The Singer's name Band

The guitarist's name Band

You're certain that there'll be support for these.

Personally, if you want to pack the place (temporarily at least) try "Scantily Clad College Girls"..will look great on billboards and posters - Pub Landlords will love it..

So you're calling the band "The Prima Donnas" then.

...lots of bands with rubbish names made it.

'The Beatles' is a terrible name. Didn't matter. Thing is, once a name becomes associated with what you do, it ceases to have any meaning or purpose other than as a handle for the band.

'Frankie Goes To Hollywood'. Oh, come on!!

Just made their first breakthrough!

They'd really need to start off as a support band. 'Hole', maybe?

It's certainly advertising.  Beyond that, YMMV.

Bandnamemaker.com comes up with some classics:

Unpaid Doorknob 

Shrunken horror of the stupid maniac

Groping fetish and the subtitle 

Chemical Dogma

and my personal favourite:

Daisy Dreamland and the Big Hung Fuzz

I think I've met her. If not, it was Anne Widdecombe in a gorilla suit.

A friend's band - after weeks of discussions much like the above - settled on "None of the Above".

Surely 'All Of The Above' would be a better name??

If you don't quite like the Who/mod implication, try "Jack Happy" instead

I had to look that up... which shows you my very limited knowledge of The Who

Good Lord!

One of Mr E's best early lines, IMO.  He leads that one from the front.

the name does not matter, pick a word , use it. People learn your name, if they like you.

 

Lots of bands with awesome names never made it, lots of bands with rubbish names made it.

 

The name is irrelevant

I tried explaining that to my band....  They didn't get it

I bet they think that the only reason you haven't "made it" yet is because you haven't found a catchy amusing name lol

 

I'm a realist,we haven't made it coz we're not that good

Canadian Forehead Experiment

Wait.....don't use that, I want it

A topic heading on another (non-bass...) forum; thought it could be useful as a band name...

A Possible Source Of Circlips

No need to thank me, and it's free.

We missed a trick, one of,our bands surname is Sage, we could have been Sage against the machine.

[Twigman]

My mate had a band which has now disbanded I think which had a great name for a bunch of codgers getting together to play: 'Old Country Union'

That name always tickled me.

I'm reminded of an exchange in the House of Commons where an MP said, 'I'm a country member,' to which came the reply, 'We are not likely to forget...'

Actually.... "Happy Jack" is a great band name ;-)

For a Who/Mod trib, possibly...

Or you could have "Saucy Jack" for a Spinal Tap tribute.
