Well, not entirely *coincidentally* surely. But it is an interesting point.... which brings to mind BLONDIE. Debbie Harry was the (blonde) lead singer whom everybody assumed to be the "blondie'" of the group's name, but she constantly corrected interviewers that it was the name of the entire band, not just herself (and yes - obviously - they could have anticipated that when first deciding on a name...)
