"Englebert Humperdinck" is another second-hand name.  Many people do not
seem to know that he was a semi-famous composer who worked around 1910.  
His most well-known work is the opera "Hansel & Gretel".  Whether the pop 
singer is related and/or was named after the first guy by his parents or just 
decided that it was a good name and should be used again I have no idea. 
It seems too great a coincidence that there should be two of them by chance.
