That sounds like a take on one of my favourite drinking games... the
name game. A player names a famous person, and the next one names
another one whose first name begins with teh same letter the surname of
the previous famous person began with. If both letters are the same
(Charlie Chaplin), order of play reverses, and names must not be
duplicated.
