Maurice and Donnie Wahlberg wrote a rap song "New Kids on the Block" about the group and Columbia decided that would be their name and the name of their first album.

I personally don't have a problem with the name. There are lots of strange names in music. The "Beach Boys" are no longer boys but they still tour with the name and I've never heard people say they should change their name to "Beach Men"!
