Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** David Wayne, their first vocalist, shares his name with a veteran actor from the black-and-white film era, with plenty of film credits from the 1950s.
** Mike Howe (the second vocalist) is also the name of one of the brothers (the other being Geoff), the owners of Howe and Howe technologies, a company that makes armoured, military-grade heavy machinery, and also the subject of a Creator/DiscoveryChannel TV show.
** They have a song called ''Blood Money'', which is the name of a song by an Australian alternative rock band known as, ironically, ''The Church'', and it is also the name of a very recent Bollywood film.
