Portmanteau

I have just realised that by appending my own surname to yesterday's 80's portmanteau being I get the still valid Boy George Michael Jackson Browne. Is this a record?

Also a propoos of nothing it has always amused me that Prince, Madonna, and George Michael's given names are Prince Rogers Nelson, Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, and Georgios Krylacos Panayiotou respectively. So Mr. Michael is the only one who adopted a stage name, leaving aside for the moment the vexed issue of Mr. Nelson's squiggle which I always felt was a bit of a put on anyway.
