OK, here is a bit of useless Beatles history, note the spelling Tim, They started as the Quarrymen but John Lennon wanted to change that to the Crickets, Paul McCartney pointed out that the The Crickets was already in use by another rather famous American group, so they chose another name, The Silver Beetles, that name was used in the early days when playing in Hamburg, the Silver prefix was dropped and just the Beetles was mooted, John changed that idea to the Beatals, capitalising on the word Beat but then changed to the The Beatles. I am not really that sad to know all that, I lifted the info off the net.
