It’s a small change, but it makes all the difference. Pat Mara sounds like a middle-aged mother in Boston, not a celebrity superstar and actress. Admittedly Rooney is kind of a weird name, but Hollywood loves weird. It practically thrives on it! Rooney’s much cooler than Patricia, and suits her down to the ground.

Fair play to Portman for changing her last name, it’s not exactly one you’d want even if you weren’t a movie star. If you say it quickly, it sounds like you’re saying something else! A portmanteau if you will… Anyway, it’s funny how just a slight change in your name can change people’s perceptions of you.
