This isn't entirely a different name, but:

The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo = Oingo Boingo

Then, there's
VCLXI - early name of OMD. They also called themselves the Id before OMD.

Athletico Spizz changed their name many times, usually with the cognate "Spizz" in there somewhere: Spizz77, Spizzoil, Spizzenergi.
