holding 3 DQs

Correct.
John Glenn.
Arthur Gordon Pym (The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket).
DQ1: Originally from literature?

IRT Gucci, the company may be owned by a French corporation, but according to Wikipedia Signor Gucci started out in Florence in the 1920s, and the company is still headquartered there. I think Armani makes men’s clothing, but I know that Gucci makes purses and other leather goods. So as far as I’m concerned, Gucci is a legitimate answer to the question as written.
