Examples?

If both exist then that means my dream case name Virgin v. Chad is possible!

"Chad" is typically a first name, so it doesn't often appear in the case name, but there's been a handful of cases involving parties where "Chad" is part or all of the name. The only one where a party appears only as "Chad" is Chad v. City of Ft. Lauderdale, 66 F. Supp. 2d 1242 (N.D. Fla. 1998), a class-action brought by a lead plaintiff named Mark Chad.

There have been a handful of cases where plaintiffs sued defendants whose names included "Chad," such as Avoki v. Chad's Body Shop (a South Carolina towing service), Torres v. Chad Youth Enhancement Center (a Tennessee psychiatric center), and Sheet Metal Workers Int'l Ass'n Local 18 v. Chad's HVAC LLC (a Wisconsin HVAC contractor). I also found an in rem case brought against the M/V Chad G. and a suit brought by a dissatisfied renovation contractor against the Permanent Mission of Chad to the United Nations.

There's been lots of cases involving the government of the Virgin Islands, but assuming that's not what you're looking for, there was a recent case in Wyoming called Virgin Enters. Ltd. v. Virginic LLC, as well as a handful of cases involving various Richard Branson companies. Again, not a common surname, but there have been at least one case. In Virgin v. United States, 165 F.2d 81 (4th Cir. 1947), a man named Robert Virgin brought a Jones Act claim against the United States for injuries suffered aboard a steamship.
