Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember a Cadilac commercial "lease a Catera" ending with "Just who is Lisa Catera?" Might be the source of inspiration.
"In 1997, John Tinker, a producer of television medical drama Chicago Hope, was inspired by an inadvertent pun in a Catera commercial, saying "Who is Lisa Catera?" — in response to the Catera tagline "Lease a Catera." He introduced a character named Dr. Lisa Catera, played by Stacy Edwards."
That just reminded me of a local story. One of the local news anchors name is Lisa Thomas-Laury. 20 or 30 years ago they were in London and filmed a bus with an ad on the side saying 'Lease a Thomas Lorry' Lorry being the British word for what we in the States call trucks. I may not have the story exactly correct as in it may not have been a bus ad but the important details are correct.

Yup. When they said it it always sounded like a woman’s name. I think they added the “…who is…” when they realized their mistake.
