Name Change Game

Post by ROBERT M. » Fri May 08, 2009 11:11 pm

Thought this might be a good idea for a new game :) give us the name a famous person is "now" known by, plus also give the persons original name. Actors, musicians, politicians or anyone can be allowed in the game :)

I will start off quite naturally with Matt Monro original name - Terence Parsons :)

I thought it was Marion Morrison?

Cary Grant - Archie Leach
Shakin' Stevens - Michael Barrett (but not the one who presented "Nationwide" for those in the UK with long memories)
