<Li> Burzum--Means "darkness" in Tolkien's black speech . </Li> <Li> Butthole Surfers--The band, who previously changed their name at every gig, was performing an earlier version of 1984's "Butthole Surfer" when the announcer forgot the band's name and used the title of the song instead . They were forced to keep this name after the performance hit fame . </Li> <Li> Buzzcocks - The band took their name from a Time Out review of the 1976 T.V. show Rock Follies with the headline "It's the Buzz, Cock!" (Cock was slang for "mate".) The band members liked the subversiveness of it . </Li> <Ul> <Li> Cake--Rather than referring to the foodstuff, the name is meant to be "like when something insidiously becomes a part of your life...(we) mean it more as something that cakes onto your shoe and is just sort of there until you get rid of it". </Li> <Li> Cansei de Ser Sexy--Portuguese for "tired of being sexy", an alleged quote of Beyoncé Knowles, one of the largest musical influences upon this Brazilian band . </Li> <Li> Carach Angren--From Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, named after a pass in Mordor (Carach Angren means "Iron Jaws" in Elvish). </Li> <Li> Cheap Trick--inspired by the band's attendance of a Slade concert, where bassist Tom Petersson commented that the band used "every cheap trick in the book" as part of their act . </Li> <Li> Childish Gambino--Donald Glover used a Wu - Tang Clan name generator in his sophomore year of college at NYU; inputting his real name and coming up with Childish Gambino . </Li> <Li> Children of Bodom--After being told by Spinefarm Records that the band's name had to change (the group was initially signed on to another label under the name Inearthed), the group looked through a local phone book to search for inspiration, coming across Lake Bodom . The band, like most of Finland, was already aware of the unsolved triple murder which occurred at the lake, claiming the lives of three camping teenagers . The band believed they had found an impacting name with an interesting story behind it, and so chose the name Children of Bodom . Many of their songs have also been named after the murders, such as "Lake Bodom", "Silent Night, Bodom Night", "Children of Bodom" and "Bodom After Midnight". </Li> <Li> Chevelle--Named after the car . </Li> <Li> Chvrches--Pronounced "churches," the band decided on the spelling to distinguish themselves in internet searches . </Li> <Li> Cirith Ungol--Named after the "Pass of the Spider" in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings . </Li> <Li> Coldplay--The band were called "Starfish" originally and a friend's group was called "Coldplay". When they did not want the name anymore, "Starfish" asked if they could use it instead . The original Coldplay took the name from a book of collected poems called Child's Reflections: Cold Play . </Li> <Li> Crass--A reference to the David Bowie song "Ziggy Stardust" (specifically the line "The kids was just crass"). </Li> <Li> Creed--Originally known as Naked Toddler, the band changed its name to Creed at bassist Brian Marshall's suggestion, after a band he had previously played for called Mattox Creed . </Li> <Li> Creedence Clearwater Revival--The band took the three elements from, firstly, Tom Fogerty's friend Credence Newball (to whose first name Credence they added an extra' e', making it resemble a faith or creed); secondly, "clear water" from a TV commercial for Olympia beer; and finally "revival", which spoke to the four members' renewed commitment to their band . </Li> <Li> Crime--The band was originally The Space Invaders who looked glam, but played primitive original material in the garage . They turned to a JV look and shortened the name to The Invaders . Tony Greene, who published a short lived SF punk zine No Exit convinced them to change their name to Crime . </Li> <Li> Crush 40--Lead singer Johnny Gioeli explained to Gareth Spriggs (aka Fastest Thing Alive) at Summer of Sonic' 10 that he never wanted to turn 40 years old, hence the name Crush 40, because he wanted to "Crush 40". The name is also a reference to Crush soda, guitarist Jun Senoue's favorite brand of soft drink . </Li> <Li> The Cure--The band's original name was Easy Cure, which was taken from the name of one of the group's early songs . The name was later shortened to The Cure because frontman Robert Smith felt the name was too American and "too hippyish". </Li> <Li> ° C - ute (Cute)--The Japanese girl group was named by its producer Tsunku . According to him and the band's official website, the English word cute means "(little and) lovely, pretty". Wanting to somehow express the girls' overflowing fervor (enthusiasm), he substituted "° C" for "C". </Li> </Ul>
