Kevin was impressed by their cool dancing moves and wicked voices . They decided to team up . But they still wanted to add one more member . So Kevin called his cousin Brian , also from Kentucky . He told Brian about the guys he met . The next morning Brian hopped on a plane to Florida to join the group . The boys instantly clicked ! They then needed a name . So they named themselves after a Orlando Landmark . This name was "Backstreet Market. " They took out "Market" and added "Boys" , to become "BACKSTREET BOYS".
