I don't think that is allowed in scrabble old chap.

Now that i have sobered up i have stopped looking.

This thread i guess deserves to die, as nobody wishes to win the prize.

Proper names are not allowed in Scrabble. So I would guess that Barber has the best score.

I don't know Scrabble rules off the top of my head, but I imagine Zwilich on the triple word score would fare pretty well.

I take that back. Carter has a better shot.
