Thread Name: Single Name Basis
Subject: RE: Single Name Basis
Let me also add Malcolm and Martin.

-snip-

It occurs to me that, though they are associated with particular famous people, some single names may be better known or more readily identified with that famous person among certain populations than others.

By "Malcolm", I mean "Malcolm X". And by Martin, I mean "Martin Luther King, Jr."
