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.
The city was growing fast, and if you were a sitting politician or prominent businessman, you could have a street named for you, your friends and family.â Williams named âJohn R Rd.â himself. Stone said he also named some other ones. His daughter, Elizabeth, is the namesake for Elizabeth Street. Columbia Street is named after a street he lived on in Albany, New York, and Forest Street was named for his niece. âOne of the really neat parts about any street, any city are the street names that relate to its early history,â Stone said.
