At first, Flyleaf wanted to be called Passerby, but someone had trademarked the name and wouldn't let them use it. They decided on Carbonflyleaf, but there was already a band called Carbonleaf (sp?). Finally, they presented the idea of just "Flyleaf" to their manager, and they got the name.
Flyleaf chose the name because a flyleaf is the blank pieces of paper at the beginning and ends of a book used in olden days to clear thoughts. They thought this was a good representation of the clarity you feel when you first meet God.
Since they are all Christian, though not a Christian band, they say that being a Christian affects their music and what they write.
No, Flyleaf is not a goth band.
The band Flyleaf came up with their name because a Flyleaf is a blank page before and after a book. Flyleaf's connection to it is that they think of a flyleaf as a beginning and end of a life, and with there song they're giving you the story of their lives, and their problems.
No, they haven't changed their name. Their new CD comes out in three days and has "Flyleaf" written on the cover. :)
The lead singer from Flyleaf is named Lacey Nicole Sturm. Her maiden name is Mosley.
Flyleaf signed with A&M/Octone in January of 2004 under the name Passerby. They changed their name to Flyleaf in June or July that same year.
