The film portrays 20th Century-Fox executive Ben Lyon giving Norma Jeane her knew name Marilyn Monroe. In reality arriving at the name happened only after two other choices were rejected, and from a collaboration between the two of them. Lyon first suggested Carole Lind as her stage name, although she readily disliked it. Following her idol Jean Harlow, who choose her mother's maiden name for her stage surname, Norma Jeane suggested Monroe her mother Glady's maiden name. Originally Jean Monroe was chosen for her stage name but it was Lyon who then suggested she consider Marilyn. Lyon chose that name for Norma Jeane reminded him of famed 1920's Broadway star Marilyn Miller. At first Norma Jeane rejected Marilyn but Lyon told her that not only was the name alliterative but that the double MM's in her name would be good luck and thus she agreed to Marilyn Monroe.
