	'Dwight David Eisenhower'? 'Orson Scott Card'? 'Andrew Lloyd Webber'? Maybe there should be a few alternates in here too - good quiz though!

	@Shay: Good suggestions, I've added them. Thanks

	Mark David Chapman, Robert Todd Lincoln; Edgar "Allan" Poe; if you're going to take multiples for other middle names, you might want to condense "Paul."

	David Lloyd George.

	Mark David Chapman, Robert Todd Lincoln, David Lloyd George added. "Allan" corrected, "Pauls," "Todds," & "Lloyds" condensed. Thanks

	You can take David Lloyd George back out; his first name was "David" and his last name was "Lloyd George". (It'd be like saying that Martin Van Buren's middle name is "Van".) You misspelled "Milhous", you misspelled "Andersen", and you simply have zero chance of catching every famous person whose middle name is David, Paul (John Paul Stevens?), or Scott (Kristin Scott Thomas?). A reasonable idea for a quiz, badly executed.

	^What Tahnan said. (I know that can't be the first time I've used that sentence.) Slipkid, you've made a ton of great quizzes; this one has an interesting concept, but it is far from a great quiz. Here's one more for you: John Paul Jones. (And, for a much more obscure one, actor and former guitar player for the Roots, Martin Luther McCoy.)

	I tried Frank Lloyd Wright and Mary Todd Lincoln - Do I have to put in both names? Why not just have two spaces for these like you do for the Davids? Also Milhous is misspelled.

	Wow, a lot of tough love here on the History channel, good thing I have thick skin. I agree, sloppy execution. I think I've taken all the suggestions and hopefully it is much improved. If not, I am sure I'll hear (read) about it.

	bingobongo:	Nov 15th, 2010 at 16:37 GMT	2 points
	Good mix, but I would add William Lloyd Garrison to the Lloyds.

	Aaron_Kashtan:	Nov 15th, 2010 at 18:05 GMT	1 point
	Maybe add Johann Christian Bach, the son of Johann Sebastian Bach, who was a famous composer in his own right.

	It didn't accept "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi".

	A good idea for a quiz, but even with some of the alterations, quite a few weird choices. It switches between people whose middle names are always used (Edgar Allan Poe), with those whose middle initial only is used (George W Bush). And then there are some completely out of left field, whose middle names, though unique, are never heard of (Walt Disney?). There are enough famous people of all 3 varieties to go around, and in my humble opinion, a better quiz would choose one style and stick to it.
