Suede are known as London Suede everywhere but the UK because of some bint in the US performing under the same name. Makes them sound like a cheap factory outlet shoe shop.

Beat me to it.A couple for the oldies.
Cliff Richard's backing band were originally called The Drifters, and became The Shadows after Norrie Paramour, under threat of a lawsuit from Atlantic Records, sacked the session musicians, hired Hank etc. and changed their name.
There were two blues-harp maestros in the 40s playing under the name Sonny Boy Williamson, one (John Lee Williamson) in Chicago and another, whose real name was Rice Miller, in Memphis. The first was killed in an armed mugging in Chicago in 1948; 'Sonny Boy II' played in this country a lot in the 60s and his last recording was 'I'm Tryin' to Make My Home in London' with a young Jimmy Page on guitar.
Beat me to it.

Yup, they made their first album while they were stilled called Dinosaur.Dinosaur Jr were so named because of an existing band called Dinosaur. I think.
