A.K.A.

This is for any person, country, company that is now known by another name. You must give its former name. I'll go first with the legendary Annie Mae Bullock.

I thought about this one for a few days and couldn't figure it out so I cheated and Googled it. Tony Curtis

Constantinople (remember you can name a city, a stadium, a brand name, anything you like that has changed its name)

 

(I found it out in a quiz - and thought I'll have to remember that lol)
Isn't Constantinople, - Istanbul?

(As this isn't A-Z,) ..... I fancy a good old fashioned (and properly named) - MARATHON

 

I did intend for it to be A-Z but ok. I don't know Marathon, is it a brand name?

 

It's a tasty Chocolate product made by Mars
(They changed the name for the European Market, but we still call it Marathon in the UK - 'word on the street' is they may be changing it back )

 

Again I'll leave it a few days for someone to answer and if no one does I'll have to cheat.

 

Archie Leach

 

I see, Marathon is now known as Snickers. I've learned something today. Unfortunately I don't know Archie Leach either so we're back to the drawing board. Any ideas Wolf?

 

Archie Leach = that fine English actor - Cary Grant

 

'Siam'

 

Well done Wolf.

Finally one I know: Siam = Thailand

I've got one: a singer born Eileen Edwards on 28 August 1965

 

Shania Twain (Had to look that one up ... I now, I know - 'That don't impress you much' )

He's a footballer, not sure which one. Pele?
