Re .0

Though the rules say that the names should be of real people, you gave
a fictitious person's name (Li'l Abner) in your example.  I'm assuming
names of fictional characters are allowed.  Clearly they should be well-
known, or the submitter should explain.

    The best type of reply in this series is one that allows
    a following reply.  For example, for "Greek, Jimmy the" I
    was tempted to use "Jiminy Cricket" because it sort of
    rhymes with "Jimmy the".  However, I was stuck trying to
    think of what first name starts with "cricket"!  There was
    Buddy Holly's group but that didn't fit nicely.

    starts with "magazine"?
