You could've included Olaf Palme, prime minister of Sweden. Sometime in the 1980s. There's many much more obscure ones at least from this corner of the world. Also why doesn't just surname work for Lennon?

Yeah, sorry to both of you. It's occasionally the case that on a new quiz there are a few bumps here and there to iron out- things I've missed. I'll change those immediately.
