I feel so weird by not knowing most of the persons you listed. :D I just have to must mention I love Benjamin Géza, Leonardo Wilhelm, Mariska Magdolna (love it), Joseph Alberic, Sofia Carmina Coppola ( I wanted to take the whole name, because Sofia Carmina wouldn't be as workful without such a great and fitting last name). It is interesting to know Helen Mirren's heritage is Russian - what a typical first name/patronymic-combination (I know a few Elena Vaislyevnas myself) plus what a common last name! :D
