LOL Who is most famous person thread and can't spell the name he nominates ;) It's "Baird".
Apart from Burns, Graham Bell inventor of the Telephone would be more widely known than Baird.
Conan Doyle? Sean Connery? But winner has to be old Red Nose himself:

Alex Ferguson! I'm sure half of the far east are Man U fans?

Yogi Bear's name was similar to that of Scottish engineer and inventor John Logie Bear, best known for his role in the practical introduction of broadcast television for home entertainment. Logie Bear sued Hanna-Barbera for defamation but their management claimed that the similarity of the names was just a coincidence. Logie Bear withdrew his suit but the defense was considered implausible and sources now report that John Logie Bear was the inspiration for the name.[8]

I would advise Just Checking to check his facts before LOL-ing.
