Not all bands have had just just one band name over the length of their existence. Some of them started off with pretty horrible names, before settling on something better and getting famous. Here are several examples:

1. The Goo Goo Dolls: The Sex Maggots

2. Creed: Naked Toddler (WTH?)

3. The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem

4. Limp Bizkit: Blood Fart. (???)

5. Hannah Montana: Alexis Texas. They changed it because there's actually a PORN STAR with that name.

6. Van Halen: Rat Salad. It's actually the title of a Black Sabbath song.

7. Linkin Park: Xero

8. Finger Eleven: Rainbow Butt Monkeys

9. Nickelback: Village Idiot

10. Black Sabbath: Polka Tulk Blues Band

11. Green Day: Sweet Children

12. Destiny's Child: Girls Tyme

13. Outkast: 2 Shades Deep

14. The Beastie Boys: The Young Aborigines
