Contenders - Ready!

Something that makes me kinda happy, though is a little irrelevant and maybe even irreverent now I come to think of it - Some might even call it a light hearted subject change...

While I was researching whether or not Robert Mugabe had won the Noble Peace Prize (as my friend said, "Maybe he did before he turned into a mentalist") I chanced upon the best name in history. The man who preceeded Mugabe as President of Zimbabwe was a Mr. Canaan Banana.

So I invite you to come up with your own suggestions. Stage names don't count in my opinion, it has to be what it says on the birth certificate. (Otherwise the competition would be open to Mr. T and nothing could beat that.)

Frank Zappa had 4 children.

Moon Unit Zappa (b. Sep 28, 1967), is a novelist and stand-up comic. She is married to the drummer from Matchbox Twenty.

Dwezil Zappa (b. Sep 5, 1969) actually changed his name to this. Owing to a very reluctant hospital registrar, the name on his birth certificate is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa.

Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Zappa (b. May 15, 1974) is a musician, and has written a children's story that Disney has picked up the film rights to.

Diva Muffin Zappa (b. July 30, 1979) is an actress and artist/designer living in LA.

The people of Lithuania think Frank Zappa is awesome and build a statue of him in the capital city of VIlinius.

Oh, you and your Zappas. That's cheating, having a mentalist for a father is no fun.
