I have always wondered why it is rarely reported that Miss Rudolph is actually singer Minnie Ripperton’s daughter…

Tina Feys name is really Elizabeth Stamatina Fey. To me she actually really looks like an Elizabeth or Stamatina, but not tina.

Zenobia was a Syrian Queen but its also Tina’s moms name. Tina’s parents are greek if i remember correctly. Or her mom is.

I always like the name Lorne. What kind of name is that?

maybe because the comedic actors get to let out their hysterics elsewhere, while the serious actors have no comedic relief! ha!

N, I’ve noticed that too. It seems to be the “serious” actors who name their kids strange names, while comedians like Steve Carell, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Will Ferrell (when you consider that his wife is Swedish), Adam Sandler (though Sunny is a little weird), Ray Romano, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Molly Shannon, Joan Cusack, Robin Williams, the ladies above, etc., all have children with very normal and/or old-fashioned names.

I’ve never noticed this before, but for being such funny people, they all have children with “get right down to business” names. With the exception of middle names, all are very old fashioned! Archie is the most out there, but it is still an old man name! I like it
