Where did Lisa marie name came from??

[presley31]

Does anybody know the real reason why elvis chose Lisa marie?? I heard two different stories where the name came from, but l was wondering whats everyone thoughts about lisa's name. I don't really think elvis choose marie after anita, but l could be wrong.

[utmom2008]

I am not sure where Lisa came from, but it's been discussed back and forth many times as to Marie coming from Col. Parker's wife.

Hi utmom2008

I don't think that's true according to Marty Lacker he said the name came from a 4 Amigos song Ava Marie. Elvis just liked the name Lisa I believe.
According to Marty when discussing marriage and having children with Anita wood they were going to name there daughter Marie, Marty had a daughter named Marie before Elvis had a daughter so Elvis named his Lisa Marie.

I hope that helps you

Thanks....I had heard that as well. I always thought it a bit odd that they would name her after Col. Parker's wife.:supriced::lol::lol: Remember..they all said she would cheat at the game of Yahtzee.:lmfao::lmfao:

He Named Lm After The Colonels Wife.odd,but True

[cibetty]

I read this and I think this is true, I believe it:

"A few weeks before Priscilla gave birth, she and Elvis had to decide what to name their first child. The four boy names they'd chosen were Vernon, Aron, Thomas, and John. Elvis suggested Vernon after his father, but Priscilla was not crazy about the name. She then came up with Aron after, Elvis' middle name, and both agreed to have that as a standby. Thomas was for the colonel, and John was chosen because it was a strong name. In the end both Elvis and Priscilla decided on, John Baron Presley. Baron was a play on Elvis' and his stillborn brother's middle names, Aron and Garon. The three girl names they selected were, Gladys, Josephine, and Lisa. Glady's was Priscilla's choice in honor of Elvis' mother. Elvis felt bad that he could not include or honor his paternal grandmother Minnie Mae, but neither he nor Priscilla liked the name Minnie. Priscilla then came up with Josephine in honor of her step-father Joseph Beaulieu. In the end the Presley's decided on Lisa. Lisa Marie was the name chosen by Elvis and Anita Wood when they had discussed having a baby in the 1950's. When Priscilla gave birth to a girl Elvis decided to keep the name. The name Marie was rumored to have been in honor of Colenel Parker's wife, but that is not true. Marie was Anita's Woods middle name, and Elvis chose his daughter's middle name in honor of his love for her, as well as because he genuinely liked the name."

...And Marie's the name, of his latest flame...

[midnight]

I can`t imagine naming my child after one of my husbands x-girlfriends!!!

Most probably would agree with you...

This is the story I've always heard too.

Wonder what she thought about that once she found out :blush:

I can't imagine that either Kim.:P Of course...I really can't see Lisa being called Josephine either.;););)

Hi Col Jon Burrows

I am not 100% sure but I think Priscilla still doesnt' know.

[sonia93]

Elvis felt bad that he could not include or honor his paternal grandmother Minnie Mae.

They actually ended up honoring Minnie with the name Marie. According to babynames.com, they both mean "sea of bitterness".

:supriced: Especially since Pris went through a stage of having a tough time with Lisa because she looks so much like her dad. Now this just adds insult to injury.:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

[presley31]

I bet priscilla already knows since anita been saying this for many years.

[presley31]

poor Lisa ! :PThanks God she doesn't look like Anita !:lmfao:

I didn't think anita was that bad looking when she was with elvis.

[Unchained Melody]

I didn't think anita was that bad looking when she was with elvis.

No doubt about it, she was a looker ! ;)

[mistymorning]

No, of course Anita wasn't bad looking ! she was a cute , lovely girl . I was joking related utmom's post about Cilla's feeling finding out the reason for Lisa's name !What would Cilla's reaction if Lisa looled like Anita !:D

[ElvisPresleyUK]

i did one of those morph on anita and elvis and lets just say lisa looks nothing like elvis.

[SleepyJack]

Just makes you wonder how much Anita remained on Elvis` mind over the years?......But then again,knowing Elvis,I doubt if it was that straighforward......so I`ll just throw this in the mix and see what you think......Maybe at the time when Elvis and Anita were discussing baby names Elvis knew how much Gladys would have liked to have seen him settle with Anita and have children...her grandchildren...possibly they even discussed it....so maybe,just maybe when it came time for a name for his daughter he was,knowingly or otherwise,keeping a promise to Gladys?????........Yeah,I know...pretty "Out there"!!!

Somewhere in this link that you've sent , Cilla says to lisa that she shouldn't have said about her sex life in public ! had Lisa really talked about her sex life in public ?!!:supriced:

[presley31]

There been a couple things in interviews about Lisa discussing her sex life.


http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n8_v88/ai_17160262

something about her and micheal in the link above and there is another out there when she talks about being with woman.

[nyc]

She was on Howard Stern's show back in 2003 (when she was promoting her first album) and she talked about her sex life in detail.


I missed this little tidbit somewhere along the way. Where would I read about this time in P & LM's life?

In her interviews, Lisa's talked a lot about the fact that she and Priscilla didn't get along at all until recently. She's said that she spent a lot of time doing things just to scare or annoy her mother. For example, in her Rolling Stone interview, Lisa said that one of the reasons she did drugs as a teenager was to scare Priscilla. And in a Playboy interview, she said that Priscilla's disapproval of the relationship with Michael Jackson just made it that much more fun for her.

[ksimms2]

I am not sure where Lisa came from, but it's been discussed back and forth many times as to Marie coming from Col. Parker's wife.

Rosanne, I heard the same thing, actually I read it - I think in Priscilla's book about Marie being after Colonel's wife.

Sorry Brian, but Priscilla herself said this. Not sure about Lisa though.

[ksimms2]

He named her after his plane!

lol Joe! That was a good one!! I never heard the Anita Wood story so I always thought Marie was after The Colonel's wife....honestly I read Priscilla herself say that. So now I'm confused.

I'm not familiar with the song "Ava Marie". If it's the song that I think you are referring to it's called "Ava Maria"..which makes me wonder then why didn't they use the name MARIA??? I'm not so sure about ole Marty's tales.;);):P

Marty heard this from Elvis himself and he also knew Elvis liked the song
You are correct the name of the song is Ava Maria
Marty said besides it being Anita's middle name it was also Bonny Bunkley's middle name as well and if Priscilla knew that she would have balked at the name. Marty went on to say that he really didn't know Mrs. Parker well enough for him to name his child after her. He just liked the name Marie apparently

your entitled I was telling everyone what he said don't shoot the messenger.
I disagree with Marty on a couple of things but overall I think he's very informative and knowledgeable about Elvis. I think all the Memphis mafia guys knew Elvis longer and better that either Priscilla or Lisa. I'm sure that Elvis wasn't going to tell Priscilla that when he was with Anita and they were talking about having kids that they were going to name their daughter Marie and that Marie was the middle name of two of his ex-girlfriends.

I have doubts he named marie after anita. I think he really liked that name and it fit with lisa really well.
