Good one, but wondering if Ravi Shankar might work better, as the when used alone the forename suggests the surname more readily.

What a complete Ravi. Yep, that works 👍

Just thought of a couple more old ones:

Brahms and Liszt, which is long established.

Lionel (Bart), which I once heard/read June “Dot Cotton” use as rhyming slang for flatulence.

And of course ‘Lionels’ as in flairs 👍

I thought I Loued a Moody, So I took a Robert to the Elton but nothing came from my Mylene, it turned out I just wanted a Geddy.

 

Lou Reed - Need

Geddy Lee - Wee

Elton John - John

Robert Fripp - Trip

Moody Blue(s) - Poo(s)

Mylene Klass - donkey

Trick is the slang has to lead/suggest the word in replaces, so ‘Jethro’ immediately suggests Tull so ‘Jeez the TV is a bit Jethro today’ shouts Dull. Not many lionels, leos or jethros out there hence they work better than many others, at least among people who’ve heard of them 👍

Absolutely, and of course, the governor... It was that originally.

You can flush my offering down the Mavis.

You probably need to knock that drinking on the Grateful.  I hope its not to Leland to the Jacob.

Which reminds me of the less well known Mexican Beatles John, Paul, George, and Gringo 😀

Lionels have always been flares, so it took a while to get that.

I like that. "Careful mate, you're only a guitarist and that's a heavy plectrum, you'll put your Fleetwood out if you're not careful"

Bloody dog's done another Motley on the drive.......
