Line #11 AerithAndBob/Music


1	Before we even start, this often happens in the music world when band members don't unanimously decide to adopt stage names. As such, you can end up with a lineup consisting of [[Music/TheBeatles John, Paul, George, and Ringo]].
2
3	'''AerithAndBob also has a Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease rule''' - so anything purely based on the musicians' real names isn't considered a valid example.
4	----

6	* In the Music/WeirdAlYankovic song [[Music/RunningWithScissors "Albuquerque"]], the narrator has two children, whom he names Nathaniel and Superfly. [[SurrealHumor It's that kind of song.]]
7	* Music/MarilynManson, in both music and band. The lineups combined people with the ThemeNaming of "sex symbol + serial killer" (Marilyn Manson, Twiggy Ramirez, Daisy Berkowitz, Madonna Wayne Gacy, Ginger Fish), a few stage names (John 5, Zim Zum), and otherwise normal names (Fred Sablan, Jason Sutter, Chris Vrenna, Tim Skold). The protagonists of the ''Holy Wood''/''Mechanical Animals''/''Antichrist Superstar'' (which were released in opposite order) are Adam, Omega (pronounced with a long e) and The Worm/Antichrist Superstar, with two major supporting characters (who may be one) named Coma Black and Coma White. At least Omega has the excuse of being a space alien.
8	* Music/KaizersOrchestra, whose songs tend to be set in Norway, use a lot of unusual names in their extensive lyrics MythArc, like Dominique, Constanze, Philemon, Clementin, Violeta... and Kenneth.
9	* The Music/{{Genesis\|Band}} album ''Music/TheLambLiesDownOnBroadway'' tells the story of the fictional street kid Rael and his brother John.
10	* Music/GeorgeFredericHandel's "Zadok the Priest"... and Nathan the Prophet? In fairness, it's based on the biblical passage 1 Kings 1:8, which names both of them ("But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.").
11	* Music/{{U2}} consists of Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry.
12	* Music/GreenDay: Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré. Which in turn provide a surname case in the same order, Armstrong, Dirnt and Cool.
13	* Music/{{Korn}}'s original lineup was Jonathan, Head, Munky, Fieldy, and David, the latter of which has since been replaced by Ray.
14	* Music/BlueOysterCult. Since only Donald Roeser took a stage name, you have Eric, Joe, Albert, Allen...and Buck Dharma.
15	* Music/{{Gorillaz}}’s well known lineup consists of Russell, Murdoc [[note]]Despite [[MyNaymeIs being misspelled of “Murdoch”]], his name is still uncommon[[/note]], 2D [[note]][[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname It’s just his stage name.]] His real name is Stuart[[/note]], and Noodle.
16	** The members [[OnlyOneName sans Noodle]] have surnames. Russell’s is Hobbes, 2D’s is Pot, and Murdoc’s is Niccals. The latter is [[MyNaymeIs Nichols misspelled]] and the middle isn’t really common.
17	* The original lineup of Music/GunsNRoses consisted of Axl, Music/{{Slash\|Musician}}, Izzy, Duff, and... Steve. And not only his replacement was Matt, but they took this further by [[SixthRanger adding]] Dizzy. The current one is half-and-half, Axl, Slash, Duff, Dizzy, Richard, Frank and Melissa.
18	* Music/TheGratefulDead in their original lineup consisted of Jerry, Bob, Phil, Bill... and Pigpen.
19	* Birth names version: Music/IronMaiden is [[Music/BruceDickinson (Paul) Bruce]], Steve, Dave, Adrian, Michael [[StageNames (a.k.a. Nicko)]]... and Janick.
20	* ProgressiveMetal band Music/NeObliviscaris' current lineup is Tim, Xenoyr, Matt, Cygnus, Dan, and Benjamin.
21	* Music/{{Slipknot}} for over 10 years consisted of DJ Starscream, Joey, Paul, Jim, Chris, Clown, 133, Mick, and Corey. To be fair, the formermost is still often called by his real name, Sid.
22	* Azari & III consisted of Dinamo Azari, Alixander III, Starving Yet Full, and [[OddNameOut Fritz Helder]].
