Tips

culture

Most likely refers to American R&B singer / actress Brandy Norwood (布兰迪·诺伍德). 布 ('cloth') and 兰 ('orchid') are stock characters for the syllables 'br-' and '-lan-'; 迪 ('enlighten') often closes -dy/-di names (cf. 肯尼迪 Kennedy, 朱迪 Judy). Note: 布兰迪 is NOT the alcoholic drink 'brandy' — that is 白兰地 (báilándì).
