alphaville: 'Alphaville' is a German synthpop band created in 1982. While there was a Spanish band with the same name since 1980, it does not seem to have been plagiarism but both were inspired by the French film Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (known in Spanish as "Lemmy contra Alphaville" or simply "Alphaville", Jean-Luc Godard, 1965), where it is a city controlled by the Alpha 60 computer that also dominates the minds of its inhabitants.

See ingles/fallout ("particles contaminated with radiation").
duran duran: Duran Duran is a new romantic pop band formed in the United Kingdom in 1978. The name is inspired by the film Barbarella (Roger Vadim, 1968) where supervillain Doctor Durand Durand attempts to take over the kingdom of Sogo, and its energy source, the Mathmos, to power his positronic ray.
t'pau: T'Pau is an English pop band formed in 1986. Their vocalist Carol Decker had not yet decided on a name for the group and while tidying up her apartment with the television on they began to spend the Amok time chapter of the Star Trek series (original) where they name several times the Vulcan leader T'Pau. And she thought it was a good way to call her band.
toto: 1º_ Hypocoristic of Antonio . 2º_ 'Toto' is the name of about twenty cities: four in the Democratic Republic of Congo, three in Angola and the USA, two in South Korea and Indonesia, and one in India, Mexico, Nigeria, New Guinea, Spain and China. 3º_ 'Toto' is a pop rock band created by American session players in 1976. The origin of the name has different versions. The oldest (and the one I like the most) tells that its drummer Jeff Porcaro saw on television the film The Wizard of Oz ("The Wizard of Oz", Victor Fleming, 1939) and was tempted to laugh with the name of Dorothy's dog, to the point of taking it as a crutch and repeating "Toto, Toto!" at every moment. When it was necessary to identify in the recording studio the demos of the band, which still had no name, he put some labels with the word "TOTO" (or maybe it was the engineer of the studio, as a nod to the musician) and as all the tapes already had that name they decided almost unanimously that it would be that of the band. Only in the 1980s bassist David Hungate explained that toto in Latin means "at all", and that it represents the totality of styles played by the members of the group.
