probably. I don't think most people even realize the word play going on with the name.

@SW-User I'm sure they did. They started out in Liverpool, didn't they? Scousers are famous for their wordplay humour. Lol :)

The name is irrelevant they were the greatest band of their time!

@hertoy I just wondered if "Beetles" spelt like that would have put some people off them, that's all. Lol :)

@BijouPleasurette I don't think so...

@hertoy Maybe not. Lol :)

@mrbuddhawannabe They'd need a sex change for that. Lol :)

Ah whimsy.

@SW-User Is that a quotation - O King of Kings?

@AfternoonWine Not intentionally.
