The band thought they were above average so allegedly called themselves 10 CC

Pop Will Eat Itself took their name from an interview with the band Jamie Wednesday 2 of whom later became Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Carter took their name because Les 'fruitbat' Carter was in those days quite literally an unstoppable sex machine |

"Led Zeppelin were named as when the members first formed a music journalist said they would crash lije a led balloon  "
I think it might have been Keith Moon from The Who who said they would ‘go down like a lead zepplin’. They changed the spelling from ‘Lead’ to ‘Led’ to make sure people said it right.
Fairport Convention were so called because they covened in one of the bands parents’ house called ‘Fairport’.

"Joy Division named after Nazi slang for women used for sex in concentration camps."

This is false - do a quick web search, the average male ejaculate is 3-4cc. Jonathan King came up with the name after he dreamed about a band called 10cc.
