The Name Game
This is a list of celebrities whose names begin and end with the same letter. This used to be a text file, but has been jazzed up when the site was converted to WordPress. I’m going to get links for everyone by using the wonderment of Google, should you not know who anyone is. I’ll try and find official sites, or at least IMDB entries if they’ve actually starred in anything.
Comments are in brackets, along with the initial of the person who came up with it. If there’s no initials, it’s one of mine, or I’ve forgotten who did it.
If you want to add any names, please leave a comment at the bottom of the page.
