If the Academy can hand out their Oscars for Best Actors, it seems only fair for Nameberry to bestow its own Berry awards on Best Actors' Names.

(Sophia Loren took home the Best Actress prize for Two Women in 1961 and Olivia de Havilland won not one but two Oscars -- in 1946 for To Each His Own and in 1949 for The Heiress.) Here are the rest -- the Lifetime Berry Awards for best names!
