I've just been reading a book on design theory that referenced ideas from Thomas Dollivar Church. Tried him for kicks and grins, but wasn't surprised when he wasn't accepted.
Ahh. Now I realize who that is. I knew her name was Nicole, but I didn't make the connection. Never knew her full name before. (I was a kid when the trials went on and knew nothing about pop culture.)
Shocked that Stevie Vaughn was guessed by so many people. A fairly obscure musician who never achieved a national much less an international audience until right before his death almost 30 years ago. Maybe I'm discounting him since I'm a Texan but I've never heard him on the radio outside of the state.
Disagree. I'm from California and was 13 years old when he died in 1990 and I remember it being big news. I knew lots of people who were extremely saddened by his death.
I was about to fuss that some of the female names were actually maiden names, not middle names, but I see you added quotation marks to "middle" so I guess that lets you off my pedantic hook. :)
I don't know about English speaking countries, or if it were a personal preference, but technically "Abdul" and "Jabbar" cannot go without one another, They aren't two words, according to origin of the name.
There are 99 names in the Arab/Islamic world that include "Abdul" and are treated as if they were a preposition and an adjective, some write Abdul as "Abdil" and others "Abdal".
"Abdul" cannot be a separate entity because in Arabic the suffix "-ul" means "of the".

example: Abdul-Jabbar literally means:
Abd: servant or worshiper
-ul: of the
Jabbar: All mighty
Abdul alone is: worshiper of the..... ????
