Cute quiz. You should change Marilyn Manson since that's his stage name and he's named after her. You can replace it with like Vos Savant or Quayle.

@sproutcm: I switched it to Quayle, I'm not familiar with Vos Savant. I would have switched it to Marilyn Munster, except Eddie is already in the quiz. Don't know why I'm thinking Munsters.

The problem with Quayle/Monroe, is James works for both (Dan was his middle name).

Isn't Eddie Munster a stage name also? Eddie Arcaro is the first I thought of to fit the bill.

The Patterson/Madison one stumped me for a while. If it were Patterson/Franco I would have gotten it quick. Didn't think dead presidents.

Since some of these are fictional characters, don't know why you would have to change Marilyn Manson.

Looking at the statistics page, I doubt I'm the only one that entered "George" for the fourth clue.

No idea who the Kates are, but Dallas has an NFL/sportswriter with the same last name (which DOESN'T work here, thank you very much....) Yeah, the Bush clue took me four shots.

The good thing about this quiz is that with some answers you can always CLAIM you knew it by the other one than you really did. "Oh, no, not the porn star, never heard of her, I was thinking about this Bhutanese composer all of the time".

I got "Lou," which I see was the hardest one, because I guessed Lou Costello before I put in Elvis. Perhaps I'm showing my age.

So there are 33 pairs of names, meaning 66 people in total on the quiz. 64 famous real people and...Scarlet O'Hara and Eddie Munster? Am I missing something? The inclusion of two fictional characters seems really random to me.

To be honest, I only thought Billy Madison because I know someone named Billy Patterson. He's very far from famous haha.

If it had been Bale instead of Dior, I may have gotten that one. Isn't he a bit more well known than Dior?

there's so many NFL-related names, rivers, o'hara, nicks, beck, patterson, monroe, wayne, white, roberts, newman, jackson, bush, smith, davis, rogers (rodgers), shepard (lito sheppard), theres probably even more

Ozmar, Atom Ant is a cartoon character. This quiz is referring to the British New Wave musician, Adam Ant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Ant).

I'm not saying it should be changed, but I feel bad getting Kate, because Kate Middleton doesn't want to be a celebrity and Kate Gosselin doesn't deserve to be one.
