Journaling:
In 1936, the female first name of Marilyn had reached its peak in popularity, ranking #13 in the United States. Over the years, it became less and less popular. When I was born, the name had definitely taken a downturn. In 2018 it ranked as the 610th most popular girls name in the United States. It is English in origin, meaning "drop of the sea”.

I asked Mom who she named me after. She said that she just liked the name, Mary with the added twist of Lynn. I never cared for my name, but my DH loves it (good answer).

In grade school, I only recall one other classmate named Marilyn. Over the years, any Marilyn I encountered was old, like me. LOL!

Famous Marilyns:
Marilyn Monroe - an American actress & sex symbol
Marilyn Manson - singer from the rock band of the same name
Marilyn (the hill) - a type of mountain in the British Isles with a prominence above 150 m
Marilyn - the normal teenager in The Munsters
Marilyn Horne - an American opera singer
Marilyn Pauline Novak - birth name of American actress Kim Novak
1486 Marilyn - an asteroid


Not sure if I believe this...
From the Urban Dictionary

Definition of Marilyn - A very beautiful,
gorgeous, loyal woman, fun to be around.
Will always make you laugh.
She loves to be happy
and almost always is.
She believes in almost everything.
Doesn't judge others.
Marilyns are usually very slim with curves.
She is very confident & is proud of who she is.
Marilyns LOVE their name.

But yet, A Marilyn = a person who isn’t genuine and pretends to like someone but is truly just fake.

This is SUCH fun. I love the photo and all the journaling. You certainly found a lot of "facts" about the name. But I do not like that definition in your "but yet..."
