Or Oprah?
Do you think Oprah's name helped her? I understand that her name was actually intended to be the biblical name Orpah, but was messed up somehow on her birth certificate. I suspect that many of these "ethnic" names are from similar results. Surely no one intended to name her child Anfernee or Ant'won. She had to have been shooting for Anthony and Antoine. And we have all heard the jokes about Lemongelo and Orangelo, etc. etc.
Orpah is an Old Testament name (Ruth's sister-in-law). Oprah's mother misspelled it when Oprah was born. That's the story that Oprah herself has told.
I once knew a child named Placenta. Honest. Her mother thought it sounded good.
The lesson here regarding names like Tiger and Condoleeza and Oprah is that excellence can overcome obstacles.
Wise parents don't generally name their kids Adolph or Elvis or Dracula or Delilah. Saddling a little kid with a burden is a shame.
