OK, you Dr. Who fans. Let it be known that the parents of Tegan and Sara Quin did not name their daughters after the good doctor's companions.
"We get that question at least once a week," Tegan Quin said during a phone call from Alberta, Canada. "It just happened that we were named those names."
Likewise, Quin said the name of the band is Tegan & Sara only because they couldn't think of a good name on the spot.
