@jespah,
right, it was "smothered" not "destroyed" (that's the one I referred to earlier but I was going from [faulty] memory)

The parents wanted to name their baby after a musical term "con dolcezza" (literally, with sweetness), but either they or the registry office clerk couldn't spell, so the "c" was replaced with "e" - Condoleezza. For some reason similar misspellings abound within some groups - see "Oprah", presumably intended to be "opera", and countless others.

@High Seas,
There are strong feelings about it, particularly among blacks: http://mobile.salon.com/mwt/feature/2008/08/25/creative_black_names/index.html

...Bill Cosby a few years back ranted at the NAACP about blacks "with names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that crap and all of them are in jail."

My understanding is she was supposed to be named Orpah (it's Biblical).
