QUOTE
As you might imagine, budding pop star Waffa Binladin is having a hard time convincing people to look beyond her family name.

Yes, that Bin Laden. The 26-year-old lawyer — whose family changed the spelling of their last name several years ago — and who is the estranged niece of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, has been meeting with producers and managers in the United States and England over the past year in an attempt to launch a career as a pop singer. But, despite renouncing her Muslim past, distancing herself from her infamous uncle years ago and logging time on the English club scene, Binladin has yet to shake the stigma of her surname.

Do you think her name will affect her career (as in kill it or launch it)?

I think her name could kill her career.

A lot of people could continue associating her with her uncle even if they ARE estranged. If she really wanted to be successful, she should have changed her name before getting publicity.
