The letters of my last name ("GINNOW") are in alphabetical order (but 
they are not all consecutive, just "NO").  Can you find any well-known 
names in which all of the letters are in alphabetical order (not 
necessarily consecutive)?

My first name is "CARL".  If I had been named "ABE", my first and last 
name together would have alphabetical letters.  Can you find any 
well-known names in which the first and last name together is alphabetical?
