Best Answer

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.

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.


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.


Who was founder of The Beatles?

John Lennon would be considered to be the founder of the Beatles. John Lennon formed the Quarrymen with some school friends in March, 1957. Paul McCartney joined in July and George Harrison joined in February, 1958. In 1960, the name varied from the Beatals, the Silver Beetles and the Silver Beats, the name focussing on variations of the word "Beat". Later in 1960, a slip of the tongue announced the band as the Beetles, which soon became the Beatles. Ringo Starr joined in September 1962 and the rest is history.
