Actress Largo Woodruff, who appeared in several films in the 1980s, was born in New Jersey in 1955.
She was the second of three children. Her older sister was named Allegro, and her younger brother was named Lento.
All three siblings were named after musical tempos by their father Wallace Woodruff, a professional musician and music teacher. The three names/tempos are Italian words that indicate the speed at which a particular piece of music should be played:
Allegro means “cheerful” (i.e., play briskly)
Largo means “broad” (i.e., play slowly)
Lento means “slow”
Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was also named with music in mind. Her name is based on the musical term con dolcezza, meaning “with sweetness” in Italian.

Back when sea voyages were the only way to reach distant lands, many babies ended up being born aboard ships. And many of these ship-born babies were given names that reflected the circumstances of their birth. A good portion of them, for instance, were named after the ships upon which they were born.
I’ve gathered hundreds of these ship-inspired baby names over the years, and I think it’s finally time to post what I’ve found. You’ll find the first half of the list below. (Here’s the second half.)
