racist comments that led to his being banned from the NBA.
