This can be any person (first or one of surnames), any place - real or fiction - or anything that has two names

A ALICE Roosevelt-Longworth - eldest daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt who was a writer and socialite. She got the second part of her name from her husband Nicholas Longworth III. She once quipped 'If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.'
 
B - Helena Bonham Carter. English actress. On record as saying hyphen in surname is optional. Her grandfather for example was Liberal politician Sir Maurice Bonham-Carter and she is a distant cousin of actor, Crispin Bonham-Carter.
 
C CATHERINE Zeta-Jones - actress who first became known for her part as Mariette in the Darling Buds of May. She's won many awards for her films. Married Michael Douglas in 2000.
 
D - Daniel Day-Lewis. English actor and recipient of many awards. The Last of the Mohicans is one of my favourite films.
 
E ELIZABETH Bowes-Lyon - the late Queen Mother whose father, Claude Bowes-Lyon was the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.
 
G GARY Taylor-Fletcher - football manager at Crewe. Played for a few clubs including Huddersfield, Lincoln, Blackpool. Was just plain Gary Fletcher until June 2004 when he got married and added the 'Taylor' to the middle.
 
H - Wilfrid Hyde-White. British character actor who appeared in many film and TV roles over a long career. Perhaps best known for Colonel Pickering in My Fair Lady (1964).
 
J - John Rhys-Davies. Welsh actor who played Sallah in the Indiana Jones films. I remember him for two TV roles, Macro in I, Claudius and Vasco Rodrigues in Shogun.
 
K Deborah Jane KERR-Trimmer or Deborah Kerr as we know her. Born in Scotland to Kathleen Rose and Capt. Arthur Charles Kerr-Trimmer and she originally trained as a ballet dancer but changed professions and dropped the Trimmer from her surname. She starred in films such as The King and I, An Affair to Remember and The Sundowners and many more. Her grandson Lex Shrapnel is an actor.
 
P - Port-au-Prince. Capital and largest city of Haiti. The derivation of the name and whether there was a real prince is unknown.
