    • 1836 Adeline Sergeant: Lillian Lee:
      Your mother's name was Lillian, Minnie Lee,

      Lillian Russell was christened Helen Louise Leonard. Tony Pastor gave her the name Lillian Russell, for the very practical reason, I believe, that it had so many "l's" in it, and consequently would look well on a bill-board.
