Help Me Pick A Band Name?

[KarmicToast]

Why does everyone try to make band names with zero significance? They are either "ironic," gruesome imagery, or hard core emo. All others are the product of some dysfunctional mad lib in which you and your buddy took a break from an all night porn-a-thon to put some melodramatic adjectives in one hat, some cool sounding nouns in another, and then draw a slip of paper from each in order to produce something like "Immortal Uprising." Oh, and before you get any ideas, don't make your band name from my post. The following names are not acceptable:
Zero Significance
Gruesome Imagery
Dysfunctional Mad Lib
Porn-a-Thon
Melodramitic Adjectives
or
Slip of Paper

 

[Jamash]

Rennet Cannon.

 

[odatnarat]

my friends and i were talking onetime to make a band named the pawnshop boys.. hahaha

just a funny name but possible.. hahaha like the petshop boys.. hahaha

 

[FightThePower]

I like the name Hard to Swallow, personally. Not sure why. Maybe because it epitomises what heavy metal is to the mainstream pop music audience.

Then again I'm the kind of person who thinks (*points to avatar*) Does it Offend you, yeah? is a good name for a band. Except DIOYY? are not a metal band.

 

[The Rusk]

The Rusk Bunch... ?

 

[CIA]

Intellectual Armchair. The ones you have don't really pique my interest.

Dysfunctional Mad Lib

Sorry, I actually like that one.

It would be a band with fill-in-the-blank lyrics. They would get the crowd to fill in the blanks every concert.

 

[Erana]

Abstract reign.
Its not sacreligious enough to get you banned from public schools at first glance. ('Cause really, all the money's in the 8-14-year-old girl demographic)

 

[ChristmasChild]

The Dry Dreamers

 

[Knight Templar]

Break the Sky

Personaly I just love the word sky.

 

[Aqualung]

Elect the Dead

This one isn't bad. Some of those are just downright silly though.

I'd vote for Epileptic Shock.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

I like Element of One myself...it's a little long-winded though. And it sounds like it's probably a song title.

While eating breakfast i did google searches. The practice of naming your band after a song you like is a time honored tradition but i've always thought it was kind of weak.

Those are the only ones you have that aren't being used in some way.
Of them I like Abstract Reign and if you're Straight Edge Hardcore Sobriety Uprising my be apt, but corny.

Woops...didn't see this before I posted, in this case Abstract Reign does seem pretty good, if not, Immortal Calling.

[Clashero]

Fugue. It's short, easy, classical, and elegant. Do make sure you actually play a fugue at some point.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Roulette

Because It involves gambling, and gambling can involve cards, and a type of card is the Spade, and the Spade symbolizes death. Plus I like Spades.

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Sorry I work for the opposite side, like indie and not overly heavy rock. I cannot help you.
