namesake

Giant Pacific octopuses inhabit the waters of their namesake ocean from Southern California to Alaska.

The custom Fender Telecaster guitar, named the Vedder Cup, is said to have been played by its namesake for “about an hour” before it was shipped off to T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

“Amelie” is defined by its namesake character’s sweetness and her mission to bring joy to strangers, but that drive is the result of a life spent in isolation.

His father both supported his troubled son and chastised his namesake, whose struggles included substance abuse, legal troubles and challenges in making weight for his bouts.

The spiky succulents are revered for their cultural import, having inspired both a namesake national park and a U2 album.
