Our Steven or Stephen? Quiz has challenged more than 20,000 players out there in WWW-land, so we thought we’d try something similar, this time with a trio of related names. In today’s Lunchtime Quiz, we offer you ten famous gentlemen whose first or middle names are either ALAN, ALLAN, or ALLEN. Can you properly identify the spelling for each of them? Good luck!
Take the Quiz: Alan-Allan-Allen
Okay, so I just got 100% on this quiz. I think I have found my calling in life.

So my dad’s first name is Stephen and middle name is Alan. You’d think i would’ve done better on both quizzes. Alas.

5/10. And my husband’s middle name is Alan, and my brother’s first name is Steven. Eh…

90% I really don’t know how I knew all those Alans!
