If you were starting a band what names would you pick?

[publiusr]

How about “FLAMMATORY INFECTION”

 

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

What about Ripley?

He's got a comic strip AND a museum. What more does he need?

The Fizzing Whizbees
Friend of mine's band is .. "would"
So impressed with that band name
I have a few bands that I put up music for on Bandcamp

Bird camp
"." (Yes that site allowed me to name my band . Or period-- I usually call it . Dot)..
h92o (representing the chemical formula for ice 9)
"m8w" is my band on archive site..

"1" is a band of mine on a free music archive site..

I am well versed in names of bands

 

[Toril Toran]

Don’t know if any of these are used, but here goes:

Death Metal Jacket
Flaming Fish
H8 You (punk band)
The Wild Tamed

just to mention a few…

(Edited)
Add a couple more

The Best of Music
Cantilever Cumquat

(wait. Now this whole thing has gone silly)

 

[Dr. K.R. Kollman hon.]

Saw a guy with a hand-made t-shirt once that said:
Punk
Snot
Dead
I never knew if that was a band name or something he made up. But it should definitely be a band name, in my opinion.

 

[Toril Toran]

I once saw a t-shirt that said:

I’M THE BOSS
and my wife lets me say so

not really relevant to music but I thought it was funny

 

[Nerys Myk]

And Many More

Go to Japan and you'll see shirts like that all over the place. The Japanese love English words; they don't care what they mean, they just like the sound of it. So this gave rise to all sorts of shirts with words on them that were pretty much chosen at random!

 

[Toril Toran]

You could jam together any two random words and come up with a unique band name.

Swords and Forestry
Dino-mites (or The Microscopic Dinosaurs)
Ships and Clips

etc etc

 

[Nerys Myk]

And Many More

Alternately "Anne Minnie Moore".

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I just thought of another name

Coriolis Force

 

[Birb-of-Prey]

If I shared it, someone would yoink it from me.

Is it "The Eagles"? Because that's taken.

 

[DarrenTR1970]

Copying over from Bad Starship Names - here are some of the proposed names from a certain British comedy troupe that might make good band names.

Owl Stretching Time
The Toad Elevating Moment
A Horse, A Spoon and A Basin
Vaseline Review
Bun, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot
It's
Whither Canada?
Gwen Dibley's Flying Circus
Baron von Took's Flying Circus
The Nose Show
Ow!
Ow! It's Colin Plint!

 

[Owain Taggart]

Some of these names are pretty great

I dunno, I can't play anything, but if I could, I'd maybe go as 'Sorry Not Sorry' Something tells me it'd be passive-aggressive Canadian punk

 

[Toril Toran]

Bun, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot

Sounds like a really bad law firm.

Or a really good comedy one

 

[Nerys Myk]

Soul Revolver
It would be a Beatles cover band.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

[Avro Arrow]

Soul Revolver

Not to be confused with Velvet Asylum.
