Love this quiz!!
I love these! They're so fun. ^.^
Great teaser. Loved it.
Another good one, I only got Rick and Gene before looking at the hint.
good stuff. I like these teasers
cute
Before I looked at the hint, I was thinking Carr Poole for cab driver.
Really creative
I got Carrie Oakey before the hint and after the hint I got them all, because I always give up and click the hint really easily.
I had May Schauer for the Meteorologist Hey, it works! Thanks again, Marc!
did pretty well, and always enjoy these-thanks!
This was fun. I did appreciate your giving us the first names in your hint. Before I looked, I had names like Carr Poole and Wayne Schauer. Generally I find the hints don't help at all. Yours was the most successful hint I've seen. Thanks for the fun brain teaser.
Got a couple- never heard the name Brock- Fun
Great and fun. I got them all, but the Meteorologist which I thought woukld be either Rock or Starr. .
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all with hint very quickly.
Another gr8 fun Name teaser, thanks Marc!
I needed the hints for 2 of them; had - 'Sun' Schauer( a Pacific island name )?
I too have never heard of 'Brock', as a first name.

I loved this teaser, I should have did better!
Pretty good. Tough, though. I only got a few.
Oh, and I was thinking Rainn Shower (or however you spelled it), like the Dwight from The Office (American version)
