I'm not sure if copy-pasting from Wikipedia is frowned upon here, but here goes:
"Bennington eventually suggested the use of Lincoln Park because he would drive by Lincoln Park in Santa Monica, California (now known as Christine Reed Park), on his way to the recording studio every day when the band was recording demos for its debut album. Bennington thought that it would be a good name for the band because there are Lincoln Parks all over the country. He figured that the band would be recognized as a local band no matter where they went. He also liked it because the name had no meaning, allowing the music to describe itself. However, since the domain name "lincolnPark.com" was already taken and the band couldn't afford to purchase it, they changed the spelling from "Lincoln" to "Linkin" so they could purchase the domain name "linkinPark.com"."

I love Linkin Park too. I always thought the name was a play on words based on "Lincoln Park" which is the name of several parks around the country.

it's spelled wrong like korn and staind, so it shows that they're like hardcore and not ******* at all, man.. yeah... they're so hardcore they don't even have to SPELL right.
they could have made a different domain name like many other bands do, by the way
