In early August 1960 John Lennon age 19, Paul McCartney age 18, George Harrison age 17 and Stuart Sutcliffe age 20 and new drummer Pete Best age 18 made the final name change to the Beatles.
George was only about 15 years old, John about 17, Paul about 16, and Ringo about 18. The ages aren't exact but if it's off it should only be off by about 1 maybe 2 years.

How old were the Beatles when they came together? They where in there teens.
The band that became the Beatles started as a school band in 1957 by John Lennon when he was 16. Paul in August of that year, and George in 1958 - at that point, John was 18, Paul was 16 and George 15.
Two of the Beatles are still alive, so there are only two you can ask how old they were. George Harrison died at age 58. John Winston Lennon was shot at age 40.
Hmm... John was 16/17 when he started the "band", and Paul joined when he was 15. George joined as well, as the youngest, at the age of 14. They were "The Quarrymen", though.
He enjoyed go-carting in the early Beatles days.

The Bootleg Beatles are a tribute band and they began playing together as a band in March 1980. They were formed after a Broadway musical which was called Beatlemania.
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.
