What's up with her name. Is it real?

The Black Dahlia" was a nickname given to Elizabeth Short[2][3][4] (July 29, 1924 – c. January 15, 1947), an American woman who was the victim of a much-publicized murder in 1947. Short acquired the moniker posthumously from newspapers in the habit of nicknaming crimes they found particularly lurid. The "Black Dahlia" nickname may have been derived from a film noir murder mystery, The Blue Dahlia, released in April 1946. Short was found mutilated, her body sliced in half at the waist, on January 15, 1947, in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California. Short's unsolved murder has been the source of widespread speculation, leading to many suspects, along with several books, television, and film adaptations of the story. Short's murder is one of the oldest unsolved murder cases in Los Angeles history.[1]

Her real name is Sophia D'elia. Her father is Judge Anthony V. D'elia

Calling herself Sophia Black-D'elia is a stage name, and yes she's crazy enough to be courting the phonetic connection with Black Dahlia to try and get people to remember her
