No not Ozzy.

I thought those two would prove the toughest and I was correct.

12) Terry Bollea went by the name Hulk Hogan as a professional wrestler in the US, where he was born (Augusta, GA)

14) Eilleen Regina Edwards acquired the surname Twain when adopted by her step-father, and chose the first name Shania when her singing career took off. Born in Ontario, Canada.


I was actually inspired to make this quiz by the mention of actor Errol Flynn in this interesting article in Smithsonian Magazine.

Nudity, Art, Sex and Death – Tasmania Awaits You



Errol Flynn probably remains the most famous person to have been born in Hobart, Tasmania. I did want to include at least one celebrity from “Down Under” in my list, but all those I knew of have used their real names professionally.


So anyway the final tally is:

Issybird (12)

Orlok (6)

Poohbear_NC (4)

Bookpossum (3)

Bilbo1967 (1)

It is Issybird up next!
