It's nice that they named the other Kermit after him.

I heard that wasn't the case, but I think they named the Love Boat after him.

I guess you're right. I found his obituary, where it says that Kermit the Frog already had his name. Still, sometimes coincidence is stranger than intent.

If I ever get a little brother, I might name him Kermit the Dog. He would be named after Mr. Love, not the green guy.
