Just an FYI, you do know that the Virgin Group has been around a lot longer than the airline company right?

The brand name "Virgin" arose when Branson and a partner were starting their first business, a record shop. They considered themselves virgins in business.

It is a very British story so most of us in the UK probably know the success story a lot better.

Yes. I've read a couple of books by Sir Branson. Virgin Airlines was used by Igor Branding agency in their naming guide of something that somebody might object even if Virgin prefix is an obvious choice for any Branson's company

Yes, I totally get your point. A bit of a double edged sword really!
