Initials Game

You take the alphabet, and then a random sentence next to it, and then you have exactly 10 minutes to come up with the most names that match the initials. The names have to be “famous” names, meaning at least 50% of the people playing the game would know the name of that famous person without having to Google the name. For example, if you saw the initials DH you could write Deborah Harry or David Hasselhoff or Don Ho (or all three of those names) but probably not Donna Hicken nor Danial Hakimi, etc.

For this version, I picked the random sentence from above: “its taking longer than we thought”.

So, no cheating! Don’t look below to see what others have posted, no fair Googling initials, just list names off the top of your head!

Ready? Cut and paste the initials below into the reply, set your timer and you have ten minutes to come up with as many famous names as you can for each set of initials.
