With the demise of the Oldsmobile brand from the General Motors lineup several years ago, the current generation may not even realize that Oldsmobile was just one of several successful ventures created by Ransom Eli Olds.

That reminds me that the country band Diamond Rio was named after the truck company Diamond Reo. They changed the spelling of Reo --> Rio to avoid any legal issues.

The Polka Tulk Blues Band was named after a brand of talcum powder that Ozzy's mom used.
Obviously, they later became Black Sabbath (named after the 1963 Boris Karloff movie).
