Excerpts from Sarah Harding‘s autobiography reveal a load of alternate band names that were considered for Girls Aloud.

Hear Me Out is set to be published tomorrow; and in addition to opening about her devastating cancer diagnosis, Sarah will also look back on her life and career – including the glory days with Nadine, Cheryl, Kimberley and Nicola.

In an excerpt shared with The Times, she writes: “When I sat down with the girls, Davina announced our name to the world: Girls Aloud. The truth is the name Girls Aloud had only been decided the night before. For an entire week before that, we were simply Aloud.”

Considered names included Raw NV, X-Quizit, Raw Class, Raw Mix, Raw Deal, Raw Silk and – perhaps a little dark – Overdose.

Label bosses tried to register Raw Silk officially, onto to discover there was already another group with the same name. While Sarah added: “X-Quizit, on the other hand, turned out to be the name of a porn site!”

What do you think the worst girl band name is? Is it Girls Can’t Catch? I think it’s Girls Can’t Catch.
