3625 1788 represents the name of a famous English singer and entertainer. Find it.
1926**5 1788 represents the name of a famous (U.S.) country music singer. Find it.

I recognize 1926**5 1788 as the late great LORETTA LYNN, who passed away 4 days ago.

This means that 3625 1788 is ?ERA LYNN, which can only be VERA LYNN.

2614860 is then REL?NE?, or RELINED.

861146 is NELLIE.
