Q: I have always wanted to know how Maroon 5 got its name. I’m in love with the band.

Morgan Elayna, Rochester, N.Y.

You might be better off asking Carly Simon who You’re So Vain is about, because lead singer (and The Voice judge) Adam Levine and his Maroon 5 bandmates have a pact to never reveal the secret behind the name — although Levine did tell Billy Joel. The group’s first choice of a name, Kara’s Flowers, was inspired by a girl all the California school chums had a crush on back in the day.
