Pickett
Pickett is a surname, most notably associated with George Pickett, the Confederate general whose failed charge at Gettysburg became synonymous with doomed military assaults.
Pickett's Charge now serves as shorthand for any bold but catastrophic attack.
The name also belongs to Wilson Pickett, the American soul singer known for "Mustang Sally" and "In the Midnight Hour."
