1 Originally named The Beetles they changed their name to The Beatles as a pun for beat music which is another name for Rock 'n' Roll What member of the Beatles is responsible for changing the sp?
The Beatles were never known as the Beetles. However, they were known as The Beatals, Johnny and the Moondogs, Long John and The Beetles, and The Silver Beatles. John probably changed the name, but Paul said he suggested it. But John did say a man on a flaming pie came to him in a vision, telling him to change the name. No one really knows, because this was a long time ago, and John and George are dead.

Are beatles insects?
Beatles (with an "A") is the name of the very (probably most) successful rock band. They were named after the insects - the members were fans of the Crickets and Stu Sutcliffe suggested Beetles and John Lennon changed the spelling to fit in with the "beat" music image.

Originally, when the group first came together in 1957, they were a skiffle group called "the quarrymen" This was before however ringo start was there drummer. After that they changed there name again to the "silver beetles". This name was short lived and the word "silver was dropped to leave the spelling "beetles".

Why did john Lennon name the band the beatles?
It may have been early member Stuart Sutcliffe who came up with "The Beetles" as the name; all the members were fans of the Crickets and Lennon liked the double meaning - the musical insect and the English game of cricket. The Beetles probably came as a "homage" to the crickets - Lennon changed the spelling to Beatles as a pun on the "beat" music they played.

How many names did the Beatles have before they settled on The Beatles?
They had two (or possibly three) names before they became the Beatles. Way before the Beatles were famous, they were teenagers playing in a band called The Quarrymen; this name came from a local high school the band members attended. (Note that the lineup of the Quarrymen was not the same as what ultimately became the Beatles, although it was started by John Lennon. Paul McCartney joined the band in 1957 and George Harrison in 1958. Ringo Starr was not a member of that band.) When the Quarrymen traveled to Germany, they added a new member (Stu Sutcliffe) and changed to the Silver Beetles, although some sources say they were first called the Beatals. The spelling of Silver Beetles became Silver Beatles, and then finally, the band settled on The Beatles sometime in 1960.
What was the date of the time that The Silver Beatles got changed to The Beatles?

Who was the member of the Beatles that was also in quarrymen?
John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison were all in "The Quarrymen" before the name of the band went through a series of changes in 1960 and eventually evolved into "The Beatles". It is said that Stu Sutcliffe (bass) was the one who suggested the name "The Beatles" and played a few rehearsals with "The Quarrymen" in early 1960 before the name was changed to "The Silver Beetles". Drummer Pete Best was asked to join The Beatles in August 1960 after "The Quarrymen" name ceased to exist.
