The Beatles, the iconic English rock group, was formed in Liverpool, England in 1960. Though the band broke up in 1970 after a decade, 2 dozen studio albums, 13 EPs, countless singles, and millions of fans worldwide, their legend lives in the hearts of fans everywhre. If you are a Beatles fan, you might be considering a name for your new baby boy or girl that is inspired by the band or their extensive catalog of materials and music. From the name of the band members themselves to names which are a little less obvious (but no less Beatle-like), read on for 103 names inspired by the music and the band members themselves!
The Band
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr are probably the most obvious names when it comes to choosing a Beatles name for your child. You can use first names (like John or Paul), last names (like Starr and Harrison), or you could even adapt for your child's sex (Paula instead of Paul, Georgia instead of George). Ringo is the name that is probably the most unique out of the set and has a rock-and-roll sound to it because of the drummer behind the name.
The Songs
Some names clearly come from Beatles' songs. "Hey Jude" comes to mind immediately. This song, written for John Lennon's son Julian, is a widely popular and well-known song. Other names that come from song titles are: Bonnie (from an early song, "My Bonnie," recorded with Tony Sheridan), Georgia (from "Sweet Georgia Brown"), Penny and Lane (from the song "Penny Lane"), Lucy (from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"), Anna (from "Anna Go to Him"), Michelle (from the song simply called "Michelle"), Eleanor (from "Eleanor Rigby"), Robert (from "Doctor Robert"), Rita (from "Lovely Rita"), Maxwell (from "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"), Martha ("Martha My Dear" is the song this comes from) and Sadie (from "Sexy Sadie"), among quite a few others.
Other names come from within the songs themselves. McKenzie comes from the song "Eleanor Rigby," Jo Jo comes from "Get Back" and Desmond comes from "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,"
Beatles Inspired Names
And still other names have other sources. Apple, for example, is the name of the record company founded by The Beatles in 1968. Other names on our list have similar sources: Klein comes from Allen Klein, a record label executive and manager for the band; Asher comes from Jane Asher, a former fiancee of Paul McCartney and inspiration for several songs; VeeJay was the name of an early United States distributor of Beatles' albums and Stuart comes from Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bassist for the band.
