Hi folks,

How did Johnny Thunders and Ween arrive at their names? I figured that someone on this list would know off the cuff and I wouldn't have to Google it (I know, lazy F am I).
 I ask about Thunders because I just finished the excellent biography on 
Sam Cooke entitled "Dream Boogie", written by Peter Guralnick (much easier 
read than Chronicles for me, since fiction didn't enter into the 
narrative). In there, they mention a singer from Florida (I think) who 
went by the name Johnny Thunder.
Probably the Loop-De-Loop one. There are also a couple of comic book 
characters by that name, as well as a Kinks song.
