AI Overview

Yes, several early members of the Marilyn Manson band, formed in 1989, famously adopted stage names that combined the first name of a female sex symbol and the last name of a male serial killer.
Here are some notable examples:
Marilyn Manson: The eponymous lead singer's stage name combines actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.
Daisy Berkowitz: Guitarist Scott Putesky's name merges actress Daisy Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard and serial killer David Berkowitz, also known as the "Son of Sam".
Madonna Wayne Gacy: Keyboardist Stephen Bier's moniker combines singer Madonna and serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
Gidget Gein: Bassist Brad Stewart's stage name blends the fictional character Gidget and serial killer Ed Gein.
Sara Lee Lucas: Drummer Fred Streithorst Jr.'s name combines the Sara Lee baked goods company with serial killer Henry Lee Lucas.
Twiggy Ramirez: While not directly a combination of a female icon and serial killer, bassist Jeordie White's name was inspired by the famous model Twiggy and the surname of serial killer Richard Ramirez.
Ginger Fish: Drummer Kenneth Robert Wilson's stage name combines actress Ginger Rogers and serial killer Albert Fish.
This practice of combining seemingly disparate names contributed to the band's controversial and shocking image in the early years. The band later moved away from this naming convention.
