Imagine the names of British prime ministers were styled in the same way as monarchs (i.e. first names only), how many of these "royal" prime ministers can you name?
Yep - my favourite example is that there are three James’s, and yet the only PM who was actually known by that name (James Callaghan) isn’t one of them!
The description says "styled in the same way as monarchs (i.e. first names only)"
However we don't have Queen Alexandrina (it's Victoria) or Kings Albert (Edward VII and George VI). They picked a middle name instead as their regnal name.
Either the description needs changing to remove the idea that we're doing the same thing as monarchs here, or the answer for Truss should be Liz, rather than Mary (as one of many examples) as she chose that name to rule by. I know Liz is a type in, but still.
I see what you mean, but the quiz title does clearly say ‘First Names of UK Prime Ministers’ after all. And as with Liz/Mary, the many middle names that PMs were known by to the public are accepted as answers as well as their first names, so hopefully there shouldn’t be any confusion.
Good quiz. You might want to accept 'Teresa' and 'Kier' as type-ins as they are popular alternative spellings. Also 'Frederik' works as a type-in but only for 'Frederick I'

I was surprised by what appeared. I was especially surprised to read that Boris Johnson's first name is actually "Alexander"!
