I'd say "Leif" would be a better answer than "Erikson" when searching for Leif Ericson. I had tried all kinds of things (Leif, Leifur, Leif the Lucky, Leif Eriksson...) before going for Erikson and getting it.

Heinie is not that obscure; she became a well known Hollywood actress. Most, if not all, of her roles, however, did include her skating.
