<![CDATA[What are some clever band/artist names?]]>Third Eye Blind popped into my head this morning and I always thought their name was pretty clever. I started thinking about a few others I like and got stuck on "modified birth names"

City & Colour - stage name of Dallas Green

Corto Alto - stage name for Liam Shortall (Corto Alto means "short tall" in Spanish)

Dora Jar - stage name for Dorothy Jar (door ajar)

I don't love when artists pick names based on other artists, though. I love Chet Faker's music but wish he stuck with Nick Murphy.

Are there any that you really like?

[Edit] Please explain why you think a name is clever! I've looked up the origins of the unfamiliar names getting posted but I'm definitely missing what's clever about some of them