23	* Courtesy of Music/DaftPunk, there's Guillaume Emmanuel "Guy-Manuel" de Homem-Christo... and Thomas Bangalter.
24	* Music/SuperJunior gives us Leeteuk, Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kibum, Kyuhyun, Zhou Mi... and Henry.
25	* Music/GirlsGeneration has Taeyeon, '''Jessica''', '''Sunny''', '''Tiffany''', Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, [=YoonA=] and Seohyun.
26	* KARA has Gyuri, Seungyeon, Hara, '''Nicole''' and Jiyoung.
27	* miss A: Fei, Jia, Min... and '''Suzy'''.
28	** Suzy's name is Bae Soo-ji. In Korean, Suzy is pronounced "soo-ji", and is meant to be an exotic spelling of a fairly common Korean name. BilingualBonus: From a Korean point of view, '''Fei''' is the odd one out. All the other names are possible in Korean.
29	* Music/{{Pristin}} has Nayoung, Minkyung, Kyungwon, Eunwoo, Yebin, Yewon, Siyeon, Sungyeon, '''Kyla''' and '''Jieqiong'''
30	* Music/{{MOMOLAND}}: There's the Korean names you'd expect - Hyebin, Yeonwoo, Nayun, Ahin, Taeha - then very European sounding names like Daisy, Jane, and Nancy. The true oddball is [=JooE=]
31	* Before they added a fifth member, Music/{{Red Velvet}} could boast the rarely-seen reverse example: Joy, Wendy, Irene and '''Seulgi'''. These days they also have a Yeri.
32	* With the sheer amount (and slowly increasing every year) of members Music/{{NCT}} have, they have a wide diversity of names. There's Taeil, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Ten, Jaehyun, [=WinWin=], Jungwoo, Xiaojun, Hendery, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, [=YangYang=], Chenle, Jisung... and '''Johnny, Mark, and Lucas'''
33	* Music/{{GOT7}} has three foreign members so we have a Mark and Jackson with JB, Jinyoung, Youngjae, [=BamBam=] and Yugyeom
34	* Music/ThePolice members’ names are Andy, Stewart, and… [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Sting]][[note]]real name is Gordon[[/note]].
35	* In Roy Zimmerman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZmK5Qd071U Christmas on Mars]], the martians say "Merry Christmas" to "little Meggadedeck, and Hackananack and Lars".
36	* The electronic quartet Bond has this, on one side you have Tania and Elspeth (a version of Elizabeth), and on the other side, you have Eos and Gay-Yee.
37	* American punk band X's members include Exene Cervenka and John Doe.
38	* In ''Music/DestinysChild'', there's Music/{{Kelly\|Rowland}}, Michelle and Music/{{Beyonce}}. However, Kelly's full name is Kelendria and Michelle's real name is Tenitra. Also true with the original band members, which were Beyonce, [=LaTavia=], [=LeToya=], and Kelly.
39	* Music/{{Macklemore}} and Ryan Lewis.
40	* Music/PearlJam: Eddie, Mike, Jeff, Matt (preceded by Dave and Jack)... and Stone. [[SixthRanger Guest keyboardist]] Boom (which unlike Stone Carpenter Gossard, is a StageName for Kenneth) too.
41	* Swedish ElectronicMusic band Little Dragon has Erik Bodin, Fredrik Källgren Wallin, and Håkan Wirenstrand fronted by Japanese-American-Swedish singer Yukimi Nagano.
42	* Music/AvengedSevenfold, following the death of original drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. M. Shadows (Matt Sanders), Synyster Gates (Brian Haner), Zacky Vengeance (Zachary Baker), and Johnny Crist (Jonathan Seward) now share the stage with Brooks Wackerman, which is his real name. Prior to Wackerman, Arin Ilejay (also his real name) played the drums as The Rev's first full-time replacement.
43	* Music/TheMarsVolta: The album ''Frances the Mute'' tells the story of Frances, her mother Miranda... and her sister L'via.
44	* The first sentence of Website/TheOtherWiki page for Music/SkunkAnansie lists their four members: Skin, Cass, Ace and Mark Richardson.
