What’s In A Name?
When I was born, I was supposed to have been named after my mother’s Aunt Marian, but when they wrote my name on the birth certificate, the last “a” looked like an “o,” so I was named Marion. My dad went to Globe and Miami, Arizona, to visit a friend who owned a fancy Western hotel. His friend said, “They’re filming a western here; John Wayne is in the dining room. Go say hi to him!” My dad introduced himself, then said, “We just had a baby girl, and we named her after you!” John Wayne said, “You named your daughter John?” My dad said, “We know your real name is Marion Morrison!”
