Marina officially drops "and the Diamonds" from her name

[Dadaga 271]

Mezz I thought she was in band and I listen to her 

 

Tbh it's her fault  why would you make you name "and sth" she should have named herself Marina Diamond or sth now her name feels like it's missing something

I think that's better I guess  I was listening to the radio a couple of years ago and the DJ literally said "You just listened to Marina FEATURING the diamonds"

Marina is so basic

She should just keep the original name

Florence and the Machine is a solo artist? 

I have to agree with you about the name trend because it's ridiculous.  

No it's a band, but it's the same, "girl name + something". In that case it works, for solo artists it's just weird because of course you would think it's a band.

Isn't your own point moot then? Not to mention, the original name of Florence and The Machine is much longer, more ridiculous and actually featured two female names.

Not to mention, I really wouldn't consider it a trend. I don't see like multiple people doing this.

How ? I mentioned it because it was the first mainstream example from the last years, then others followed but they were not bands.

How many people have really done it though?

You only have two examples. Two does not a trend make. Especially when said two were at least a year apart. 

Plus also, there have been bands before Florence who did something similar I'm pretty sure.

Honestly everything here is just similarities and coincidences. You're entire premise has to rely on Marina being inspired by Florence when we know that probably didn't happen. And I doubt that Christine person was inspired by either Florence or Marina who have both become cult bands.

She should just call herself Marina Diamandis. 

[Pop Music 20,522]

I love this choice. She is joining the Cher and Beyonce levels of divadom and iconic status  

[FrankGutz 9,529]

Marina and the diamonds >>>> Marina

Marina alone screams flop, her full name was beautiful tbh

[RainingOnMe 7,184]

Ahh I love her! I'll be going to the show and meeting her backstage as well as some of my online best friends!
