Never heard of George Vancouver, but it was the only "V" city I could think of in the Pac Northwest. I learn something new everyday doing these quizzes.
Nathan and Jonathan are related but different names, the latter "Yonatan" in Hebrew and the former "Natan." They both come from the Hebrew root "to give."
He was born Temujin, but took the name Genghis upon his declaration of emperor, and gave the Khan name to his family. Meaning it's both a title AND his name.
This may be a reflection of my own biases and interests (because I only missed these two), but I'm surprised more people knew Ivanisevic and Norman than Zhukov. I've never heard of the golfer or tennis player before, but with all the history and WW2 buffs on the site (I thought), seems like Zhukov should be pretty well known. Most decorated officer in Soviet/Russian history.
Yeah. I was somewhat surprised by that as well. I expected Zhukov to be among the low answers, but to be so much lower than the president and tennis player is weird, i think.
But I dont think it would have been easy, there are roughly 8 billion people who fit that description, would be difficult to find all of their names...
Pacific america is the west coast and atlantic america is the east coast so "pacific northwest" actually just means west northwest
Answering the quiz: "Shakespeare in Love, 'GP', wtf, who's this"
