Historical names ~~ It's a trivia game, let's play!
Jan 5, 2002 07:56 PM
Wanna try this? I will type the name of a famous person. You will follow up with the name of another famous person, the letter of their first name being the same letter as the last letter in the last name of the person I posted. I borrowed this from another Board (thanks, Midlynn).... let's try it with historical names? For Example: If I post "John Charles Fremont" you could post "Thomas Paine"....

Just as an aside....Peter the Great was of the House of Romanov, as I recall. However, his dad's name was Alexei, so he could also be called Peter Alexeivich.
