Ray Charles. Even though Charles was really his middle name.

Danny Tanner :lol:

Stevie Ray Vaughan (Blues guitarist/singer)

I named my son after him.

Wait, I guess this doesn't count, but I am seeing it as two first names for a first and middle name. Oh well. :lol:

Ben Franklin
Lee Harvey Oswald
David Keith
Keith David
Bruce Campbell

I read somewhere that most killers or people who commit crimes seem to have two "first" names.

Jesse James
Jesse James Hollywood
Lee Harvey Oswald
James Earl Ray

Who else????

George Harrison

John Lennon (Liam Gallagher, a member of the British group Oasis, named one of his children Lennon.)

Steve Irwin

Buddy Holly (well, maybe he doesn't count, because the real spelling was "Holley", which isn't the way you spell the name - well, I'll leave him in anyway.)

James Dean

Bruce Willis

Buddy Holly (well, maybe he doesn't count, because the real spelling was "Holley", which isn't the way you spell the name - well, I'll leave him in anyway.)

You'd be surprised how oddly some names are spelled these days. I know a kid and his name would normally be Aidan, but he spells it Aodhan. Then I know a girl named Katharyn, when that isn't the correct way to spell her name (it should be Catherine/Katherine/Kathryn). So for all I know, someone could actually spell Holly as Holley. :crazy:

Demetri Martin

Not stating my last name on this board, but I would fit into that category.

I read somewhere that most killers or people who commit crimes seem to have two "first" names.

Jesse James
Jesse James Hollywood
Lee Harvey Oswald
James Earl Ray

Who else????

John Wayne Gacey

Mark David Chapman

There you go, two more killers with two "first" names. :eek:

Let me add Gary Leon Ridgeway aka The Green River Killer

To be fair, though, I think that's done by the newsmedia, to differentiate them from innocent people with names like Mark Chapman, Lee Oswald, James Ray; etc. I don't think these people walk around before their infamous crimes known by their first and middle names.

Billy Joel.

Actress Melissa Joan Hart
Actor Anthony Michael Hall


Ok, here it goes, DON'T GIVE YOUR SON THE MIDDLE NAME WAYNE. Wayne is the most common middle name for murderers:

The Classic Middle Name

"Wayne" is the most popular middle name among a few of the most heinous murderers of our time, e.g., the clown John Wayne Gacy (who killed almost three dozen boys and young men in the late 1970s and buried most of them beneath the floorboards of his Des Plaines, Ill., home) and Elmer Wayne Henley (sentenced to six consecutive life terms in 1974 in Houston for his role, with ringleader Dean Allen Corll, in the murders of 27 young men).

Joe Elliott

lisa robin kelly i bet everybody here knew i was going to put her on the list

Charlie Daniels.
Eric Roberts.
Jack Alberston.
Bruce Lee.

This was once a catagory on "The $10,000 Pyramid."

One really funny ep: William Shatner playing against himself, for charity, and used for the opening, until they upped the ante to $20,000! First time I saw him being funny: "An iris! A lid! ---parts of an eye!" and he took so long that he used up his time and lost. And who was his celeb opponant?
Lee Meriweather! Or dear, I thought her name was Lee Meredith --so that doesn't count. But think --Meriweather is a first name--see Merriwether Lewis! Who is also a double first name!
As is Jerry Lewis
Joe Louis

Muhammed Ali
Joe Frasier
Steve Allen
Woody Allen
Steve Lawrence
Dick Clark

PETTICOAT JUNCTION! WOOO! WOOO!

And Diahanne Carroll ( Julia ) Robet Reed ( The Brady Bunch ) also.

And Mike Douglas
Michael Douglas
Kirk Douglas
Diana Douglas

Patty Duke
Harrison Ford --I bet somebody posted that --Ford can be a first name --like Ford Prefect of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
And that brings to mind the author --Douglas Adams!

Elton John
Billy Martin
Ricky Martin
Phyllis George
Betsy Ross

Cliff Richard (he's virtually unknown in America, but he's known by practically everyone in the UK. In the 1950s and 1960s, he was Britain's version of Elvis.)

John Lloyd (tennis player)

Eddie Murphy (I think Murphy can be used as a first name, can't it?)

Ron Jeremy ;)

Cliff Richard (he's virtually unknown in America, but he's known by practically everyone in the UK. In the 1950s and 1960s, he was Britain's version of Elvis.)
He sounds familiar. Did he have a big hit here in the 70s? It was a catchy song..."It's so funny that we don't talk anymore."

Ron Jeremy ;)
:rofl:

I read somewhere that most killers or people who commit crimes seem to have two "first" names.

Jesse James
Jesse James Hollywood
Lee Harvey Oswald
James Earl Ray

Who else????
Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald. There's five first names for you. :lol:

Ron Jeremy ;)
Brian, I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Yeah, right. ;)

Brian, I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Yeah, right. ;)


Everybody took all the more common names. :lol:

Cliff Richard is the reason Keith Richards was known as "Keith Richard" up until the late' 70s. He changed his last name to "Richard," hoping that he could cash in on some of Cliff Richard's name recognition.

Shawn Marion
Sasha Mitchell
James Avery
David Wesley
LeBron James

Matthew Perry
Candace Cameron

He sounds familiar. Did he have a big hit here in the 70s? It was a catchy song..."It's so funny that we don't talk anymore."

That's him. I think he had a couple of other songs that were successful in America, but for the most part, he's not known over there. He said he likes going to America, because nobody recognises him.

Oh, and:

Michael Jackson

Richard Dean Anderson

Andy Murray (a Scottish tennis player.)

He sounds familiar. Did he have a big hit here in the 70s? It was a catchy song..."It's so funny that we don't talk anymore."
Yep that's him. He also had the hit DEVIL WOMAN and a hit with Olivia Newton John called SUDDENLY. I love his music.
