BS: A name change makes a big difference

Subject: BS: A name change makes a big difference
From: Padre

In a moment of weakness, after finishing Sunday's sermon, I had this idea: Take a famous name, add, subtract or change ONE letter and come up with a new career for the person. To get it started, here are three examples

Subtract: Sherlock HOMES, famous real estate agent
Add: his friend Dr John WHATSON, movie reviewer
Change: the lovely Margo PANE, companion to Lamont Cranston, and the only one who can see through his disguise as The Shadow

As the man said, "Though he could be more humble, there's no police like Holmes." (I've been wanted to use that. I think it was Vincent Starret.)

Change: Vincent Starlet, movie wannabe.

The change I'd like to make doesn't seem to be allowed - I'd like to swap the order of 2 letters. That way we could have.

Jon,

Is Tony B'Liar any relation to Johhny B'Good?

Our own PM in Oz: From Little Johnny Howard to Little Johnny Who-ward(-a-thought he'd ever get to be PM)? Or How-ward we get rid of him?

At least we're rid of his Governor-General, whose main fault is that he is too much like John Howard.
