Marilyn, by Larry McMurtry
Marilyn Monroe was originally named Norma Jeane Baker. She changed her name in the late 1940s.
It wasn't her idea (Norma Jeane Baker Mortenson), it was her studio's (Twentieth Century-Fox); they said her last name (Mortenson) was difficult to know how to pronounce, so she settled on her grandmother's maiden name, Monroe, but that was awkward with Norma Jeane so it was suggested that she be named after a 20s Broadway star who was called Marilyn- Thus, Marilyn Monroe was born.
