Where did Pearl Jam get their name? Thereâs a lot of misinformation on this subject, most of it gleefully spread by the band. For example, despite Eddie Vedderâs repeated claims, he did not have a great-grandmother Pearl who married a Native American and cooked up jam with peyote as an ingredient. And although the band was originally named Mookie Blaylock, after the star NBA point guard, âPearl Jamâ was not his nickname. (They changed their name to avoid legal problemsâbut Ten, the title of their debut, was Blaylockâs jersey number.) The band also doesnât seem to have intended their name to refer to semen.
Pebbles, whose real name is Susan Semedo, was given her radio nickname while at WILD in the 1980s. Program Director Elroy Smith told her she needed a radio-friendly name, and gave her three choices: Pebbles, Gypsy, or Asia. She chose Pebbles because, at the time, R&B singer Perri Pebbles Reid was popular for the song Mercedes Boy. It kind of had a buzz around the name, which is good, Pebbles told the Boston Globe in 2006. Achievements The Ramiro & Pebbles Morning Show was awarded Best Morning Show by Cityvoter.com in January 2011.
