LOL When the "Bee Gees" first became popular, I kept calling them the "Gee Bees" out of habit.

I have always wondered if they got the idea for their name from the Gee Bee.


From their mother's name I think - Barbara Gibb if my memory still functions as per SOPs Wink Grin

I remember them saying that "Bee Gee" was derived from "Brothers Gib". However, why not Gee Bee for Gibbs Brothers?"
I then imagined that it was possible that they were familure with the "Gee Bee" but didn't want anyone to confuse them with the aircraft.
