We are living in a golden age of Kristens. Or is it Kirstens? Kyrstens? Kristins? Christianes? Christys? Kirsties? Chrissys? Stewart sits at the front of the Oscar race, for her role as Princess Diana in Spencer. Sinema sits at the front of our legislature, for her role slashing Democratic spending on popular proposals. And beside Sinema in the Senate is Gillibrand. And beside Stewart in the Oscar race is Dunst. And I could go on. But do you know their names? Are you sure? Take the quiz below to find out.