45	* Music/DragonForce has this as a result of being a MultinationalTeam. Its current lineup consists of Marc, Frédéric, Herman, Vadim, Sam, and Gee. Past members include ZP, Adrian, and Dave.
46	* Music/HollywoodUndead is Charlie Scene, Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog, Funny Man and Danny.
47	* White Zombie's classic lineup was John, Jay, Sean, and Rob -- [[Music/RobZombie Zombie]], that is.
48	* Music/BloodStainChild. At one point, the Japanese electronic metal band was comprised of Ryo, Ryu, G.S.R., Aki, Gami, and Sophia. The lattermost is justified because she isn't actually Japanese, she's [[TokenWhite Greek]].
49	* Music/TVOnTheRadio has Tunde, Kyp, Jaleel, and David as it's current lineup.
50	* Music/LimpBizkit's classic lineup is Fred, Wes, Sam, John, and DJ Lethal. Interestingly, even if he used his real name it'd still be an example, as his real name is '''Leor'''.
51	* Music/AxelRudiPell's lineup is currently Axel, Johnny, Ferdy, Volker, and Bobby.
52	* Music/{{Deftones}}' current members are Chino, Stephen, Abe, Frank, and Sergio. Past members include Chi, Dominic, and John.
53	* Music/FiveFingerDeathPunch: Ivan, Jeremy, Jason, Chris, and '''''Zoltan'''''.
54	* In the world of EDM, many producers favor cool-sounding stage names like Music/{{Skrillex}}, Music/{{Deadmau5}}, Music/{{Zedd}}, and DJ Snake. These people often play in the same festivals alongside other producers named Music/CalvinHarris, Music/DavidGuetta, Steve Aoki, and Music/PorterRobinson.
55	* Music/{{Pendulum\|Band}}'s current roster is Rob, Gareth, Peredur, and KJ. Joining them on live shows are Ben and El Hornet.
56	* Music/SwedishHouseMafia was Steve, Sebastian, and Axwell.
57	* Music/TheProdigy: Liam, Keith, and Maxim. It's {{Justified\|Trope}} somewhat since the latter is [[OneSteveLimit also named Keith]]. They also had two other live members who have since left named Leeroy and Sharky.
58	* Music/{{Hacktivist}} was originally J, Ben, Richard, Josh, and Timfy James. Ben has since left, and was replaced with '''''Jot'''''.
59	* Prophets of Rage: [[Music/PublicEnemy Chuck D]], [[Music/CypressHill B-Real]], DJ Lord, [[Music/RageAgainstTheMachine Tom, Tim, and Brad]].
60	* Banks & Steelz is [[Music/{{Interpol}} Paul Banks]] and [[Music/WuTangClan the RZA]].
61	* Music/{{Songdrops}}: In "The Name of My Frog", some of the pets have [[ADogNamedDog species names]] (Dr. Hog, Bunny, Rat), while some have normal names (Bob, Francis).
62	* Music/RedHotChiliPeppers are Anthony, Chad, John (previously Josh), and... Flea. Among the ones who recorded albums, the only equally unusual name was Hillel.
63	* Superorganism consists of Orono "OJ" Noguchi, Mark David "[[GenderBlenderName Emily]]" Turner, Christopher "Harry" Young, Timothy "Tucan Taylor Michaels" Shann, Blair "Robert Strange" Everson, and three people with undisclosed identities who go by Ruby, B and Soul.
64	* The members of N.E.R.D are Chad, Shae, and Pharrell.
65	* The four members of the group Surrounded By Idiots are DJ Timmy Tam, Magoo, Magnum, the Verblord... and Larry Live.
66	* Perry Como's 1959 hit song "Delaware" is a bunch of puns based on state names. You have normal, pretty girl's names like Della, Callie, and Flora, but also names like Ore and Wiscon, the only male names are Arkan and Tenna.
67	* Music/CabCalloway's "Everybody Eats When They Come to My House" rhymes every food item with a person's name. This works out fine for some (salami/Tommy, banana/Hannah) but not as well for others (pancake/Mandrake, bagel/Fagel).
