Using synonyms, homonyms, antonyms or words that are somehow connected with the surname of a reasonably well-known person, try to guess who is meant. As you guess, add one (or more) of your own for the next player.

In guessing, quote the post so we don’t lose track of who’s been guessed.

Some to get it started:

Judy Wreath  
Tom Skeins  
Brad Quarry  
David Shovel  
Britney Javelins  
James Sienna  
David Athlete  
George Sapling  
Glenn Near  
Timothy Tops
