beatles quarrymen
why were the Beatles originally called The Quarrymen?
I’m doing a project on the Beatles, and my teacher wants to know why they changed there name from the Quarrymen to The Beatles? I can’t find it on Wikianswers and Wikipedia or google… So does anyone know why?
They were originally called the Quarrymen because most of the band members had attended Quarry Bank Grammar School.
Basically they changed the name several times do to the constant change of band members. They were known as the Silver Beetles before they changed it to the Beatles.
Here’s a couple usefull links explaining how they got the name and why they changed it:

I found it very easily on Google by typing in 2 words (Quarrymen Beatles). Maybe you’re just too lazy to do your own research. You better look fast, I may delete this answer on a whim.
