Irritating last name.

It's hard to believe it could possibly even be a last name, I mean.. CORNISH? Seriously?? That's not a name. It's not even a word. At best it's a lame offshoot of a word. It's like how you would describe something close to corn if you were at a loss for words. Every time I see her last name, unlike every other actress, I can't put a face to it or a filmography...I just find myself annoyed at her last name.

I know it sounds stupid but it really is holding her back.

You, my dear, are obviously a hideously ignorant person to know nothing of Cornwall nor it's people, the Cornish.

She's still breath-takingly beautiful.

Whatever makes the OP feel better about himself, I guess.

I stand by my point. Not that anything is lost in learning about Cornwall which actually appears quite pretty but it's still a dumb last name even when you take that into account. Anyways, I'm sure you found Cornwall in some nasty search engine query during a moment of self-gratification. I'm sure people in Cornwall can't name all the states in the US that make up New England and frankly I wouldn't consider them ignorant for that.

Anyways, still, who has a last name like that? I hope that in a couple hundred years people don't have last names like "Zenon Squarestater", as a matter in fact, I'm sure if CORNISH people knew there was an actress walking around with the last name Cornish who was barely associated with the country they'd be disappointed, bemused.

I graciously not even mentioned the fact that she is Austrailian with a British ancestry...you know what that means! She was conceived by crooks.

Basically, she's shaming a people who don't deserve it by having that ridiculous name. Quit rationalizing it.

Hmm, how do you feel about the name Nigel Mellish?

Wow - after reading Cat's post - I wow - I give up, the internet wins.

Remember, don't believe everything you read on the Internet - that's how World War I got started.
