Brandy

Brandy Johnson-Scharpf is a American retired gymnast, gymnastics judge, stuntwoman and gymnastics coach. She owns Brandy Johnson's Global Gymnastics in Florida.

In Joan D. Vinge's story TIN SOLDIER, there is a male character called Branduin. Vinge has said that her story was inspired by the Looking Glass song "Brandy."

The song "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" is about a girl named Brandy who's a bartender in a harbor town. All the sailors tell her she'd make a good wife, but they can't marry her because "my life, my love and my lady is the sea." Sounds about right.

There's of course Brandy, the singer.
