Here is why TSO has the name they do as explined by Paul O'neill himself during an intervierw.

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is neither from Siberia nor an

orchestra. So how did the entourage get its name?

"We had just turned in the first album and Atlantic Records was pressuring us for a name," group co-founder Paul O'Neill says. "I got a phone call from Atlantic saying the album was going to print the following morning and that if we did not come up with a band name they were going to call it Billy and the Boingers and we would have to live with it.

"In the 1980s, I was fortunate enough to have been in Russia. If anyone has ever seen Siberia, it's incredibly beautiful but

incredibly harsh and unforgiving. And the one thing everybody has in common there is the Trans-Siberian Railroad that moves across it in relative safety.

"Life, too, can be incredibly beautiful but also incredibly harsh

and unforgiving. Music is the one thing we all have in common that moves across it in relative safety. So we decided to call the band Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It was a little philosophical but we liked the initials, TSO, and the fact that it was different. And it still sounded good in the morning."
