In chronological order, the names that band went through were "The Black Jacks", "The Quarrymen", "Johnny and the Moondogs", "The Silver Beetles", "Long John and the Silver Beetles" and the "The Beatles".

"The Beatles"
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.
