Really? Wow.
Again, another discussion about my name: "Why don't you use a last name?" (Because people STILL think Jean is my last name) - WHY?? In Hollywood of all places? Really?!
Why would I need to, with such a "famous" name?
So, my answer....
Profoundly, who in (especially) Hollywood would ever think "Jean" was a last name when attached to Norma? *that's always been a real head scratcher* I could see the mistake maybe if a person was under say, 40 and never heard of a. Marilyn Monroe b. Pretty Miss Norma Jean c. Norma Jean (the band) ... Meh.
Besides, isn't it only salesmen that go around telling people their first and last name when they introduce themselves? "Hey uh ... How are ya? John Jean, Hollywood Memorabilia, *shakes your hand* nice to meet ya." "Your last name is Jean? Wow, that's unusual, always thought of that as a middle name, like Norma Jean...Ya know...Norma Jean as in Marilyn Monroe?" "Yeah, yeah, I get that all the time."
See what I did there? Bwwwaaaahahahahahahah
