I do not feel that talent is in a name. Obviously, there are names that are brands (Barrymore, Eastwood, etc.). However, the people behind the name make the symbolism.

Like Amanda, I think that it is a combination of the nature vs. nurture debate.

Hmmm....well, the dictionary def seemed to box talent in as something we are born with and I guess I had never really thought about it because I was ready to say something along a developed inclination .....good question, Bill....I'll be thinking on that one.

Hi Bill,

I think it is a combination of both.
