According to the OP, in this post for instance, only R. Gaines and H. Reams fit, as the name together forms a grammtically correct sentence. Rivers does not.
“Mark May” works too (as the answer to the question, “Is Mark going?”, for example).
You’re right; I was editing and, because I didn’t go back to the beginning of the sentence, kind of glossed over that one.
Though technically fitting the OP, Mark May, in answer to your question, is ungrammatical. Mark Might might work.
Oh, and Junior Samples and Tommy Smothers.
Some of these seem rather :dubious:, but maybe I’m not reading them correctly.
Oh, very well then Miss Grundy ;).
“May Mark go to the party?”
No, he may not.
How about Guns/Roses member:
