The name of the would-be band was decided upon rapidly: Goldie was the name by which Ravan's mother chose to call her after their arrival in the United States from post-war Poland, while gingerbread was a play on Ginger's name.
Navnet på det kommende band blev hurtigt opfundet: Goldie var det navn Genya Ravans mor havde givet hende efter at de var kommet til USA i forbindelse med efterkrigstiden i Polen, mens gingerbread var et spil på Gingers navn.
