First Names Trivia Questions

1. English author Rudyard Kipling shared a (hidden) first name with a Polish-born author know for works written in English. What is their common first name?

From Quiz
Unknown First Names

Answer: Joseph

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, British India, in 1865. He is best known for "The Jungle Book" and other novels, poems and stories that often featured life in India. Joseph Conrad (Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a Polish-born author whose best known works were written in English, including "Heart of Darkness" and "Lord Jim".

2. Who is the "odd man (or woman) out"?

From Quiz Anyone for Androgyny?

Answer: Leslie Uggams

Why, it's Leslie Uggams. Uggams is an actress and a singer; in 1967 she won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for the show "Hallelujah, Baby", and in 1977 she played Kizzy Reynolds in the miniseries "Roots". Leslie Howard was an actor ("Gone with the Wind" playing Ashley Wilkes, another adrogenous name!); Leslie Nielsen was also an actor ("The Naked Gun"); Les Moonves is President and CEO of CBS (and married to Julie Chen - yet another androgeny).

3. This Eve played the middle sister, Jan, in the TV series "The Brady Bunch".

From Quiz Adams and Eves

Answer: Eve Plumb

'Marcia, Marcia, Marcia' - Jan clearly had some middle sibling issues! While Eve has appeared on both TV and stage since 'The Brady Bunch' (and a number of spinoffs) ended, and has also achieved some success as an artist, her role as Jan Brady looks to remain her most memorable.

4. In 1980 in Lake Placid, a group of unknown American Ice Hockey players shocked the world by beating the Soviet Union at the Winter Olympics. What was the name of the fiery Team U.S.A. coach for this "Miracle on Ice?"

From Quiz Herbs and Roses

Answer: Herb Brooks

Herbert Paul Brooks Junior was born on August 5th, 1937. He is best remembered for being the Head Olympic Coach for the USA team that won Olympic Gold in 1980 at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. During the Games, the American team upset the heavily favored Soviet Union team 4-3 in the semi-finals in a game that has become known as the "Miracle on Ice." Herb Brooks coached for many years in the National Hockey League and also coached the French Hockey team at the 1998 Winter Olympics and the USA team once again at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games where they won the silver medal. Sadly, Herb was killed in an automobile accident in 2003. Schneider (Buzz), Johnson (Mark) and Eruzione (Mike) were the scorers for the USA team in the historic victory over the Soviet team in 1980.

5. What was the surname of the brilliant 2nd- and 3rd-century BCE Carthaginian general, Hannibal, who led the empire of Carthage against the Roman Republic in the Second Punic War, coming close to defeating Rome until his defeat at the Battle of Zama?

From Quiz First Name Basis

Answer: Barca

Hannibal's father was Hamilcar Barca. Hannibal is famous for his use of elephants in battle and his feat of successfully driving his army, elephants and all, across the Alps in 218 BCE in order to reach Rome. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest military commanders of all time. Agrippa and Germanicus are Roman names, and Scipio Africanus is the Roman general who finally defeated Hannibal.

6. Andrew is my oldest grandson and he shares his name with the apostle who is the patron saint of Scotland and also of which other country listed here?

From Quiz My Three (Grand)Sons

Answer: Russia

St. Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist and recognized Jesus as the Messiah because of John's testimony. In the Orthodox tradition, Andrew is known as Protocletos, which means First Called. He was the brother of Simon (St. Peter) but does not seem to have either a Hebrew or an Aramaic name. Andrew is the anglicized version of the Greek Andreia, which means valour or manhood. Christian tradition has it that following the resurrection and ascension, Andrew preached the Gospel in Asia Minor, in Scythia and as far north as Kiev in what is now Ukraine. In 38 CE he supposedly founded the See of Byzantium and installed Stachys as bishop. Andrew is said to have been crucified by being bound to the x-shaped cross that is now his symbol. The legend is that Andrew chose this method of crucifixion because he did not deem himself worthy to be crucified in the same manner as Christ. Andrew was crucified at Patras in Greece, where his relics (one finger, part of the top of his skull and a piece of the cross on which he met his end) are still kept in the Church of St. Andrew. My grandson Andrew is a great guy, but I doubt if he'll ever be a candidate for sainthood.

