Ron Tevernit isn't exactly a household name here, but those near the border may remember him from stations like WOMC in Detroit. He worked in radio for over 30 years and was looking for something to do after he retired. Now 75, Tevernit has filled his downtime by writing a book called "How The Heck Did They Get Those Names?" 

It reviews the origins of the monikers of some of the most famous artists from the 60s and 70s, including The Beatles, Chubby Checker and Conway Twitty. 

To be honest, the names revealed in the article below I already knew about, but I always find these kinds of origin stories interesting. 

“If you grew up listening to rock and roll music from the 50s, 60s and 70s, you might be interested to know how groups and singers from that era got their names,” said Tavernit in announcing the book’s release. “When I played their music, I became intrigued with how and why they selected those names and if it was actually them that picked them (in many cases it was not). The more research I did, the more interesting it became.”
