I think that the answer is no. I love Dido, but for a girl, in a lot of languages, a name ending in -O has a handicap to grow up in popularity (as Clio or Io, e.g.).

And, besides that, the popularity of a singer/actor/artist is directely proportional (sometimes) to the popularity of his/her name (I needed to google to know who is Dido the singer Embarassed

, but I'm not "à la page" in music). And sometimes the personage's popularity is not related with more popularity of his/her name (Madonna, for example).
