Fun quiz! There are several combinations that would work but aren't accepted and part of the fun was rethinking those. Fackwacker is right. You just have to figure out what name is accepted. I would love to see more quizzes like this.
Perry Mason, Perry Como, Perry Ellis, and I remember when the country humorist and preacher, Grady Nutt, named his son Perry so he could sign his name as P. Nutt if he chose to. I also know two men with the first name of Perry, so it's been around for a while as a given name.
It took me an age to work out what I was meant to do - tried drag & drop - oh dear - utterly failed of course - but once I got the hang of it, it was good fun!
1:59 left. No guesswork required. Start with unusual names like Agatha and Clive and by the time you get to your Peter, Paul and Mary you will have a good fighting chance.
Very difficult, due to all the possible choices that WEREN'T included - such as Nancy Grace, Ron Paul, etc., as other commenters have mentioned. Going thru the list I was surprised at how many alternative answers fit the category.
Fun, but much more difficult than the first quiz. As a non-American, this time I didn't know the majority of these people. Although there were several were I went "DUH" when I saw the answer, because I DID know them.
Lenny Bruce is one of the names I didn't know. The others were Dylan Thomas (who turns out is Welsh, pretty sure being American wouldn't help knowing him), Les Paul, and I wasn't sure about Loretta Lynn... at first I was thinking of the Chinese softcore adult film star... then remembered her name was Loretta Lee. I've heard of the country music singer but am not so familiar.
You're too young to remember Les Paul and Mary Ford. They were a singing duo in the '50s and early '60s until their famous divorce. Vaya con Dios is the only song I remember them singing. Lenny Bruce was a comedian from the early '60s who became more famous after being arrested under the obscenity laws. Check out the movie, "Lenny" with Dustin Hoffman starring as Lenny if you want to know more. (Valerie Perrine played Lenny's stripper wife and was supposedly better than Hoffman. I didn't see the movie.) Loretta Lynn was the subject of the movie, "Coal Miner's Daughter" starring Sissy Spacek. Loretta is considered royalty among country music fans.
@ander even I have heard of les paul ( while not haveing heard of half on this list) and I was born in the 80s.
I had to look it up to be certain, but the connection for knowing the name is, it is the name of one of the most famous guitar models, which is named after the musician.
According to Wikipedia, he's "an Australian author, critic, broadcaster, poet, translator and memoirist, best known for his autobiographical series Unreliable Memoirs, for his chat shows and documentaries on British television and for his prolific journalism."
more famous than diana ross? I dont think so, definitely not by last name. Princess Di(ana) maybe gets close. But if you would ask people, outside the UK, what diana's last name was 90% would not know the answer. And even given the name, diana spencer, most wouldnt know who was meant (and if they would get it, it would be because if you ask famous people with the first name diana, she wóuld be one of the first mentioned)
Fun quiz, but as others have pointed out there are many other combinations of these names that are famous people. I tried several of the above, as well as Tracy Lawrence.
Maybe it's just me, but this quiz could use a more descriptive set of instructions. I must've wasted a minute trying to figure out what type of answers I was supposed to be inputting.
Yup, I figured you needed to add either the surname or firstnames yourself, not that you need to use the grid for first AND last. There is nothing to indicate that. Way too vague, the idea is interesting though
It really isnt clear what the intention of this quiz is, it could use a better description. Like combine the names from the list to get the full names for famous people (sorry my english isnt 100%) . It really seemed one part was given and you would have to add the other part yourself
There are plenty of valid answers (Nancy Grace, John Oliver, James Charles, Ron Paul) that didn't work for no other reason than the quizmaster didn't have them in mind.
Ron Paul
Daniel day Lewis
If fictional characters could count Nancy Drew would be a great one as well.
A++++ Lenny BRuce

I had no idea what do do with this quiz and had to "give up" to see what you were looking for before taking it again.
(PS. if you do not know who John Oliver is, you are really missing out and need to look him up on Youtube. )
