Franklin Pierce - I'm not sure that 2 is common, though.

Common is 2 or more with the same name, I guess. The quiz doesn't say "most" common, just common, so I think this is all of them.

A better name for the quiz might be: "First names shared by multiple U.S. Presidents". You should give bonus credit to "Thomas" -- Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Woodrow Wilson (his actual full name).

Really, really good idea, but you should show who has those names. If possible.

Shouldn't Grover Cleveland be here as he is always counted as two different Presidents?

Katiea, your problem with the third column might be that you didn't give it a heading on the "Game Info" page? You can put the data in on the Data Page, but it won't show up unless you have a heading. Also, not sure it needs it, but you can still change the title, just not the link.

Good time limit, by the way. I didn't get Franklin because I kept thinking "Benjamin Franklin Pierce" until too late. Doh!

I agree with TimeandTide - Thomas should at least be a bonus answer. Also worth noting is that Coolidge's first name was "John," so there are arguably five Johns.

This list needs more Ulysses. Because whie there has only been one historically, there should be more based solely on coolness.

George W and George H W Bush are not Sr. and Jr. - they have different names.

We've had a Millard, Barack, Lyndon, Rutherford, Warren, Woodrow (which is weird because his real name is Thomas but he's "not on the list") and yet we have never had a Robert, Stephen, Joseph, or Michael.

Actually, we did have a Stephen. That was Grover Cleveland's real first name.

Grover should be a bonus answer. @ DougButcher: came close to a Robert

You'll have to add Dwight when Dwight K. Schrute joins Eisnhower as the other 'Dwight' president. It could happen.

Grover should be a bonus answer, since he technically was president twice.

We need another President named Rutherford.
