Born Mary Kate Genevieve Baker, she acquired the name Kage at 14. Her sister has confirmed by email that 'Yes, Kage changed her name officially to Kage Baker, around 1972 - two years after she graduated high school. Her name was Mary Kate Genevieve Baker on her birth certificate, and she disliked it. She ran "Kate" and "Genevieve" together to get "Kage" during high school, and used that the rest of her life.'
