Originally dubbing themselves The Spiders, and then The Nazz, Alice Cooper (the band) settled on their permanent name after an encounter with a Ouija board. Alice (the man) has claimed the name simply popped into this head while he was eating Doritos, but in his book, No More Mr. Nice Guy, guitarist Michael Bruce writes: “Vince [Furnier, Alice’s real name] sat down with our road manager, our road manager’s sister, and their mother, who was supposed to be a medium. They were playing with the Ouija board and Vince asked it who he had been in a previous life. The board spelled out the name, ‘Alice Cooper.’” Bruce says an employee at L.A.’s Cheetah Club later embellished the story, adding that “Alice Cooper” had been a 16th century witch.
