Fingers on buzzers

OK - pub quiz questions about names. You can of course Google the answers, but play fair and see how many you know unaided. I reckon 5 or more would be pretty good -

1. What was Bing Crosby's real first name?
2. In the opera "La Boheme" the heroine sings "They call me Mimi, but my name is..." what?
3. Jeeves and Wooster - we know Wooster's first name is Bertie, but Jeeves?
4. John Wayne's real name wasn't John. What was it?
5. ...and Benny Hill's wasn't Benny. Any ideas?
6. Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov - you know her, but not by that name. How is she better known?
7. Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, Sleepy, Grumpy, Happy and...?
8. What does the bank's name HSBC stand for?
9. What's the dog's name in Peter Pan?
10.What's the name of the fictional village where Miss Marple lives?
