Harald Hardrada? I supposed that name could be considered rude - mind you, I was brought up on a diet of 70's Carry On movies...

I'll guess Billy Piper on the basis that her first name also sounds male.

Lucky guess although not many popstars I can think of switch to actress- more the other way round with soapstars.
Continuing with the popular music theme: From where did, Las Vegas based darlings of NME, The Killers take their name?
May be a bit tough but I noticed something at the weekend which made me think hmm I wonder if that is where the Killers got their name from and on checking I was in fact right.

I've no idea, but that's never stopped me before, so I'll guess they're called the Killers because they get their name from the schlock-movie Driller Killer.
I always thought they were a British band. Shows how much I know.

I'm guessing taht this might be a bit tough- one of those that you have to know the answer to otherwise v difficult to guess.
First clue then- the answer is linked to another band this time definitely from England.
