After moving to Los Angeles, he became so engrossed in his band AXL that his friends suggested he call himself Axl Rose.[16][31] He legally changed his name to W. Axl Rose prior to signing his contract with Geffen Records in March 1986.

The "W" is just for plausible deniability!

(Joke, by the way. I knew the intended anagram.)
In the meantime I suggest to you that The Velvet Underground can be anagrammed as Vented Doughnut Lever.

I know this isn't quite the point but I've just realised Match of the Day is a pun on catch of the day— Sophie Hall (@SophLouiseHall) March 10, 2023

is it really though

Asking the same question, for a friend.

It kind it has to be, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense. It’s a weekly show
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 11 March 2023 15:31 (three years ago)
Doesn’t it go back to when they’d only show one match rather than highlights from everywhere.
― Dan Worsley, Saturday, 11 March 2023 15:35 (three years ago)
Might still be a play on catch of the day I suppose.
― Dan Worsley, Saturday, 11 March 2023 15:36 (three years ago)
It’s inconclusive to me.
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:01 (three years ago)
Even if it’s a weekly show, could mean the match they chose to show on that day, or the match they think you should watch on that day as opposed to other matches you could watch elsewhere.
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:02 (three years ago)
I guess if the three words “of the day” were not used other than in “catch of the day” then it would mean yes, it is a pun. You’ve convinced me, rabbit. I’ll look elsewhere in the city for puns.
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:05 (three years ago)
Seems like sometimes people make the pun go back in the other direction and say “catch of the day” instead of “match of the day.”

... the title was first used by the BBC for its Wimbledon tennis highlights programme in June 1964
― Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:25 (three years ago)
You couldn't watch any other matches when it started, it was the only football highlight show on Saturday nights - and it only showed one match, the match of the day.
― Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:29 (three years ago)
You couldn’t go watch a match in person?
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:38 (three years ago)
OF course, but it was the only place to watch football on TV on Saturday night - in England, that is, they didn't show it in Scotland for years.
― Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:44 (three years ago)
In my dialect, "match" and "catch" are near-rhymes at best.

I don’t think it’s a pun on the word “honeydew”

Not a pun, but I saw Night at the Museum for the first time, and just realized the title is not supposed to mean “A Night at the Museum” (it takes place over three nights!) and is instead “Nighttime at the Museum”i.e., it is not the story of one eventful night at the museum but instead an exploration of what happens to the museum at night
