Originally the band was called Fecal Matter, Poo Poo Box, and some other stupid names. On the night before one of the first concerts, Kurt Cobain watched a show on Buddism, in which, Nirvana is their heaven. He made that the permanent name even though they werent the first to use it.
Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic grew up in the same town, and met performing with various acts there. They picked up Dave Grohl later after a few other drummers. Pat Smear, their touring guitarist, found them later and ended up joining Foo Fighters after Kurt died.
