Some band played at some place and some guy thought they sounded good. He asked someone what the name of the band was but he couldn't hear the reply. It sounded like the (gibberish). "The Who?" he asked back. Everyone thought that was a better name so they changed their name to The Who.

While the members were trying to decide on their band name, their drummer decided to fix himself a bowl of applesauce. Motts brand, of course. Their bassist noticed this and asked him what kind of gooey sludge it was and what brand. The drummer answered 'Motts, it's Apple.' But his mouth was full and it came out as 'Mott the Hoople.' The others liked it and it stuck.

A group of people were playing a gig in the fall, at a back to school festival at the local college/university. One of the never fans liked their music and wanted to know more about the group. She asked, "When did you all start playing together?" The lead singer answered, quite simply, "Last Winter."

On the night of their first gig, it was coincidently laundry day for all the members of the band. As a result, the only clean articles of clothing in their respective closests were plain white t-shirts. And the rest, as they say, is history.

While sitting in the parking lot of a local sporting goods store, they saw a guy dressed up like a baseball running towards the store. He had been standing out on the corner all day, advertising, and apparently needed to use the bathroom very badly. They thought it was funny and the name stuck.

There was once a young prince who was cursed into becoming a soul-sucking incubus. Only music could save him. Finally, he formed a band. The spell was broken and he became human. On a whim, he decided to name his band Incubus after his curse.

They were all a big fan of the Yardbirds, but didn't want to completely rip off they're favorite band. They were originally going to call themselves The Birds, but changed the spelling to Byrds to be less obvious.

The members of the band were the last five surviving members of a shipwreck. They tried to make that their gimmick and call themselves "The Marooned Five". However the record company rep rightfully assumed that most of the general public were too dumb to know what the word "marooned" meant and shortened the name to "Maroon 5"

In an extraordinary coincidence, all the members of the band experience temporary dyslexia only when they count. As a result, they gave themselves that interesting moniker.

The band's name comes from a favorite dirty joke of theirs. I can't go into details without causing mental scarring to the uninitiated.

The band was inspired by an encounter with a group of angry friars attempting to spread Christianity in a third-world country.

Growing up as kids they always had things dragging them down. The worst ones were their mothers. When they were talking of their mothers in their earshot they used "The main drag" to describe them. The band name is a tirbute to their mothers
