Orlando

There is a Virginia Wolfe (sp?) novel called Orlando.

Orlando Pizzolato (born 30 July 1958) is a retired long-distance runner from Italy. He represented his native country in the men's marathon at the 1988 Summer Olympics, finishing in 16th place (2:15:20). His biggest success was twice winning the New York City Marathon (1984 and 1985), and the silver medal in the men's marathon at the 1986 European Championships in Stuttgart, West Germany.

Two Renaissance composers have the name Orlando - Orlando Gibbons and Orlando di Lasso. Gibbons was a leading composer and organist in late Tudor and early Jacobean England, and Orlando di Lasso (also known as Roland de Lassus, Orlande de Lassus, Orlandus Lassus, and many other variants of that) was from the Spanish Netherlands and was a master of the Franco-Flemish school of polyphonic choral music.

Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Bloom is an English actor. After having his breakthrough as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he rose to fame by further appearing in epic fantasy, historical epic, and fantasy adventure films. His other roles include Legolas in The Hobbit trilogy, Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Paris in Troy, and Balian de Ibelin in Kingdom of Heaven.

Orlando Hernández Pedroso, nicknamed "El Duque", is a Cuban right-handed former professional baseball pitcher. His greatest success came as a New York Yankees starter during that team's run of World Series championships in 1998, 1999, and 2000. He also won a championship in 2005 with the Chicago White Sox. He is the half-brother of pitcher Liván Hernández.

Orlando Haddick (or Sheep with Red Hat) is a secondary character in the Japanese video game "Catherine" by Atlus.
He definitely fits the laid-back nature that seems to come with the name.

Marcos Orlando Letelier del Solar (April 13, 1932 – September 21, 1976) was a Chilean economist, Socialist politician and diplomat during the presidency of Salvador Allende.

Two epic poems, the "Orlando Innamorato" (Orlando in love) and the "Orlando Furioso" (furious Orlando), the first written by Matteo Maria Boiardo and the second from Ludovico Ariosto are centred mostly on the character of Orlando, knight of Charlemagne. In the Orlando Innamorato, Orlando falls in love with the beautiful Angelica and starts going after her, and in the Orlando Furioso, he becomes crazy after he discovers she loves another man.

Orlando Brown (born 1987 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor and musician.

I find it intresting that Orlando means "famous land" and Orlando is a famous city.

There is a character in the graphic novel 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' named Orlando. S/he (Orlando is a transsexual) is a mixture of Virginia Woolf's Orlando and Orlando the knight of Charlemagne.

This is also the last name of the Prime Minister of Italy during World War I, Vittorio Orlando. He was also one of the "Big Four" (along with Woodrow Wilson for the US, David Lloyd George for Great Britain, and Georges Clemenceau for France).

A famous bearer on That's so Raven is Eddie Thomas, but his real name is Orlando Brown!

Two famous bearers are Major League Baseball players Orlando Palmero and Orlando Cabrera.

Other famous bearers of this name are Orlando Brown (Eddie from That's So Raven) and Orlando Jones (The Time Machine).

The main character in Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando bears this name. Orlando is a boy in the beginning of the book, but changes his gender a few times during his life, going as Lady Orlando whenever s/he decides to be a woman.

Famous bearer: Actor Orlando Bloom (Legolas, "The Lord of the Rings").

The actor Orlando Bloom was named for the great English composer Orlando Gibbons. It is the name of a famous Italian Renaissance epic poem called "Orlando Furioso" on which Handel wrote an opera that is still in the repertoire.
