NEITHER. Monroe with a gun to my head. Harlow makes me think of the word "whore" for no good reason. Monroe Winifred

The reason is that it resembles Harlot, except it has the "o" sound as in "ho." It also has the letters WHOR in it.

There is a good reason! Jean Harlow, all platinum-blonde and salacious, met British aristocrat Margot Asquith and pronounced her name mar-got. And without blinking, Margot Asquith corrected her: "The t is silent, as in Harlow", which has to be the most sophisticated put-down in Anglophone history.
