replies: text: Though I don't know for sure, I very, very much doubt it.  Especially given his date of birth, I would much more expect him to have been named after Napoleon I than to be related to him.  Binabik80 18:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He was not born even close to the date of Bonaparte. He was also born nowhere near France. 98.197.88.142 (talk) 00:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He wouldn't have to be born "near France." People in Georgia have heard of Napoleon. Of more interest is the fact that Napoleon Bonaparte didn't take power until 1799 -- a year after Lamar was born. Before that, he was a successful general but not a ruler. Also, Lamar's name is spelled in the original Italian form, which is odd. What I've always wondered about, ever since 7th Grade Texas History, is: Where does the "Mirabeau" come from? --Michael K.

message: It's all well and good to talk about Lamar's being the father of education and what not, but it's kind of incomplete without including the Indian Clearance Policy issue don't you think? Genocide in any era is not very appealing.--CharlesHenryLeaFan (talk) 03:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

message: If director Mel Brooks read up on his early Texas history, Mirabeau Lamar may have been his inspiration for the archvillain of Blazing Saddles, Hedley Lamarr, who was the movie's corrupt Attorney General of Texas. The names of this first elected Governor of the Republic of Texas and actress Hedy Lamarr came together in Brooks' mind, in that case.---Heff01 (talk) 06:39, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
