300 by 5 [BB300]
To celebrate 300 Birdbrains across two blogs, we sink our teeth into vowel play. Old-time actors Bela Lugosi and Victor Mature, for example, both brag AEIOU once only. As do the next ten notables listed below. With only half their names on display – either first or second name – can you restore the celebs from both the past and present? For example, Benazir would open the way to BENAZIR BHUTTO, while Hugo would suggest HUGO WEAVING. You ready? Git!
- Count
- Roberts
- Austin
- Lennon
- Harris
- Greg
- Annie
- Martin
- Phil
- Charles
Any other supervocalic names to nobble?

There was that awesomely hilarious young man on Letters & Numbers just before Christmas... what was his name again?
Luke Brattoni or something...

Found a whole bunch of no-name sports players. Has anyone found AEIOU in order... and sometimes Y?
Yves Beaudoin was almost perfect.

Nib, are you being facetious?

Abstemiously.
