His real name IS Richard Starkey.
Born July 7, 1940
His friends called him Ringo because he wore lots of rings, and he liked the cowboy character in a John Wayne movie.
He was married to Maureen Cox, and now married to Barbara Bach.

what is Ringo Starr's real real name...? (its not Starkey)Richard Starkey, MBE
what is his b-day?(born July 7, 1940),
why is his name Ringo?During this time, he got the nickname Ringo, because of the rings he wore, and because it sounded "cowboyish", and the last name Starr so that his drum solos could be billed as "Starr Time".
who did he marry?Starr married Maureen Cox in 1965
The couple divorced in 1975, and in 1981 Starr married actress Barbara Bach
who gave him the name Ringo? Like the other Beatles, young Ritchie also eventually became caught up in Liverpool's Skiffle craze. After starting his own group with Eddie Miles called The Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group in 1957, he joined The Raving Texans in 1959, a quartet which played while Rory Storm sang. During this time, he got the nickname Ringo, because of the rings he wore, and because it sounded "cowboyish", and the last name Starr so that his drum solos could be billed as "Starr Time".
Ringo first met the Beatles in Hamburg in October 1960 while there performing with what had become Rory Storm and The Hurricanes. Ringo joined the Beatles on August 18, 1962. Rory Storm was magnanimous about the theft of his drummer, but Pete Best fans were upset, holding vigils outside Pete's house and rioting at the Cavern Club, shouting "Pete Best forever! Ringo never!" His health would cause him problems again later, he missed three quarters of the 1964 tour of Scandanavia, Holland, the Far East and Australia, to have his tonsils out.
