Provide the name that these people (and some fictional characters and some bands) share.
Mainly clues for those whose surname is the first name of the other but there are some 'gimmes' for those who share a first name or surname...
The band is known as Van Halen (you will note in the caveats that band names are included). There is no Eddie Helsing, Alex Helsing or Wolfgang Helsing so only one correct answer - that you knew 'Van' as the answer suggests it is a fair clue/question. Cheers.
