Best Answer

Yes, although their original line-up did not include Ringo Starr but a friend of Paul McCartney's from Liverpool College of Art called Stuart Sutcliffe. It was he who suggested that they change their original name of The Quarrymen to The Beatles in 1960, but left the band the following year to continue with his art studies.

He died in Hamburg in April 1962 of a brain aneurysm, at the age of only 21. He is sometimes referred to as the 'fifth Beatle'.
