Zachary Levi was born Zachary Levi Pugh, and dropped his last name for his stage name, using his middle name instead, as he thought "Pugh" is too unusual-sounding. Florence, who is not related to Zachary, came to fame about a decade after he became a well-known actor, and retained her birth name. However, her brother, Toby Sebastian, also an actor, also dropped the surname Pugh and uses his first and middle name as his stage names, like Zachary.
