    lots of bands misspell their names because they are easier to remember

    Many of them also misspell to “prove” how clever their wordplay is.

    Would the Beatles have been the Beatles if they’d been the Beetles? I think not.

    On the other hand, how many people would pay $300 per ticket to go see the Eegles?

    Meaninglessly creative orthography helps, too. How does Ď!$†Ø®§ĦŰИ grab you?

    John Doe and Billy Zoom originally called their punkabilly band The Ecchs, but the promoter misspelled the name on the posters for their debut concert, so they were stuck with X for the rest of their careers…
