The only person you're truly competing against, Wesley, is yourself.

Does A begin with A, B begin with B etc?
A: Does not have a name that begins with "A".
B: Does have a name that begins with "B".
D: Does not have a name that begins with "D".
E: Does not have a name that begins with "E".
F: Does not have a name that begins with "F".
G: Does not have a name that begins with "G".
I should clarify this: "a name" means either first or last name.

Free guess

C: Clyde from Pac-Man
A lot of times when someone gets the answer on these, I can see, logically, how they were able to put all of the information together to narrow it down. But every now and then I'm dumbfounded....
Pac-Man is possibly the most famous pre-1981 video game. I knew it couldn't be Pac-Man himself (main character) so I thought maybe one of the ghosts. I chose Clyde because there's no ghost named Yorkshire or Wales.

D: Has professionally sang (but does not write his own songs, as far as I can tell). Singing may or may not be what he is famous for.

Also, Pac-Man was already done in round #101...

Scoreboard:

Hominidae: 1
Everyone else: 0

Unused guesses remaining:

Hominidae, kingofthepirates, Jamiet99uk, Wattsthematter: 6
Everyone else: 7

Questions used so far, by the QM's count:
A: 16
B: 10
C: 12
D: 17
E: 14
F: 18
G: 14

Lots of questions to be used on person B; some of the other persons may be running out of questions. I reserve the right to award additional questions to be asked if that would improve gameplay (I'd rather not simply give hints).
