The Silver Beetles - The Beatles Wiki The Silver Beetles was one of the earlier band names before The Beatles. John Lennon wanted a name that sounded English. He wanted The Crickets, but Paul McCartney, laughing, said, "I think that's already taken."It was Stuart Sutcliffe who suggested they call themselves The Silver Beatles.
This is all so confusing.
