Donā€™t know whether it matters, but I just realized that the first choice in my last list, #173, is usually spelled with and ā€œyā€ in English: Ramzan Kadyrov instead of Kadirov. It seems I keep on doing this, sorry for the additional work! ---

No problem. At this point itā€™s a unique pick so it would be easy to keep different spellings together. There were three ways Rosalynn Carterā€™s first name was spelled. Shannen Doherty has two. And Liza Minnelli has varying numbers of nā€™s and lā€™s in her surname. ---

Nobody wants to have their unique picks copied, I guess. A feeling I can relate to, from both sides simultaneously. ---

> [@Baker](#): > > A lot of folks wait until the last minute to post. I donā€™t normally wait this long, but I was curious to see who everyone else was picking to either a) cherry pick some from their lists, or b) keep mine secret so nobody stole some goodies. But now I think about it, both those seem a bit petty. So, having said that, hereā€™s my list. I mixed it up a lot this time, took a lot of mainstays out\* and added in a bunch of new names. \*_who I bet will all die in January just to spite me_ Quentin Blake Bryan Brown Ruth Buzzi Billy Connolly Phil Collins Shannen Doherty Richard Gere Rhod Gilbert Kamahl Miriam Margolyes Ian McShane Kate Micucci Cliff Richard BACKUPS Rita Moreno George Wendt John Williams ---
