First person who says The Great Gazoo gets smacked (or at least called Dumdum).

2. Charles the Great aka Charlemagne

He was grrrrrrreat!

12. I should have put him on

but then, the folks from the first millennium and before aren't exactly cleaning up on the poll

[DelawareValleyDem]

3. No Gazoo allowed?

I guess Nimbus the Great from the Jetsons isn't acceptable either.

5. Skinner the Great - how could you leave him off

[ET Awful]

7. What about the Great Gatsby? n/t

[Va Lefty]

11. The Great Wall of China (nowhere did you specify it had to be human) n/t

13. Alfred

is the only historical figure on your list who really deserves to be called "The Great". A man who managed to find it within himself to continually forgive Danish chieftains who had lied to him, betrayed him, and taken advantage of his good nature and magnanimity. When he could as easily have had all of their heads on a platter. How can we not revere and respect a man like that?

14. Great Gatsby

Ramses might be interesting though.

Mind you, I googled "the great" plus the name, rather than "______ the great," which probably explains why popular given names like Peter, Charles and Wall of China did so well. (That's it! I'm naming my firstborn "Wall of China." S/he'll love it, I'm sure!)

[Bossy Monkey]

20. C'mon guys; you can't shut out Ramses!

Side note: Do you think Ramses condoms would sell better if they called them Ramses the Great?

[Tektonik]

21. Gretzky was by far the most dominant play in his respective sport ever

No other athlete can hold his jock.

[KitchenWitch]

23. Alice the Great from Lil Bill!

26. Ramses Ramses Ra Ra Ra

Of course, I could just vote for him, but that would rob me of the chance to do the bad Ra/Rah pun.
