The names in the six polls thus far all came from the Top Ten lists supplied by Dopers.
Here’s the list of every name mentioned so far along with the poll(s) (if any) where they appeared for voting’s sake.
If you know of additional names to add to the list please do so in this thread.
My next post will be the list of those yet to appear in a poll. Whether some of them make it to another poll – for completeness sake – can be discussed here as well.
