Wild guess. Pick 2.
Andrew, George, James and Patrick.
They look like Saints names to me.

I'm stumped too. Imagine their last names, or the names of the other two, would likely give it away. Some first names have connections in my mind on many things, but not all of the 5 listed. Tried doing a search just on famous Stephens that I can think of, but and seeing a match on just one or two names, but not all 5. 7 is not enough for a list of Supremem Cour Justices. Tried tooking up the band Aerosmith since I knew of Stephen Tyler, but not the whole band - not getting the other hits. Tried to find more on the band members of Crosby Stills & Nash, but only finding David Crosby & Stephen Stills, 2 others, but no quick list on a search of supporting band members. Tried Colbert Report, never see the show, but wondered if other cast members - nothing matching anything like this.
A topic or field of interest (TV, Entertainment, Government, Racing, etc) would help at this point.
Any groups of 7 make the news lately?

Second wild stab.
They are all Kings.
Arthur and Henry.
They are all novelists or writers too.
Try Larry King.

The question is related to American history. One of the two missing names is Hiram.

The seven names are the answer to the question, "What were the first names by birth of Presidents who served, or who were commonly known, under names other than their first (or a variant of their first) and/or last names by birth?"
In the order they appeared in the thread, that would be:
Eisenhower (David Dwight)
Coolidge (John Calvin)
Cleveland (Stephen Grover)
Wilson (Thomas Woodrow)
Clinton (William Jefferson Blythe III)
Grant (Hiram Ulysses)
Ford (Leslie Lynch King, Jr.)

It says here on your birth certificate Leslie Lynch King, Jr. and you're saying you're Jerry Ford and have a handicap of 28? I don't buy it.
