New Zealand band Shihad released a self titled album in 1996. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the band changed their name to Pacifier (due to similarity between Shihad and the Arabic word jihad.) With the new name, they released another self titled album. Technically the same band has had two self-titled albums, but with different band names.

The U.S. band Chicago is well known for its long string of numbered albums, none of which is strictly a self-titled album. However, the band's first album Chicago Transit Authority was a self-titled album, as this was the band's name at the time of the album's release in 1969. The band then shortened its name to Chicago, and its second album in 1970, Chicago was thus also self-titled; however, it was later rereleased as Chicago II.

Similarly, Australian band Icehouse were originally known as Flowers. Icehouse was the title of their first album. Later, when they discovered another band with a prior claim to the name Flowers, the band and album swapped names.
