Damn, you're really trying to make this hard for me, but here we go nonetheless. Nixon is a Scottish name, derived from the Scottish form of Nicholas, so in effect, Nixon means "son of Nicholas". So knowing that, and using a derivative of Nicholas, I go with:
Nick Charles, one of the main characters of The Thin Man movies with his wife Nora, the two respectively portrayed by William Powell and Myrna Loy.

Had to dig for this one. In the Slavic world, the -sky or -ski at the end of a family name is a bit like the Mac, Mc, or O' of Irish and Scottish names. So in this case, Marinsky means roughly "of Marin". Now, in Slavic countries, Marin means seaman, and the feminine form of Marin is Marina.

You're an ass bro..... Bert Cummings, are you serious? Whoever the hell he was, he was only in like one silent movie in the 1920s. He doesn't even have an article on Wikipedia.
But that doesn't mean I couldn't get something out of that, oh no. You see, Cummings is merely a branch of the more common Clan Cumming, as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Cumming
Now, according to that article, the name Cumming derives from the original Comyn, as Cumming or Cummings are merely Anglicized versions of that. And by digging around more, I've come up with this: Comyns Beaumont, a name the man was also known by according to the article, and how I found it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Comyns_Beaumont
And before anyone else can get in here, I'll continue forward. Using the Beau part of the name Beaumont, I thusly go forward to the great 1940s boxer, Beau Jack: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Jack
So there you go. However, trying to sabotage the game isn't cool. Be a sport and keep it going somehow. Don't be an ass for the sake of being an ass.

Hey, I appreciate a challenge, but there's a difference between challenging and ricockulous...and for awhile, I was getting nothing but ricockulous.
But I digress....Stan Lee, otherwise known as God.
