Real names of these people?

1. Norma Jean Baker = Marilyn Monroe

7. Karol Woytila = Johannes Paulus II

9. Iosef Dhugasvili = Josef Stalin
(I guess. If so, is the middle name Vladimirovich?)

fbaezer, you are so smart, but you have a few gaps in your genius :wink:

To Fbaezer: the middle name of Stalin was Vissarionovitch.

2. Samuel Lenghorn Clemens= Mark Twain

ssteissd
Very good, steissd, but what about the others?

---BBB

3 Hari Bhai Jari Wala etc
4 Enrique José Martin Morales
6 Georgios Krylacos Panayiotou
8 William Jefferson Blythe

Can tell teh others right off the bat.

But the quiz is misleading, it's not always "real name" vs. "stage name". Clinton IS a real name, his mother remarried. It's kinda like calling a maiden name a "real name".

Who the hell are numbers 2, 3 and 6?

Craven
BINGO! Craven: you almost hit a home run. ---BBB

Correct guesses so far:

1. NJB => MM - Norma Jean Baker - Marilyn Monroe

2. SLC => MT - Samuel Langhorne Clemens - Mark Twain

3. HBJW (or HBJ, HBZW,HBZ) => SK - Hari Bhai Jari Wala (or Hari Bhai Jariwala or Hari Bhai zari Wala or Haribhai Zariwala etc etc) - Sanjeev Kumar

4. EJMM => RM - Enrique Jose Martin Morales - Ricky Martin

5. FB=> FM -

6. GKP => GM - Georgios Krylacos Panayiotou - George Miachel

7. KW => PJP II - Karol Wojtyla - Pope John Paul II

8. WJB - WJC - William Jefferson Blythe - William Jefferson Clinton

9. IVD => JS - Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvilli - Joseph Stalin

10. RB => AK -

Doh, just realized the quiz asked about birth name, so my earlier quibble I retract.

Farrokh Bulsara = Freddy Mercury

Noticed another error. I emant to say I CAN'T tell the others off the bat, not CAN...

fbaezer
fbaezer, way to go!

Only one left to identify, number 10.

BBB

Since you've all done so well except for #10, I will provide the answer so you can sleep well tonight.

10. VB => AK - Rajeev Bhatia - Akshay Kumar
