It's perfectly valid. As is the similar answer that points out that one of the names has the same number of letters in first name and surname.
One might think your not accepting that answer is a weakness not of the answer, but of the question.
I can't even answer "because I have/haven't heard of [...]", as there are more than one names in each camp.

Stevie Nicks because the other names have initials which represent chemical elements.

Well spotted. Sn is the symbol for tin, however, so not the right answer.

OK, last try. Cheryl Ladd because CL is a gas and the others are metals. Never any good at chemistry...

Re: Odd One Out
That's close enough. Chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal whereas all of the others are metals.
