    Might be more original to think of it yerselves


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 BMSC


    ya it would be more original to think of it ourselves but that hasnt worked so far. so if i dont get any proper suggestions soon look out for the random randomers around dublin in the next few months.

    How about "[your name] and the rag-time higglers jug band"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭HonalD


    What about - "We didn't ask to be famous" or "Take it or leave it" or "For one night only" (hopefully!!!!:D :D:D ). "One sandwich short of a picnic" ? "Tit for Tat" (Now that could be fun!!!!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,756 ✭✭✭demanufactured


    or how about "Absolute Tripe"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭HonalD


    "Going no-where"; "Lotta balls"; "You don't get famous with a face like mine"; "Mine's a pint"; "If you don't like the music then get the **** out of here"....Are we getting anyway close?

    Just tell everyone to keep it at the back of their minds as they're going about their everyday life. Odds are that one person will suddenly come up with something. There's no rush on it if you've just started the band. All the time you sit around thinking of a name you could be writing songs sure ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 BMSC


    the problem is we spend all our time writting song so noone has bothered with a name yet but were gona start gigin soon so we need one. keep the suggestions comin. i like bring me some chronic. not as a band name id just like some chronic

    Just tried that out, using words from a pop-up ad "Sink the putt"...

    Which generated the anagram "The spunk tit."

    you can't go wrong with an obscure Simpsons reference:

    -Our insect overlords (surely someone is already using this)
    -Coco Beanie Himself
    -Brockway Ogdenville and the North Haverbrooks
    -The Sun-blocking Machines


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 BMSC


    good work. i think you might be on to something there


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭DerekD Goldfish


    Just do what 34.58% of all bands do and name it after an obsucre track by a band that influenced you

    I disagree there is a band called "Purple is a fruit?" worst band name ever
