Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Extending my earlier confusion of Marinas in the thread:

Marina Hyde (semi-aristocratic Oxford-educated journalist)
Marina Warner (semi-aristocratic Oxford educated historian and novelist)
Marina Wheeler (semi-aristocratic Cambridge-educated barrister and former spouse of Boris Johnson)

Yes.

Classical edition:

Christian Lindberg

Jackie Bradley Jr.

Mr Twin Sister
Men I Trust

Hohner (Hohner Musikinstrumente GmbH & Co. KG), iconic manufacturer of musical instruments including at least some of the harmonicas and mouth-organs famously used by famous John of the famous English skiffle group the Beatles

Höfner (Karl Höfner GmbH & Co. KG), iconic manufacturer of musical instruments including the violin bass famously used by famous Paul of the famous English skiffle group the Beatles

Also the very lovely Jazzica guitar, a one-pickup archtop used occasionally by famous English singer/organist Paul Carrack of Squeeze, Roxy Music, Ace, Mike + the Mechanics

Oh very nice and true, actually I've totally conflated these until this moment!

Malcolm Muggeridge
Magnus Magnusson

Ray Bradbury
Malcolm Bradbury

John Oswald and John Duncan

Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy

Douglas Rushkoff and David Rakoff

Derrick Carter and Derrick May

Good ones all.

Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy

I did this one several months ago, so I sat my self down and listened to a few songs from each, and decided which one I liked better. Now I can't remember which one that was (I think Snail Mail).

The Japanese House
Japanese Breakfast

I know this is supposed to be based on names, so: Sandy Dennis and Sandy Duncan.

Truthfully, you wouldn't get those two mixed up. I do get Sandy Dennis and Elizabeth Hartman mixed up, though, as to the kind of actresses they are.

This thread should have more of people you get mixed up for reasons other than their name, imo.

On that note, if you were to mix up Sandy Duncan with anyone, it would probably be Karen Valentine.

LFTs

LFF at the NFT

Yes!

Non-fungible Token
National Film Theatre

Every blasted time I read NFT, I think cinema.

Well it's the BFI Southbank nowadays, so unless someone invents block-fungible ingots you shouldn't need to worry.

In SoCal (and other US areas) BFI means Browning Ferris Industries, a trash collecting service.

Every time I see SoCal I have to remember it’s not a low-calorie brand

Comedian and latterday novelist Richard Osman
Suede member and latterday novelist Mat Osman plus a bit of Suede member Richard Oakes, specifically the Richard bit

You know the two Osmans are brothers, yeah?

No! That explains it then.

Gillian McKeith
Gillian Keegan

I was trying to picture Richard Mulligan in my mind’s eye but all my brain could come up with was George Gaynes.

Simon Like
Simon King
Simon Phillips

Oops, spellchecker:

Simon Kirke
Simon King
Simon Phillips

Johnny Saint
Johnny Sins

Robert Durst
Robert Forster

John C. Reilly
Michael Rooker

Yes...let me reshuffle that a bit: name, obviously, but also the actors:

John C. Reilly
John C. McGinley

(McGinley is Marvin in Wall Street, the guy who works at the brokerage with Charlie Sheen.)

Dave Berry
Mike Berry
Nick Berry

There's even another Dave Berry.

Dave Barry too.

Calliope (muse)

Might have mentioned this one before, but:

Sydney Pollack
Sidney Poitier

Sydney Pollack
Sidney Lumet

Ethan Hawke
Ewan McGregor

It doesn't happen often, but the recent Moon Knight trailer had me thinking "Oh. So he gets to be a villain in a DC and a Marvel property" for a brief second.

Dundee F.C.
Dundee United F.C.

This is kind of the opposite? Someone who is the same person who I always think of as two people:

Cat Power
Chan Marshall

Clark Kent
