Default Fancy & funny names & people in music

So there's a lot of fancy and funny names in music, both stage names and real names. Let's discuss the embarassing ones as well as the good ones! Please include some kind of information about the person too, just in case it's not appearant who you're talking about.


One name that I thought was funny is Steve Peregrin Took.

Steve was born Stephen Ross Porter, but at some stage in his life he must've become slightly obsessed with the lord of the rings and changed his name to that of one of the Hobbit characters from Tolkien's masterpiece. Steve was an early member of T.Rex alongside Marc Bolan. Unfortunately, he died in 1980 while high on shrooms and morphine by choking on a c-ocktail cherry. Had he been alive today, maybe he would've been a proud contender for the cheesiest name award.

So, who's next?
