Utah Saints

Did you know there's a band named the "Utah Saints"? They're actually from England, play dance music, and are not named after the Saints you're thinking of. According to Wikipedia, which never fails me, "The name "Utah Saints" as told by Willis is a play on the fact that when the New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah they kept their name "the Jazz". But as Willis put it in an interview once, "what if the New Orleans Saints moved to Utah?" A common misconception is that the band based their name on the fact that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are headquartered in Utah."

I find the reasoning a little weird. Why does he care about the Jazz relocating within America? I think I would do a little more research before naming my band.
