42. Tina Fey

As we're seeing frequently the further we get into this list, sometimes people start off with the basics of a great name when they're born, and just have to adapt it a little bit to make it work for them. That was the case for '30 Rock' and 'Saturday Night Live' star Tina Fey.

Elizabeth Stamatina Fey is the true full name of this actress, and so all she's done is drop the first name and shorten the second name. We actually feel like that's a bit of a loss. We've never encountered a 'Stamatina' before and it's a shame to waste a name so unusual. She could have been the very first one to achieve fame, and there might be babies called 'Stamatina' all over America by now if she'd stuck with it! Oh well. She's made it to the big time regardless.
