Ok, my local radio station was asking this question about a week ago & there were some people in my area that knew a Michael Jackson or a Michael Bolton & other such big names. Do you know someone with a famous name? I know some famous people (Australian) but as for a normal person with a famous name, not really unless you count one of the guys who is in the top 24 for this years Australian Idol...his name is Aaron Bolton & I went to high school with a guy called Aaron Boulton (he pronounced his last name the same as Bolton)...So what about you? do you or anyone you know have a famouse name?

I know some famous people but as far as knowing someone with a name similar to someone famous is concerned, I have a slim chance of remembering it as here where I live, names are rather different. (For example, i doubt only a few people can pronounce my own name right) ..
But, of course I used to know a Mohandas Gandhi (Thats the same name as 'the Gandhi') .. I also know a Sarah Whiteman which somehow reminds me of Sarah Brightman, a Nick Carey which reminds me both of Jim Carrey (whose real name is James Eugene btw) and Nick carter lol, A Bob Dysan .. which of course looks similar to Bob Dylan .. and a few more probably which i cannot remember now.

The closest I've come to knowing someone famous is Kenney Chesney. He sings a lot of country songs. He grew up on 20 minutes down the road from me. I don't him personally but I know his family. In fact my doctor that is my PCP has married his mom and I met his dad my senior year of highschool and he said that I had a good singing voice for alto.

That's pretty cool I think I've heard of him...I know a couple of famous people that are on tv here in Australia that people in the UK would know coz they are on Home & Away & Neighbours (Aussie Soaps) but I am cousins with Darren Hayes (was the lead singer of Savage Garden) but as to people that have a famous name...not really
