Somehow, Whoopi Goldberg's name just seems to fit.  Can you even picture her as a Caryn?  Apparently her mother thought it worked when she named her newborn Caryn Johnson.  It seems Meg Ryan's mom got a little carried away when she named her daughter Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra.  Perhaps that's why Meg is just a Meg today.
