first name bonanza
Sorry, one more football-related post, but this one will take your breath away. Again, courtesy of the Guardian blog, which observes that, after a late substitution,
"We've got a team of 11 first-name-surnamed players all playing in position," writes Aron Darmody. "James, G. Neville, Terry, Ferdinand, A. Cole, J. Cole, P. Neville, Gerrard, Barry, Johnson, Owen."Phenomenal.

Cole Smith? Johnson Smith? Well, 8 out of 11 ain't bad! :-)
I went to university with an American kid called Johnson Spencer. Which is two first names, if you think about it. It's not that uncommon in the States.
As for Cole - Cole Porter, anyone?
Gah, Yes, Cole Porter.
Wikipedia isn't quite clever enough to give me a list of famous people with the forename Johnson, but I guess there must be plenty in the States, though also plenty with just about any combination of names.
