TrashMagiq 55,096 Posted January 23, 2022 I wonder if she ever regrets changing her name to just MARINA during her little minimalism era cause Marina and The Diamonds was such an iconic name & I feel like she would get talked about more if she kept it since "Marina and The Diamonds" was such a big part of tumblr teen culture. When I look up 'Marina' on twitter I see very few tweets about her like mostly I just see porn..Β 21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I think that she deems her last name "too serious" and she doesn't like it that much. I don't know if it's somewhat related to her family relationships or whatever, but I still remember how she used to sign autographs even during EH eraΒ with "Marina Diamonds" instead of "Diamandis". That's also how she was credited on some early TFJ work. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the ocean 67,616 Posted January 24, 2022 tbh she might as well have named her tour backing band "the diamonds" just to roll with it even though we obviously know what the diamonds really meant 3 Quote Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
