No. (We know this is a fictional being; this character does not come from anything like Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, ...)

Yes, that’s what I meant. Sorry!Spartaculous wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 12:02 amI'm going to ask for clarification here: way back in round 157, I did John Paul Jones (the admiral) and John Paul Jones (the bassist). The bassist chose his stage name of JPJ because of the admiral. Would the answer to your question be "Yes" for the admiral and "No" for the bassist?

I think that I would prefer to handle this by not counting this as a question, but offering a bit of commentary.han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 4:53 amYes, that’s what I meant.

First, none of the persons are best known for having something named after them (in the way that Zuo Zongtang is, at least in the USA, best known as the namesake of a chicken dish).
Free (unsurprising) hint: at least one of the real persons is dead, and at least one of the real persons is alive.
For at least one of the one or more dead persons, the person has had the usual honors of having random things named after them (bridges, medals, that kind of stuff - maybe not those literal examples, but that kind of stuff).
There is a mildly famous person who has adopted a stage name after one of the persons. However, I would say that this person is not as famous as the actual person you are trying to guess.

By the way, guessers should not feel obliged to ask questions about all seven persons simultaneously. If you have a really good question to ask that just applies to one person, ask it!

So either the far western Aleutian Islands, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, far northern Uzbekistan, far northern China, or far northern Japan. Interesting.

Plenty of famous Russians (or Soviets) born in the Asian side of that country, I’d think. Was person A born in an area that has been part of the Soviet Union?

Oops, that overlaps. Perhaps someone else can ask my second question.

You are allowed to ask more than one question in a row, but to keep the game going, I'll ask the question.

Re: 20 questions, round 204: 7-way showdown!
A couple of minor clarifications on the "political or military figure?" question. None of the persons are best known for this. At least one had incidental military service.
Both person A and person F expressed views relating to politics and/or the military.
