The name "The Beatles" comes from the Marlon Brando movie "The Wild One". The name of Brando's gang was "The Beetles," causing the lads to change their names from "The Quarrymen" to the "Silver Beatles", and finally "The Beatles". John Lennon liked the name because it was the name of an insect, and it had 'beat' in it.
