Not so much named, but Wakko from The Animaniacs cartoon, voice was model after John Lennon's. I didn't find that out until this past Monday. Again, another I did not connect with off the bat.

Didn't one of them have a Ringo voice?

Around '83 when I was enamoured of Tangerine Dream, I read somewhere that they took their name from "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", and I remember being briefly unsure whether I'd been mishearing the "Tangerine trees..." lyric all along! I'm still not sure whether I just read incorrect information, or whether they took the "Tangerine" from that lyric and the "Dream" from elsewhere. (Or hmm, maybe they just misheard the lyric themselves, English not being their first language after all.)

There's a Dutch band called Rigby. I think you can guess where they got their name from.

All up and down Matthew Street (where the Cavern is) there are bars, shops, cafés and even a hotel to do with The Beatles (Hard Day´s Night Hotel, rooms starting at something like £500 a night!). I think there´s a Lennon´s bar and a place called Rubber Soul as well.

Although it´s to be expected, I think it´s a bit pathetic how people try and earn money so much from The Beatles name.

Yep. Liam named his son Lennon. Jesus, his kids are really butt ugly, just like their father.

A Dutch DJ named his son Lennon too.

I think a Gallagher from Oasis named his son Lennon.

Me too. I use to think it was a random name like My Chemical Romance, but it made more sense after MMT.

That was exactly what I thought when I first watched it! I was like ''Oooooh, that's where they got that strange name from''

The band Death Cab For Cutie got their name from the song with the same name by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band after having watched Magical Mystery Tour.

I watched MMT with my mom recently,and when she heard the song, the first thing she said was, "Isn't Death Cab for Cutie a band?"

Not named after the Beatles BUT defnitely related:

The band Death Cab For Cutie got their name from the song with the same name by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band after having watched Magical Mystery Tour.

And I haven't even mentioned the 2 shows in Holland yet! We have this show called All You Need Is Love, which is about people who send in a letter with a story and then they're getting reunited with their loved one or can apologize for something or whatever. It's really emotional sometimes and they go all over the world to find them. The theme song used ...

My youngest sons name is Dhani...

I´ve always thought that if I have a son then I´ll call him George

If I have a son I'm going to name him Harrison.

Paul used to call himself Paul Ramon right? Apparently the Ramones got their name from that.

And I THINK the band Hello Goodbye got their name from the song. Apparently they covered some Beatles and John Lennon stuff so it just has to be!
