Horslips - after a drunken get together to come up with the name of their new band, the members decided on Horslips from a spoonerism of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which became The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse.

Ermm if it has two possible meanings then it's a pun, not a mistranslation. Stern Smile

I believe in this case it's more related to reciprocal aid.

The exact translation of Mutuo Soccorso is reciprocal aid as in Mutuo Amore (Reciprocal Love).

It it was Banco Mutuo del Soccorso...It would refer to a Mutual in banking terms

But Banco del Mutuo Soccorso is more like Reciprocal Aid Bank, because mutuo is linked directly to Soccorso, not to Bank
 
I think you are correct here.  You can find a lot of "Mutuo Soccorso" societies in the Net.

almost but not quite. the flatulent part is right, but Turner also had the habit of hawking, and that in combination inspired the name

Kraftwerk

not quite true; it just means "power plant". there are two German words for "nuclear power plant": "Kernkraftwerk" (which is the literal translation since the German word for "nucleus" is "Kern") and "Atomkraftwerk". "Kraftwerk" just means any power plant, regardless of type

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso -- quite difficult, my Italian teacher had to think this carefully as she never had heard of it (them) but knew I Pooh (which is very popular in Italy over the years, she said).

Italian speaking people please is this right ? 
 
my Italian isn't the best, but I would say:
 
Banco simply means Bank (it can mean bench also)
mutuo means mutual but mutuo as a noun means "credit" or "loan" 
Soccorso means benefit,aid
 
So I would go for "Bank for Credit Aid" (or Bench for Mutual Benefit Wink)

Agree with "Bank for Credit Aid". Excellent ! My teacher agrees too. 
I gave her "Darwin!", "No palco" and "Alphataurus" to listen.....
"Mutual" is a banking/investment term so there is no need to change it to "credit" therefore "Mutual Aid Bank" is sufficient. Mutual basically means 'owned by the investors' - Italy has many "mutual banks".

Mutuo has two meanings in Italian

In this case I believe Mutuo it's not referred to the banking tern, so the name would be Bank for the Mutual Aid...The word "del" makes more sense like this.

A curious case is "Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera"



The first name they chose was  The Velvet Opera, but the guitarist Dave Terry appeared in a session wearing a long black cape and a preachers hat, the band immediately identified him with Sinclair Lewis fictional character Elmer Gantry and from that moment his name changed (legally) and the band was baptized as ELMER GANTRY'S VELVET OPERA.

The problem came later, when Terry left the band and didn't allowed them to use his legal name, so they returned to Velvet Opera.

Mr.Bungle was the name of a puppet on a children's tv show. He was notoriously dirty and filthy, and children were to not behave as he did.

Israeli band Zingale means a Joint. That's what they were basically doing in the time of recording.

The Doors got their name from the book The Doors Of Perception. Though everyone might know this already, or not even consider this a progressive rock band (I feel as if they are Smile) that's all I can contribute to this thread. Great book, great band. Really explains what The Doors stood for. Expanding your mind to their unique, drug-induced style of music.
