My initial sentence to this thread is "What famous persons can you think of who are known by a single name -whether that single name is their first name, last name, or nickname?"

Given that sentence, it's possible that a person's full name could be known. However, I was {am} more interested in folks helping to compile a list of famous people who are most often known by one name or nickname/stage name.

As I mentioned, this subject has been expanded to include famous fictional characters. I'm cool with that. As a matter of fact, I asked a question upthread about the single name of a fictitious character who is known for the saying "Exit. Stage right". Nobody's posted that answer yet. I know the answer, but I thought it would add to the fun to ask game questions.

This thread list also includes examples of single names of real animals/living creatures and fictitious animals. Since this thread is all in fun, that's cool with me too [not that it matters a hill of beans whether whatever someone posts on this thread is cool with me or not].

So in the spirit of fun & games, here's some additional Single Name Basis questions:

1. What's the name of The Lone Ranger's sidekick?

2. What's the name of the American television detective who likes lollipops {suckers}?

3. What are the names of the two Sesame Street roomates whose characters are loosely based on the television show "The Odd Couple?"

4. What is the name of the black caped wearing sword fighting American television character?

5. What's the name of the big dragon who lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee?

6. What are the names of the three folk singers who sang the song referred to in question #5?

7. What is the name of the Norse god of thunder?

8. What is the names of Shakespeare's two star crossed lovers?

9. What is the name of the Roman god of love and sex?

10.What is the single name of Captain Kirk's second in command?

If you post an answer to a question or questions listed above, please include the number of the question you are responding to, or cut & paste the question itself.

Additional questions are welcome. If you add a question, don't number it as that might get confusing. Instead, it would be most helpful if anyone responding to un-numbered questions would provide the question first.

Hopefully, if people feel like playing, this might work as well as the questions/responses on these threads from 2006:
