- Trivia Bonus: Pearl Jam was originally called Mookie Blaylock, after an NBA player. "Ten" Connection: Their debut album, "Ten," was named after Mookie Blaylock's jersey number. The name "Pearl Jam" came about after the band attended a Neil Young concert where he extended his songs into long, improvised "jams." "Pearl" was suggested by bassist Jeff Ament. "Jam" was added to reflect the extended, improvisational nature of Young's performance that night.
