Call your band Flamboyant Oyster, I have no idea why but I thought of the name in third grade and it hasn't left my mind since.

Anagrams of your full name can sometimes prove to be good band names. Try it out [http://wordsmith.org/anagram/].

Also, avoid (at all cost) putting random numbers on the end of your band name. I've always found that to be quite inane. Coincidentally, all of the bands that choose to do it are also quite inane and unintelligent - funny that.

Just a suggestion. Word of mouth is hugely important for starting bands. So do yourself a favor and do NOT use the name "I forgot"

Friend 1: Man I saw an awesome show this week, The band was awesome!
Friend 2: Sweet, Whats the bands name?
Friend 1: I forgot.

/end career earlier than anticipated.

I always thought Dynamite Insurance was a sweet name because it could mean great insurance or insurance for dynamite, which makes little sense to me.
Or it could be a call to action to use dynamite against the insurance companies. Honestly after I saw my last bill, I would be ok with that.

Okay, our "brilliant" guitarist chose the name 'lake' when the band was totally different. Then we had a different line up and different sound. So now we need a knew band name and our guitarist, the genius he is, is coming up with the worst names known to man.

Okay, I though of the name 'Four to Doomsday' because it sounds quite cool, but he keeps coming up with names like 'blind' and 'buzzkill', So I have come crawling to the internet to help us think of a name that isn't god awful!!
"[Lead Vocalist's given name here]; the [Lead Guitarist's whole name here] Experience"

i.e; "Stanley; the Chris Rutherford Experience"

Yes, it's stupid, but I'm bored, and you asked, so you don't get to complain.

"Blackmaster Orange"
It came from a bizarre dream I had one night about a maths test. Still don't know what it meant, but maybe it was destined to be your band name...
If you DO end up using it, I want 15% of the profits.

This goes for anyone. It's an awesome name, don't everyone go fighting over it and all...

Of all the times I saw random signs and thought that they might make fun band names the only one I can remember right now is "Severe Tire Damage".

Personally I'm a fan of naming yourselves after a song everybody in the band can agree is awesome. It's how my band "The New Mathematicians" got our name.

I also decided to take some advice from Harmonix: I named the band before finding members...

Rock Band LFM! Have name need healer!
