Why Name It That?: naming conventions

About This Site

What's in a name? Sometimes that is not obvious. On this site I look into curious names of bands, product names, people names, place names, titles, sports teams and the origins of any words and phrases that catch my interest. Band names are our most popular category -search by the first letter or number in a labels below or use the search bar at the top of the page to search the entire site.

Know an interesting story behind a name, word or band? Let me know and identify your information source (a web link is great) for confirmation.
