When you look at this name written down, you don't get the full effect of it. You have to say it out loud to understand what parents Ving Rhames and Deborah Reed were aiming for. Get it yet? 'Rainbow Rhames.' That's clever and witty for five minutes, but probably not when you have to put up with it for your whole life. Reign Beau Rhames is nineteen years old, and we bet she's already heard every joke based on her name imaginable.
Rhames Sr. is a well-known Hollywood actor who's probably best known to a generation as Marsellus Wallace from Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction,' and his daughter was born the same year he married his second wife, Reed. Maybe he considered himself blessed with his new marriage, and so referenced a rainbow because they're traditionally associated with luck. In any event, the young woman has decided to roll with her moniker, using it as both an Instagram and Twitter handle.
