Yes; also, Grizzly Adams did have a beard.
At that, Ray Teal acted in more episodes of Bonanza than Canary did — you know, back when Newton Minow had things to say about looking at TV programming and seeing “a vast wasteland.”
Cockerell has been used. Apparently a name for a rooster.
Does Cocker work as in Cocker Spaniel? If so, then Joe Cocker.
If so, then — Brittany Murphy?
I wouldn’t have thought so, but since M-W has that as an entry, I’ll accept it.
Yes, same reason.
If M-W is the gatekeeper, then I guess we can count the guy who was Casper The Friendly Ghost before headlining FINAL DESTINATION: Devon Sawa!
If anyone ever asks why Enrico Fermi was working on the Manhattan Project in the United States rather than, y’know, plugging away at atom-splitting research in Fascist Italy, you may well answer that his homeland wasn’t exactly a welcoming place for Jews under Mussolini.
If you’re then asked whether you’re saying that Enrico Fermi was Jewish, you can explain that, no, he wasn’t, but his wife — Laura Capon Fermi — was.
Or football player Golden Tate? He played wide receiver so you could call him a retriever.
If we’re going that route I give you Raúl Labrador, congressman and attorney general of Idaho.
At that: Butch Otter, Congressman turned Governor of Idaho (after serving as Lieutenant Governor to Governor Phil Batt!)
Emily Swallow — The Armorer on The Mandalorian — did more than a dozen episodes of The Mentalist and more than a dozen episodes of SEAL Team, but a certain fandom is always going to think first of her memorable run as God’s sister on Supernatural.
Matthew Weiner famously created MAD MEN, and some fuss was made when he cast his son in a fairly prominent role, and, before long, plenty of people were talking about Marten Holden Weiner.
And you just don’t forget a name like that, is all.
Bunny Yeager–pin-up photographer to Bettie Page, and a model in her own right, as I recall.
That’s also a 6-6-6 name
We already have a Bunny. I hear he’s pretty Bad…
The sort of thing that’d intrigue William S. Burroughs!
And how about David Soul, who parlayed his STARSKY & HUTCH fame into a hit #1 single?
Looking for animals, not animas.
Again, if we allow Wales for Whales, why not Soul for Sole?
(Heck, just to continue the “guy who had a #1 hit in the ‘70s” theme: why not Barry Gibb?)
Oh, OK. Didn’t think of that.
I see in today’s news that 4-time Olympic gold medalist Sylvia Fowles is being inducted into the Hall of Fame tomorrow (which I guess puts her ahead, fame-wise, of 4-time Olympic gold medalist Eric Lemming).
