Doug, if I have it right, at least 3 of us (Jim, Dave, and I) named The Avengers.

I will recheck; it’s possible, but maybe in the “not in the top 15” lists?

Doug, I might be misreading things, but I can send what I found to you directly.
 
Of course, Jim and Dave may have a view as to whether I am misquoting them.  But my conversations with them about The Avengers go back decades.

As I have already written Doug, I now believe Jim and I named The Avengers, but Dave did not.
 
Dave, I hope the Muse will forgive you.

I dont recall my list offhand , but I did watch that show from Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg, Linda Thorson and Joanna Lumely (later, as Purdy)

A bit of "alleged" trivia. When Diana Rigg was cast for her part, they wanted to find someone who would appear sexy, and have "masculine appeal". Allegedly, someone used a spoof on that for her name as she had M" appeal, hence he thought Emma Peel.
Much like Elizabeth Montgomery as cousin Serena, who's name was credited as Pandora Spocks (Pandoas Box).
 
I'm not kidding. I read this long before the internet. 😊
