In his biography he tells he saw both Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson mentioned in the same news cast when he were young, that's how he got the name. It symbolizes that a praised person such as Marilyn Monroe and a hated criminal such as Charles Manson can get exactly the same attention. He continued the trend in the band to a beginning, then it faded away, with names of the other members too, by taking a famous actress or artist first name and the surname of a serial killer; Madonna Wayne Gacy, Ginger Fish, Twiggy Ramirez, Daisy Berkowitz etc. The past guitarist John 5, however, got his name because he was the fifth member to join Marilyn Manson.
Currently, only Manson and Ginger Fish are left in the band to have the old actress-serial killer naming.
