I did a little more research and Veronica, Dove's best friend revealed that Dove's name change actually isn't a secret http://veronicaraexx.tumblr.com/post/75831446416/you-pretending-not-to-know-chloe-hosterman-makes-it

But I still don't understand how the name "Chloe Hosterman" didn't depict who she was.....I think she has some type of disgruntled past that she wanted to get away from, I dunno.

She also says in an interivew with JJJ that her parents named her Dove because they loved Picasso and he named his daughter Paloma which means dove in Spanish. She's still lying, her parents didn't name her that.... http://www.justjaredjr.com/2013/03/16/dove-cameron-talks-cloud-9-with-jjj-exclusive/
