`  : I came here to ask similar questions.  I've always assumed it was after the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, who spent a significant period in the United States and wrote his ``New World Symphony`` there.  But exactly why she would choose to honour the composer in this way is the question.  Did she have Bohemian ancestors, perhaps?   : The composer's name is pronounced ``Dvor-zhak`` (sort of), not very far removed from the ``vor-shack`` we have with actress Ann. Except hers drops the initial ``d`` sound.  How she and the studio could possibly expect the ordinary movie-going public to know not to sound out the ``D`` is simply beyond my comprehension.  Classical music lovers would probably have had less trouble with it, but as for the ordinary joe, forget it.    ♬  ♬  `
