I wonder Stallman cringes when he reads this, probably once a month. I like to think he does.

Frankenstein references aside, the real name origin is kind of strange. Per Dr Pepper themselves:

Wade Morrison, the drug store owner, named it "Dr. Pepper" after Dr. Charles Pepper, a Virginia doctor who was the father of a girl Morrison was once in love with.
