In her book The Kennedy Chronicles, former MTV VJ Kennedy claimed that the song "Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls was actually about her complicated relationship with Rzeznik, with the lyrics referring to their time together and her full name being a secret to most. Rzeznik admitted to the inspiration in the book, saying "I was trying to capture a moment...it was pretty interesting to have a song inspired by a moment. And I thought it was a very sweet song."
