	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.

	Cool quiz! I got 4 or 5 right just by guessing popular names

	Great Quiz. Can't believe I missed Eddie Murphy

	barnztormre:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 18:36 GMT	11 points
	Yes, I admit it: my first instinct was Billy Madison.

	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.

	What does it say about me that the first thing I thought of when I saw "Slater" was "A.C."?

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

"Joe" could also work for Jordan/Jackson.

OutFOXed by 'Glenn'. Can't spell.

	Zha Zha was a great guess... really likely to be shared with someone else.

	thecassidy:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 20:28 GMT	1 point
	I tried "Lil" for Wayne…whoops.

	hodgetiger:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 20:28 GMT	-3 points
	Talking of Scarletts, recently saw a picture of Scarlett Pomers (who played little Naomi Wildman on Star Trek: Voyager, currently on 'Reba') Wow!

	good quiz. thank you

	ArtFever:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 20:49 GMT	2 points
	Looking at the statistics page, I doubt I'm the only one that entered "George" for the fourth clue.

	cheese7:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 21:15 GMT	-1 points
	COCOZZA!! sorry. i couldnt help myself

	Bobman1:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 21:22 GMT	1 point
	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.

	VAMPIREFAN:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 21:32 GMT	1 point
	I can't believe i missed Glenn Close...Air Force One, how stupid!

	Ulkomaalainen:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT	4 points
	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".

	Etep:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 21:52 GMT	5 points
	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.

	ianbob:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 22:10 GMT	-2 points
	Thought "George Bush," but that'd make it George Walters.

	JuliannasGaGa:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 22:22 GMT	8 points
	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.

	BDR22:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 22:44 GMT	2 points
	To be honest, I only thought Billy Madison because I know someone named Billy Patterson. He's very far from famous haha.

	goldenbuckeyes:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 23:47 GMT	-1 points
	Much better than I'd have thought, 23/33

	mustango:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 23:52 GMT	2 points
	Will Rogers? Roy Rogers? Fred Rogers? Ginger Rogers? Aaron Rogers? Arrrrgh!

	gvogt3:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 01:29 GMT	1 point
	Shouldn't the title of the quiz be: Can you name the 1st name that is shared by each pair of famous surnames?

	KerrieBee23:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 01:33 GMT	8 points
	I take it there's no one called Zsa Zsa Longoria?

	tvfan3:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 01:36 GMT	-3 points
	I'd take a minute off the time

	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

	tmxicon:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 04:21 GMT	3 points
	Oh, you just had to slip in the antonymous Christopher Reeve/Christopher Walken connection, didn't you? Classic.

	prockstar83:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 07:45 GMT	0 points
	Great reference to Pablo Neruda.

	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).

	jackmcc:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 12:58 GMT	5 points
	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.
