Last month's Quest asked for the identification of the popular pseudonym for 12 persons:
| Calvin Broadus | Snoop Doggy Dog |
| Johnathon Davis Kamal | Q-Tip |
| Scott Thompson | Carrot Top |
| William Bailey | Axl Rose |
| Sean Combs | Puff Daddy |
| David Atkins | Sinbad |
| Marvin Lee Adair | Meatloaf |
| Gertrude Stein | Alice B. Toklas |
| Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili | Stalin |
| Michel de Notre Dame | Nostradamus |
| Edson Arantes do Nascimento | Pele |
| Martha Jane Burke | Calamity Jane |
Alma Litten had 10 of the 12 and pointed out the correct original name for Nostradamus was Michel de Nostredame.

I'm taking a different tack this month.
I am going to list four names of real people who I
have always thought had neat-sounding names.
The best term I can think of is mellifluous.
Strangely, my four are all related to music.
My favorite is number 1 and his presence in Columbus
recently sort of catalyzed this idea.
Do any of you have some names (not necessarily
connected to music) which strike you in this fashion?
Let me know
(see puzzle page for contacts).
