Hey there!

The band I'm in, which covers songs by Queen, Radiohead, 3 Doors Down, RHCP, Oasis, Queens of the Stone Age, etc. (and recently started making its own music), is looking for a name!

In case you have a good name in mind, please do go ahead and tell me.

By the way.. no bitching in this topic svp.
If you don't want to help us finding a name, just don't. (:

Gracias. <3

Well considering people don't really know what to do at Outline when it comes to REAL LIFE situations involving guidance and help... I guess I'll take a stab at helping you.

Civil Suits
Seas of Fire
Oc-toe-men
Flips
Strange Bagels
Brief-Case-O-Doom
Pores of Flesh
White Noise
Temporal Disturbance
Teds Band
Wizdom Wizards
Keyed
Plural Banana Gang
High Natality
Forging Premises

Now I know they sound cool, but for a band, it could be a long shot, but I think a strange name is what gets you remembered of course.

Couple of questions...


What does the band want the name to reflect? the genre played? member personalities? what?

Would the members prefer a one word name? how many syllables?

It is usually the one word one or two syllable names that catch the eye and the attention the most.

I'm out of bed and dressed. What more do you want?

I really don't mean this in a mean way, but don't you think if you were devoted enough you could think of a name? Musicians need to be artistic, so...

This is true for the most part...


then your muse deserts you for a while or you get writer's block....


You'd be surprised how many bands didn't come up with thier own names in the last 50 years. Quite often they start out with one and it gets changed by a manager or producer. A few well known bands (from my time) have gone through several names and member changes before they ever hit the big time.

Just FYI :)

Notice: It'd be nice if our name actually had a definition.

Of course. We've been thinking of a good name for quite a while now, but none of them really stick, if you know what I mean. Either that, or not all of the band members like the name someone came up with.

Right now, we are thinking of naming the band Adroit (but again, half of the band likes it and the other half doesn't)...
We'd just like to get some ideas, which might give us an idea for a new name which we might think of ourself. :)

@ WolfEyes:
We'd simply like a memorable name. Preferably not too long, so one or two, with three as an absolute maximum, syllables would be perfect.
Also, it shouldn't be too hard to pronounce for people who don't speak English very well, seeing that we're Dutch. What we play? It's really a wide genre of music, but mostly rock, I suppose. The band members are all very laid-back and we started the band for the fun of it, but now we'd like to get serious seeing that we've improved so much and we're probably very capable of doing performances now.

But yeah, the fact that we don't have an actual name yet is just somewhat restrictive.

@ Big Al':
Thank you for your input!

Joe:
That sounds quite nice. Thank you for responding to this topic. :)

Ok... so you are looking for something along the sames lines as the band Jackyl...that is the clue I needed :D

Seeing as how today is a holiday in the US give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can come up with and I promise to not use any Lakota words. lol ;)
