This is usually fun. Can you list the first or last name of a person (or nickname) and that person is already well known? Sports, politics, movies, music etc.
I could list 30 but I'll do a couple.

I think it's Sarah Connor?Quote: winmonkeyspit3Sarah? Enlighten me.
But seriously no one uses just "Sarah", it's too common a name.

Almost all people on his list are well known.
Anyway, this is too long a game to play, unless you're stuck on a month-long Alaskan vacation.
I'll just illustrate with some of the names that haven't been mentioned yet... just starting with A.
Abrams
Abraham
Adelson
Affleck
Aivazovsky
Akebono
Albert
Alfonso
Alexander
Amarillo
Antonio
Armani
Atkinson
Aurelius
Azimov
Perhaps Adelson might not be well known outside this forum. Amarillo too, and perhaps Akebono, but the rest I don't see anyone not recognizing.

Rush

I'll argue against Rush. If you mention him in conversation without a contextual reference, many people will not know exactly who you mean. For example, If I say "I was just listening to Rush on the radio", you have no idea whether it was the political blowhard or the excellent Canadian Rock trio of Geddy, Alex, and Neil.

It's funny, there are names like "Tupac" that I have no reason to know at all, yet it's creeped into the collective awareness.
