Anyone else have a famous name?

[Stingray89]

My name is Steve Erwin so it's a pretty famous name. After he died (may he RIP) I got stuck with the nickname stingray. I was just curious as to how many of my bass brethren share a famous name with someone else. So lets here your or someone you knows famous name.

And you play a Stingray. Kind of ironically funny in a morbid sort of way.

Robert E. Lee?

My last name is the same as two historical (one fictional) individuals,
a boutique bass company,
and a new IBM computer that will soon apparently dominate the world and enslave us all (maybe not me since I'm family ) through Jeopardy!

Watson.

[Hoover]

My name is Bob Ross. But I don't know dick about "Happy Trees".

Apparently there was also a Bob Ross who played bass on some Motown tracks; that's definitely not me either.

More annoyingly, there is/was another Bob Ross who is/was a record producer, and several records that I've produced have been erroneously credited to him! Doesn't affect my income (at least I don't think those discs are earning any money) but it's infuriating just the same.

I am famous in my own mind and I have a name.

lowsound

[jrthebassguy]

Not quite, but close. There is a hip hop producer that goes by J Rawls - which is also my first initial and my last name.

[Number27]

Haha, nice try internet.. but you won't get my real name out of me that easily

[anyonefortennis]

Whatever it is, it will never be as bad as...

[Sandvich Hero]

Not me, but I work with an aussie named Miles Davis ...

[GeneralElectric]

I'm the democratic representative of Oklahoma.

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Brian Tyler is a well-known film composer and musician- my name gets misspelled with an "i" enough to where it counts.

[WarPhalange]

A professor at my school is Phil Collins.

[EBodious]

i have two friends with the same name, here in this small town. the name is very common. a few years ago, one of them was detained on the new mexico border for quite some time while the officers worked out that he was NOT the murderer they were looking for.
