What if Tina Fey had used a Different Part of her name ... and become 'Liz' or 'Stama' or 'Tammy'?

Tina Fey hosted the SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE season-finale, and did a sketch that portrayed 'her earlier days at SNL' (where they were trying to decide what part she could play on-screen after having been a leading writer for so long ...
(Oh wait ... I missed the first part, where they were explaining that it was another show she wrote ---but that's not the point--which I'll get-to in a couple paragraphs ... ).
She was also on a recent My Next Guest (needs no introduction) (starring David Letterman), where we 'learn' (if you've never been to her Wikipedia-page) that her full name is Elizabeth Stamatina Fey---'Stamatina' being an old Greek name (from her grandmother, I think).
For the longest time, I thought her name was 'Christina' (a name that's also commonly-shortened to 'Tina'). I wonder how history would've changed if she had gone with 'Stama' (or 'Stammy' etc.) ... you think maybe Sarah Palin would've won vice-president and gone on to be President?
After writing the Mean Girls musical for Broadway, Tina Fey decides she wants to star in it, too. #SNL #SNL43 Get more SNL: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night...

Personally, I think that her creativeness and popularity would have remained unscathed had she gone with a different moniker. I never knew she had a name other than Tina Fey though.