7. Who was born in Bensonhurst, New York?

From Quiz Manny Ramirez, Moe Howard, or Jack Kevorkian

When Harry was ten years old, he moved to California with his father where he took an interest in magic. After high school, Harry became a street performer, earning money doing magic tricks and games like three card monte.

9. Which English driver had Formula 1 experience with four teams, including Tyrrell and McLaren, before moving to CART with the PacWest team in 1996?

From Quiz My Three (Grand)Sons

Answer: Pella

Pella was the capital city of Macedon and Alexander's father, Philip, was the King of Macedon. Alexander was born in 356 BCE while his father was off on a military campaign. Philip was informed of his son's birth on the same day that he received two other items of good news - one of his generals had crushed the Illyrians in battle and his horse had won its race at the Olympics. An oracle had foretold that the son of the king who received three pieces of good news on the same day would go on to conquer the world. Indeed, by the time Alexander was in his early thirties he had conquered all of the then-known world (except Italy), from India in the east to Egypt in the west. He died one month short of his 33rd birthday on June 10, 323 BCE in Babylon. There has been speculation that he was poisoned, but it seems more likely that his death was the result of 12 years of hard campaigning, alcoholism and/or malaria or typhoid. My grandson Alexander has no ambiton to conquer the world.

18. Sir Robert Peel, born 5th February 1788, was Conservative Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 10th December 1834 to 8th April 1835, but he was perhaps more famous for his work in which field?

From Quiz For Louise and Rob

Answer: The formation of a police force

The Metropolitan [London] Police Force was based at Scotland Yard. The 1,000 constables employed were affectionately nicknamed 'Bobbies', or somewhat less affectionately, 'Peelers'. Although they were unpoplular at first they proved very successful in cutting crime in London. Peel had gone ahead with his plans, because he had seen the measure of a police force's success in Stalybridge, Cheshire ('My Home Sweet Home') which had had set up its own police force two years before Peel introduced his to London. (Information taken from Wikipedia).

19. Whose father drove a cab for a living?

From Quiz Manny Ramirez, Moe Howard, or Jack Kevorkian

Kevorkian's father was an auto worker. Moe Howard's father was a clothing cutter, while his mother was a real estate entrepreneur.

20. Who had a dog named Checkers?

From Quiz Tom, Dick, or Harry - Cruise, Nixon or Anderson

Answer: Dick

Checkers became one of the most famous dogs in American political history during the 1952 presidential campaign. Nixon, who was a U.S. Senator at the time, was chosen by the Republican party to be the running mate of presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower. When it was disclosed that Nixon had once accepted an $18,000 fund from a California business man, the Republicans nearly dropped him from the ticket. Nixon's televised self defense was dubbed "The Checkers Speech" because of a sentimental reference to his beloved pet. Most believe the speech saved his political life.

From Quiz Anyone for Androgyny?

From Quiz My Three (Grand)Sons

Answer: Black Dan

Daniel Webster (1782-1852) was a New England lawyer, orator, US senator for Massachuessetts, and an influential member of the Whig Party. As an attorney he is noted for pleading many cases in the US Supreme Court which established constitutional precedents that served to enhance and increase the authority of the federal government. He was also a member of 'The Great Triumverate', along with Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, seeking to preserve the Union and offering compromises that would eliminate the possibility of war between the Northern and Southern States. In 1957 Webster was named by the US Senate as one of its five outstanding members no longer living (the other four were Clay (Kentucky) and Calhoun (South Carolina), Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin and Robert A. Taft of Ohio). Webster's nickname 'Black Dan' was bestowed on him because of his swarthy complexion and dark hair. My grandson Dan has a fair rather than swarthy complexion.

Moe tried to follow their wishes, but quit the trade school in New York after a few months.
