And this is actually exactly where the name “Led Zeppelin” came from. One of the members was told “your band will take off like a lead zeppelin.” Basically saying it would never get off the ground. So they made that the band name, changing it to “led” to avoid it being mispronounced.

Reminds of the story of Mark Knopfler and his band ... one of their friends saw how they were living at the time and said they looked like they were in dire straits .... and the stories of Mark go on when he recounted coming across a band name on one of their early traveling shows and saw the name 'The Sultans Of Swing' at a bar.
