Spice Girls Name

[flipnflap]

Were The Spice Girls known by any other name prior to being called The Spice Girls?

I don't think so. I think they were a manufactured group.

Touch

Made up group, made up name!

The first afternoon, they went to Trinity Studios to learn "Take Me Away". Pepi Lemer trained them for the week. After that week, they did a showcase for Murphy. Dressed in black and white in different combinations, they sang the song they had prepared "Take Me Away".[16] The group was given the name Touch

Factor got it.

The group was originally called "Touch"

[Baldric]

Every day's a school day ;o)

But it was a different lineup that was called Touch.

[albaqwerty]

When you think about it, Posh Touch, Sporty Touch, Baby Touch et al just sounds so wrong on so many levels :-D

[Baldric]

Never thought I'd look this up!

True, in that Emma B wasn't there initially, but I'm not sure whether she joined before or after the name change

[Baldric]

Emma was the last to join after the name change! (he said knowledgeably)

Touch?
Would they have still had their nicknames? "Scary" touch, "Baby" touch, "Ginger " touch, "Posh" touch and "Sporty" touch?? Errrr doubt it!!

[Baldric]
