Answer 3

King signed the band to his UK Records label in July 1972 and dubbed them 10cc. By his own account, King chose the name after having a dream in which he was standing in front of the Hammersmith Odeon in London where the hoarding read "10cc The Best Band in the World". A widely-repeated claim, DISPUTED by King and Godley , but confirmed in a 1988 interview is that the band name represented a volume of semen that was more than the average amount ejaculated by men, thus emphasising their potency or prowess. Interesting ....wow Panterita

Answer 4

It's no secret that plenty of modern day rock bands have names with sexual connotations, but inventing similar explanations for the names of older bands has become a favorite pastime.

So it is with 10cc, who allegedly chose their name as a sly joke indicating that they were just a little bit better than the average guy (whose ejaculation supposedly contains 9cc of semen). Not so, says Jonathan King, who signed the group to UK Records and came up with their name:

I had to give them a name . . . because I'd signed the record, and I went to sleep that night and had this dream that a band of mine on my label made number one on the album and singles charts simultaneously in America, and the band was 10cc. So I gave them that name the next morning. Everybody then decided that this was apparently meant to be the amount of an average male ejaculation. Which was absolutely far from the truth . . . There's a lot of apocryphal stories about names, and unfortunately, most of them are much more amusing than the ugly reality, which in this case is that the name came to me in a dream . . ."
Band member Eric Stewart said essentially the same thing in a 1995 BBC interview:


No, the name actually did came from Jonathan King. Um, he said he'd had a dream the night before he came up to Manchester to listen to Donna. And, he saw a hoarding over Wembley Stadium or Hammersmith Odeon or something like that and said, "10cc The Best Group in the World". So we . . . well, that sounds great to us, we'll call ourselves 10cc. And that's how it came about.
If the name had been deliberately chosen for the reasons cited, it would have been a misnomer: The average male ejaculation actually contains only about 3cc of semen.

Answer 5

10cc stands for 10 cubic centimeters. But remember this band was started in the 70's so back then it was a creative name because NO ONE used metric back then.

Answer 6

It stands for 10 cubic centimetres of liquid. The band is called this because this is the average volume of the human ejaculate - that is to say on average a man will squirt 10cc of semen when he ejaculates. True, albeit disgusting.

Answer 7

10 Cubic Centimetres
