But that's the kind of band name that, when referenced in conversation and overheard in passing, could lead to some serious misunderstandings. I once received a text from a number not in my contacts it read... Have put up the tent, despite the rain and found a slave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to play around Brighton quite often in the mid 80s and occasionally would get a dirty-raincoat-wearing punter standing at the back looking bemused and a tad disappointed. One band name that will forever stick in my mind from the days of checking out the gig listings in Melody Maker is.... BUM GRAVY. Not one of mine, I hasten to add!

CamdenRob Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 All of the bands I've been in over the years have had universally sh*t names... Agonised over band names for weeks as kids and still ended up with something rubbish. *Also I haven't been here for ages, have we stopped moaning about how much stuff weighs and resolved which bass is best for metal yet?

Newfoundfreedom Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Just though I'd revive this thread instead of starting a new one because it's nice to see I'm not the only one struggling to name a band. I've come up with several, what I thought we good names, only to find after a bit of Google Fu they've been taken. Even "Monday Club" which was in the running for a while has been had by someone on this very forum. We're a five piece rock/ pop / blues covers band with a female singer and we're hoping to start gigging in a couple of months time, but we also have the added complication that we're all English people living in Bulgaria, so the name has to be something that, at the very least can be understood and pronounced (although not necessarily directly translated) in both languages. Brain racking continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanol Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My son formed his first band in Year 9/10 (so 13 or 14 years old boys) at his school. The lads also, coincidentally played golf in the junior section at our local golf course. When they were casting around for band names I suggested "Queens of the Greens". Strangely they chose not to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have a document in which I write down band name ideas whenever they occur to me. I guard it like a hawk. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our group would rehearse at the singer's place, 'La Daubelière', so we became 'The Daub'z'. He's moved since, several years ago now, and we now rehearse at our home. We've retained the name 'The Daub'z', though, despite it no longer being relevant. 'Friday Club' is as good a name as any other, relevant or not (well, the relevance would be that the name 'Monday Club' was taken, so there is a tale to tell, just the same...).

How about "Tomorrow's Tuesday" - still about Monday but doesn't actually say so. Plus it should thoroughly baffle the locals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 6 years now. 6 years with the name Dirt Monkey. Can't pretend I don't feel like an absolute divot any time someone asks what we're called. The other band is called The White Line, which is an Oasis reference and fits the mod/indie vibe pretty well so I can't complain about that one. I maintain a list of names I like, half of them are sci-fi or fantasy references which I'll never use as they'd have to be for a metal band. The other half come from my day job, which is as a youth worker and science communicator. When talking about age gaps in relationships, a 16 year old woman said to her friend (who had said she'd consider a much older man) "Well that's fine for you Bethany if you have that daddy kink but I don't". Next band is definitely being called Daddy Kink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also later added preamps to the banned list because one of the lads is a bit of an anorak and it got a bit boring. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
