Witness protection program. Now you've exposed him.
I don't know this program, but Bill took this name long before he became famous, so security is not the reason.Quote

What did Reagan think of the reason for Bill's name change?
I've always heard he took the name after Jane Wyman, the actress. Reagan's former wife/girlfriend.

Bill has an answer for this question in this 2006 interview with the Guardian, which he did to promote the release of the Stone Alone anthology: [www.theguardian.com]
[...]
Interesting interview, because Bill admits at one point that it was indeed the fallout over the Mandy Smith affair that finally forced him to leave the band.

It wasn't simply his relationship with the band, though. It was his failing relationship with Mandy that led to his leaving the Stones. "I had to get my personal life in order. That was really necessary." He had made a complete mess of everything? "Yep, so I had to get rid of everything and turn over a new leaf and start again." Ultimately, he says, his relationship with Mandy forced him to grow up. And he went about the business of rebuilding his life with astonishing pragmatism. He approached an old girlfriend, Suzanne Accosta, said he was finally settling down and asked her to marry him. Perhaps, even more astonishingly, his third marriage has worked.

As his old colleagues get set to hit Australia on their world tour, former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman tells Simon Hattenstone the real reason why he left the band.
BILL Wyman is sitting alone in the corner of his restaurant, Sticky Fingers, patiently waiting, as you might expect. His hair is a weird shade of purply brown these days. He's skinny with no bum to speak of, there's a fag in his mouth, a pot of tea by his side and, of course, he's on time. Wyman was always known for his promptness.
