Well done, that was quick! Fangaga you are next with the letter N.
Wow. Good guess, fanganga! I wouldn’t have come up with him.
You see why I used the footnote? 
Should I have answered it any differently, or without the footnote?
So, in this case there was a last name for him, though I didn’t know that until after I selected him and read up on him.
If a person is selected with only one name, like Charlemagne:
- How should one answer if the question “Last name starts with C?” is asked
- How should one answer if the question “First name starts with C?” is asked
If Hal 9000 were selected, how should one respond to “Male?”
Oh, you answered that one correctly. The footnote was elegant.
Regarding Charlemagne or others like him, the answer would be:
“Only name starts with C.”
Regarding Hal 9000, the answer would have to be “Not Male” since it is, after all, neuter.
Empress Matilda, aka Maude (the top job in question being Ruler of England).
Gregor Mendel, but close enough.
Roger McGuinn (quoting from Coe’s song “Willie, Waylon and Me”).
For the first question, in cases like this I say “American, for certain values of ‘American.’”
For the second, Prof P’s “Only name is…” has been the usual answer in this case. (Though I might shorten that to just “My name begins…”)
Thanks,
