Yes. I'm a fan of Leslie because his name called out to me.

The question.

Do you mean do their names determine how popular they will be? For example people see certain names in positive/negative connotations?

I don't think names have anything to do with housemate success, although I have noticed how many reality tv Danielle's end up being amazing.

Do you mean that how big the name is in the show business/entertainment industry, music industry, popular culture etc.

Meaning that Gary Busey is more popular by default (because of being a Oscar nominated actor and is therefore well known) than say David or Ricci? (who are reality "stars" i presume and therefore not as well known)

No I mean their given names, for example, would Leslie be just as popular if his name was Graham

I don't think they do. Otherwise Shanessa from BB8 would have won for having the best name ever.
