Band Name Suggestions

[barackmyworld]

My boyfriend is starting a band with some other students, and they are brainstorming names. It is slightly pop-ish rock music. I figured that some of the bright minds here might know of something that they always thought would be a good name.

[jeff30997]

12. Then it's gonna be The Rectal Probes all the way !

[LearnedHand]

16. So...

[Ramsey]

10. Pile of Dung

That's what my mom once suggested I call a band I was in. We didn't use it, so feel free!

25. Defecated Entrails

that was actually the name of my High School death metal band for about a week, it's my fault we changed it back because I couldn't bear to tell my parents, whose basement we practiced in

[last_texas_dem]

27. Here's a few

The Tollie-Atcos (I like this; no real meaning, except those are a couple record labels the Beatles were signed on in America, early on)

The Gothic (or Gothik, not sure which is better) Hillbillies (I see this as a name for a band with a Slipknot meets "Dueling Banjos" sound. lol)

Bankrupt at 21 (for a nice, crappy punk-pop band)

Crawfish Princess (for a bad southern-rock band; it's the title of honor given to the winner of a local beauty pageant; I picture the cover of their self-titled debut album looking a lot like Hole's Live Through This

The Artichoke Hearts (not sure why I like this one)

That's just a few names I like. My nerdy friends and I are pretty untalented musically but we have a fake band that we like to create scenarios for, so we've discussed a lot of these names. Of course, I'm sure our taste differs from most people's... And FTR, I'm the only one who actually likes the name "Crawfish Princess"! I think it's fun and trashy-sounding.

[barackmyworld]

31. The southern ones are interesting

He is from alabama, some of the other people are from NJ though

[eternalburn]

28. Nothing....

Work out a name later.

30. I used to be in a band called Yom Kippour and The Circumcisms...

How about "Tits Higgins and The Sakline Implants"?

[jdots]

32. The Condolisa Rice Blues Band has a nice ring to it

i was in about 14 trillion bands all with stupid names......ask them what they think about making up a persons name and allways saying they didn't show up. this will add a mystique.
