No one is quite sure where the name Beatles originated, though the most
likely story is that John Lennon liked the name The Crickets after Buddy
Holly's band. Early band member Stuart Sutcliff suggested "Beetles", and
they were for some time known as The Silver Beetles or, occasionally, Long
John and the Silver Beatles before becoming the Beatles. The Beetles were
also a rival gang in Marlon Brando's movie The Wild One, which may have also
been an influence. John Lennon is usually credited with changing the
spelling to Beatles to reflect Beat music and the Beat generation.
