I have read that Brian and Roger wanted the band to be called "Out of the silent planet" from the book with the same name. Freddie thou had different thoughts.

Guitarist Brian May introduced Freddie and Mary, at a discussion about the group. They were trying to choose a name for themselves. Freddie wanted to call the group Queen, while Brian favoured Build Your Own Boat. 'I remember Freddie's massive black hair, which made him look like a cavalier, with his arm resting on the mantelpiece of Brian's house in Barnes. He was very proud of his new white shoes. Suddenly he turned to me and asked what I thought about the names. I said, "Oh. I think Brian's build Your Own Boat." But Freddie got his own way, as he did with most things. They settled on Queen.

This interview was from one with Mary Austin and she was thier when they were naming the group!

LMFAO!! Very funny! I agree on the strange thing!!

You know, I've always had a suspicion that Brian only thought of 'Build Your Own Boat' because if you take the first letters of each word you get BYOB...mabey...

And by posting that thought, I'm sorry if in any way it offends those who already knew that.

Or it could be:
March of the Rich Kid
Killer Rich Kid
White Rich Kid (as it began)
......
And Freddie: "There's been a lot of rumours lately about a band called Build Your Own Boat/Rich Kids."

I'm so glad they went for Queen.
