gnu, in the context of the name "Saint Patrick", the word "Saint" is a title.

When I started this thread I was thinking of famous people who are known by just one name.

Famous people has been expanded to "famous characters" which still fits the spirit and intent of this thread.

My definition for "one name" is a single name/nickname that isn't prefaced by {with?} a title.

I appreciate your post, but if we open up this list to all those famous people whose first name or last name is prefaced by {with?} a title, there goes the neighborhood.

Just kidding about that neighborhood statement. After all, our neighborhood is already mud ;o)
