McCartney, followed by the religious huckster.
Paul the Apostle is definitely my first association.
My second is “Pol” - a friend who goes by Pollux (neither is his real name), but everyone shortens it. It’s complicated. :rolleyes:
Muad’Dib.
Mccartney
Paul Simon.
That guy in the Bible who used to be “Saul.”
Oddly enough, the second one I thought of was Paul Molitor. I have no idea why.
The obvious answer is McCarthy, but for wahtever reason, the first name that came to me was Paul Reiser. I am not even a fan of his and didn’t particular care for that show Mad About You (it was just OK, I guess).
Blast from the past.
McCartney
St. Paul
Then my Uncle Paul (who disappeared in a mysterious way)
Then Paul McCartney
Paul of Tarsus was my #2.
I was close to that one with Paul Rudd because that Yahoo! piece had his picture (and name) featured.
Other Pauls I can think of offhand without doing a Google hunt:
Paul Sorvino
Paul Robeson
Paul Horn
Paul Scofield
Paul Desmond
Les Paul
Paul Douglas
and I will stop my list because I just thought of Paul Finebaum and I fear that if I keep trying to think of others I might just drop dead!
McCartney, with an alien coming in a close 2nd.
The righteous Bible dude
The Apostle; maybe because that was his whole name. And then the Beetle.
The giant lumberjack with the dyed ox, obviously.
Like “Dave,” “Paul” makes me think of a movie first, not a person. The one with Simon Pegg, in this case.
the apostle
The Beatle.
