    • 1942 September 5, Irving Wallace, “The Loves of Lana Turner”, in Liberty magazine:
      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, 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.
