Is there a database I can query that will give me a pair of famously linked individuals whose first names start with the respective letters?

There are three I can think of: https://oakland.edu/enp/  (Erdos Number Project Data Files link on the left). http://www.rhydlewis.eu/movies/ There are links to the data and Python code Lewis used, at the bottom of the page. Maybe https://csxstatic.ist.psu.edu/downloads/data CiteSeer data gives the most easily mineable "famousness" information. Funny, Bogart and Bacall are excluded from this sort of thing because they're on the diagonal.  --Steve
