Who is the Most Famous Person Who Shares Your Initials...

Thank you for the nice welcome! Yes, I am new here although I’ve been lurking for some time. I’ve always liked this forum, so I decided to give it a try.

About my name: I’m Dutch and over here Antonia is quite a common name albeit a bit old fasioned. I was named after my paternal grandmother and one of my aunts is also an Antonia.
BTW, your username also sounds Dutch – stern means tern (the seabird) and vogel means bird – a ‘double bird bill’ so to speak :smiley:

(Back on topic) Algernon Blackwood.

I have a friend who’s a Frank Purcell Daniels, can anyone come up with one for him? :smiley:

Best I can come up with is Elizabeth Hurley. My nickname gives me the initials LH, which I’m drawing a complete blank on.

I don’t suppose I can get away with G_D, can I?

No, I’m not Jewish, in case that makes a difference…

David (Mark) Winfield, Hall of Fame Outfielder.

He has Fourteen Kids on Goofballs.

Linda Hamilton.
Lauryn Hill.
Lionel Hampton.

Lauren Hutton
Lauren Holly

The devil you say!

Antonia: Actually, I have no known Dutch ancestry, but I’m part German. I’m also a fan of women’s basketball, and one of my favorite players was Kate Starbird, so I Germanized her surname (stern meaning “star”, and vogel, as you mentioned, “bird”).

Edgar Degas

Ellen DeGeneres

If middle initials don’t count, probably Alex Rodriguez is the most famous.

Adrienne Cecile Rich and Archie Clyde Roller both have the full match, but all I know about their actual fame-levels is that they are notable enough to be on Wikipedia.

Theodor Seuss Geisel

Spider-Man is a hyphenate.

And speaking of Peter Parker, his boss at the Daily Bugle is J. Jonah Jameson.

I can’t believe I missed one of the most obvious ones:

Dick Clark!
