Gonna argue that Harpo isn't necessarily named after Oprah. (Unless I'm misunderstanding and his parents specifically said he was.) Harpo Marx is probably a more likely guess. I'm friends with a Harpo and we were all delighted to work out that his name was Oprah backwards and call him that sometimes- but I know it wasn't the inspiration for his name.

Wait a minute. Harpo Lea? Is said Harpo female? Oy vey.
