   • 1942 Irving Wallace, The Loves of Lana Turner, Liberty magazine, September 5, 1942:

     Mervyn LeRoy, the boyish cigar-smoking director who signed her, didn't like her name Julia. So she thought awhile and said, "What about Lana?" For no reason at all it became Lana - pronounced Lah-nah.

   • 2013 Matt Haig, The Humans, Canongate, ISBN 978 0 85786 878 7 page 832:

     I discovered that her full name was Margaret Lowell. I wasn't an expert on Earth names, but I still knew this was wildly inappropriate. She should have been called Lana Bellcurve or Ashley Brainsex or something.
