Here's a fun list explaining the genesis of band names. Some real, some rumoured.
"BEASTIE BOYS - According to Michael Diamond, BEASTIE stands for Boys Entering Anarchistic Stages Towards Internal Excellence.
WEEZER - Band member Rivers Cuomo had the nickname Weezer in school because of a breathing problem.
YO LA TENGO - translates to "I have it" from Spanish - said to be the phrase called out by Hispanic baseball players when fielding a pop fly ball. Singer/guitar player Ira Kaplan got the expression from a book he was reading about baseball called The Five Seasons."
