There is a widespred anecdote that "Plan 9"
name comes from the
movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space".
Since I didn't find anything more than a reference to this
anecdote (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs
for example), I forced myself to watch the movie until the end
(what a pain!).
Guess what? I couldn't find the link between the film and the
beloved OS.
I'm sure there are people here who know more. Thanks in advance
for sharing your knowledge with us.

Someone posted some pictures of the office area at Murray Hill to this
list. I seem to recall A plan 9 from outer space poster hanging.
