Just like the game for fictional characters, but using real people. The name used can be from someone living or dead, but it must be someone who is generally known (no using your "friend" Ckert Smith) If you are using someone real but somoewhat obscure (say Samuel Sewall - one of the judges of the Salem witch trials and whose biography I am currently reading) please provide some reference and/or link.
And like in the other game, if the last two letters don't lend themselves to the next name, keep shifting until one works. And no using the last name first (Lincoln, Abraham)
I will start with
George Washington
