I showed my friend Lolirock and he had a question that I can't answer. Was the band named Lolirock as a pun on "lollipop", as in candy?

I’m not sure, but I don’t think so. If I recall correctly, we moved from “Lolipop” to “LoliRock” precisely because “Lolipop” was to close to “Lollipop”… even though the musical style of the princesses it closer to “pop” than “rock”.

Now, changing the name while doing the project happens often : before LoliPop/LoliRock, we were supposed to be “Pretty Pop” (but it was too close to “Pretty Cure”), and even before that we should have been “Star Princesses” (but we couldn’t keep this name) and at the very very beginning it was “Ice Angels” (it was back in an earlier development of the project, when the girls were supposed to “ice skate”, instead of “singing”.)

See ? Lots of tries and evolutions before coming to LoliRock. ;)
