The Best Name Game Trivia Questions

31. Cod with cheese sauce is named after one of the advisors to the French king, Henry IV. Who was this advisor?

From Quiz
Tasty Men

Answer: Philippe de Mornay

The recipe I refer to is cod à la Mornay. Not only cod but also other sorts of fish can be made "à la Mornay". After having applied the sauce, you would brown the fish under the grill or in a hot oven. Philippe de Mornay was born in 1549 and died in 1623. He was advisor to admiral Gaspard de Coligny and later to Henry IV, who reigned from 1589 till 1610. Jules Mazarin was a cardinal who advised (and influenced) Henry IV's successor, king Louis XIII (king of France between 1610 and 1643). Jean-Baptiste Colbert was advisor to king Louis XIV, the French king from 1643 till 1715. Colbert is best known for his economic policy based on the work of local manufacturers, instead of the work of the farmers. Farm produce was protected by Colbert by means of high import taxation. By the way, Colbert gave his name to a recipe based on sole. Sole Colbert is crumbed sole with beurre maître d'hôtel (butter with green spices). Nicolas Perrenot de Granvelle wasn't an advisor to a French king. He advised the Habsburg Emperor Charles V (emperor from 1515 till 1555), who reigned in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Austria-Hungary and large parts of Germany, Italy and the Balkan peninsula, and of course all colonies of these countries.

32. A cocktail with vodka and tomato juice was named after the eldest daughter of Henry VIII. What was her name?

From Quiz Tasty Women

Answer: Mary Tudor

The cocktail I describe is the Bloody Mary. Mary Tudor (1516-1558), the daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon, was crowned Queen of England and Ireland at the age of 39. Because of her tyrannical reign, she was nicknamed Bloody Mary. Elisabeth (1533-1603) was the second daughter of Henry VIII. Her mother was Anna Boleyn. She was Queen of England and Ireland from 1558 until her death. Jane Seymour (1509-1537) was the third wife of Henry VIII. She gave birth to Edward, the later king Edward VI. Mary Stuart (1542-1587) was not the daughter of Henry VIII, but of King James V. She was crowned Queen of Scotland when she only was 7 days old. She abdicated in 1567.

33. SURNAME : Famous English architect whose greatest masterpiece was St. Paul's Cathedral.

50. For which Alfred Hitchcock film was surrealist artist Salvador Dalí asked to design a dream sequence?

From Quiz City Folk (Part 7): Artists & Writers

Answer: Spellbound

In 1945 Dalí's agent informed him that Alfred Hitchcock was designing a nightmare dream sequence for his new film starring Ingrid Bergman as a psychiatrist who falls in love with her boss played by Gregory Peck. The scene in the finished film proceeded this way: Peck's character Dr. Anthony Edwardes is describing a dream he had to Bergman as he lies down on her therapy couch, "I can't make out just what sort of a place it was." The shot then dissolves into Dalí's image designs: free-floating eyes in space transforming into painted curtains, which then get viciously ripped apart by a man with a huge pair of scissors. This is followed by a Blackjack card game where the cards are all blank and the men are without faces. But then there are rocks that DO have faces. Many years later Hitchcock said, "I wanted Dalí because of the architectural sharpness of his work," and that he "wanted to convey the dream with great visual sharpness and clarity, sharper than the film itself." One of Brazil's oldest cities, Salvador is also one of the country's largest cities, and lies along the Atlantic Ocean coast. It has a population over 2 and a half million.

51. Jimmy Wales is an American businessman who co-founded which hugely popular Internet web site?

From Quiz Country Folk (Part 2)

Answer: Wikipedia

Mr. Wales was born in Huntsville, Alabama. His initial stab at an online encyclopedia that was free to use was a site called Nupedia. It operated with a peer-review process overseeing submissions by experts in various fields. They found, however, that it was a laborious process. So Wales and his partner Larry Sanger looked into a new software technology called "wiki" and changed the submission structure to allow anyone and everyone to contribute to and edit. Yes, even you. Even your Aunt Virginia. That was the problem. Wales and Sanger had disagreements and eventually split. The wikipedia problematic issues of errors in posts, malice, practical jokes, etc. have been somewhat mitigated by trusted members who have been granted an administrative role and access to software that allows them to find and correct shady behavior and the like. Wales economic strength in coal mining declined drastically by the end of the 20th century, but the country saw an uptick in their economy from the cities of Cardiff and Swansea in addition to the countryside making a turn from small farming and toward tourism retirees from England increasingly moved there.

52. Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney Houston, had a rich gospel singing career of her own. She was in all these gospel/soul groups except for the one that is a heavy metal group. Which one is that?

From Quiz City Folk (Part 3)

Answer: Lamb of God

While Lamb of God is a heavy metal group, recording songs like "Burn the Priest" and "Ashes of the Wake", all the other groups are gospel groups to which Cissy Houston was a member, yes, even "The Drinkard Singers." Her family name was actually Drinkard--Cissy was born Emily Drinkard. Cissy Houston formed a gospel trio called The Gospelaires, along with her nieces, Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick. Cissy also sang lead for the soul group "The Sweet Inspirations" from 1967 to 1970. Cissy Houston was the first singer to record the song "Midnight Train to Georgia." Houston, Texas is home to some of the most popular gospel churches in America, including Ecclesia, The Lakewood Church, Sojourn Montrose, Hope City, Faith Memorial Baptist Church, and so many more. The city hosts many gospel music events, such as the "I CAN SING" Gospel Vocal Talent Search, and the "Sunrise International Dance Company Family Christmas."

53. What actress underwent hypnosis so that she could be put into a trance by the director for the scenes in the film in which she confronts "Candyman"?

From Quiz Stately People

Answer: Virginia Madsen

Virginia Madsen was hypnotized and given a trigger phrase for her scenes with Candyman, who was played by actor Tony Todd. It was director Bernard Rose's intent to make her look more like she was under the Candyman's spell, and indeed she did appear very glassy-eyed in those scenes according to viewers. However, the actress became uncomfortable with this directorial tactic after a while and so she pulled the plug on it.

54. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the first name of Wellington Mara, who from 1959 until his death in 2005, was the famed co-owner of what National League Football team?

From Quiz City Folk (Part 2)

Answer: New York Giants

On October 18, 1925, at the age of nine, Wellington Mara began working for the Giants as a ballboy after his father, Timothy J. Mara, bought the team. After graduating from Fordham, Wellington worked in the front office as a treasurer and assistant to his father. Wellington spent the next 80 years of his life involved with the team except for three years in the Navy during World War II, whereupon he returned to the Giants as their Vice President. In the 1960s he took over as President and played an influential role in arranging television revenue sharing. The Giants were a leading attraction in the NFL, but instead of exploiting that and capitalizing on it, Wellington saw the wisdom in revenue sharing which allowed teams in smaller markets to compete on a more even playing field, no pun intended. In 1997, Wellington was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. His induction made it the first time a father and son shared the same HOF honor.

55. As well as being a musician and member of the Rolling Stones what other artistic talent does Ronnie Wood have?

From Quiz Mmmm, Mmmm, Wood

In the 1960s he followed his two brothers and trained at Ealing Art College, an establishment which was also attended by Freddy Mercury of Queen and Pete Townsend of The Who during the sixties. Ronnie Wood's paintings often depict popular cultural icons, including the Rolling Stones in performance. Andrew Lloyd Webber commissioned several from him and they hang at Drury Lane Theatre. Ronnie designed the cover for Eric Clapton's box set 'Crossroads'. A whole programme of the influential television programme 'The South Bank Show' was devoted to his work.

56. Who has his first UK top ten hit in 1970 but had to wait until 1990 for his first solo UK number one, a wait of 20 years and 15 top ten hits?

From Quiz The Game Of The Name

Answer: Elton John

Elton's first UK top ten was "Your Song" (1970) and his first number one was "Sacrifice (1990). He did have a number one in the intervening years, but it was his duet with Kiki Dee, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" in 1976, so not a solo hit. In USA and also Canada, he had his first top ten in 1970 with "Your Song" and first number one in 1972 with "Crocodile Rock" but Australia was a similar story to UK, as his first top ten was "Crocodile Rock" (1972) but he then had to wait until 1997 for a number one which finally came with the double A side, "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"/"Candle In The Wind 1997".
