Some random idea I got.

In the history of music, which first name has had the most outstanding songwriters attached to it? Ok, that question wasn't worded very well, imagine if every great songwriter in history was divided into groups based on what their first names were. So all of the Toms would be in one group, all the Bobs would be in one group, etc. Which group would have the most talent?

I'm going with the Pauls.

Paul McCartney
Paul Simon
Paul Westerberg
Paul Weller

Anyone have better? And am I forgetting any Pauls?
