How about Bad Karma?

You could always name it using the following formulas

"Adjective noun" is the most popular (ie, White Stripes, Black Flag, Screaming Trees, Modest Mouse)

"Emotional, physical, or spiritual state" (Nirvana, Sublime, Evanesance, Rancid)

Or use a running joke or story from the band's history, that's a great place for song titles too. (Smells like Teen Spirit, The ballad of who could care less)

Lead singers can get some love, (Ben Folds Five, Dave Mathews Band)

Simply go crazy (Hootie and the Blowfish)

Insensate

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm

UnJustifiable Law

Black Ship Anarchy..........

I'm out

garage street bangers

oh yeah

Idyllic.

No reason really, just grabbed a dictionary and typed the first word I looked at. Strangely, it actually fits the context...somewhat. It means "a composition of a sentimental character."

Inexplicable Russians.

OUCH. Those hurt my eyes, damn you! ;)

i think that it should be important for you and your band to make up the name yourself because any name we can give you won't be original and won't have that certain personal touch that suits your band's image, style and band as a whole

What kind of band is it?

My old punk band went through several names: Last Action, Desperados, Johnny Ander and the Desperados, etc.

Yeah what you play will help us make upo an asinine name better tuned to fit your band

Idyllic.

:D

I just did that, and the first word I got was "Shithead".

It's kinda like a cross between classic rock-and-roll and grundge

Cannibal Cops

But all of our names suck...

I did what Lumberjack Arsonists did and I got 'Speak.'

But all of our names suck...

it doesn't matter if they suck, so long as they are yours

The Unclean Vessel.

That's one idea; the best way to find names is this formula:
The_(random adjective)_(random noun)

Well when one person comes up with a name, the rest of us thinks it sucks.

Well when one person comes up with a name, the rest of us thinks it sucks.
which one of ours do you like

Ihatevacations']which one of ours do you like

Say one of mine!

Well when one person comes up with a name, the rest of us thinks it sucks.

combine the names into one word or title of your band

I like Idyllic and Inexplicable Russians so far

But all of our names suck...
How about your lyrics?



PS: Since you use the name "Trexia", you could build a band's name around that. "Trexia's Breakdown" or "Trexxxia" or "Black Trexia" ... sounds mysterious!

PS(2): I actually like my previous proposal, "Cannibal Cops", it sounds like a bad B-Movie. LOL

"hefijakshui"
"æniwhutijikowou"

Oh yeah, but I still stick with my snowboard influenced names:

Rodeo 3 / 5 / 7 / 9

Switch 3 / 5 / 7 / 9

etc.

(the numerical association depending on the number of band mates, though I would have to have a large group... since I'd want a name associated with an ellusive and treacherous move)

Or you could use some wakeboarding names:

Mobius

Scarecrow

Crow Mobius (also Crow Mobe)

Tantrum

and on and on and on... haha!

The Fat Howitzers - Sounds a little jazzy

The Tired Zipper - The name thing and thats what I got

To The Death (of Courtney Love) - Kind of a tribute (revenge) of Nirvana. Of course you could always add someone else's name in there if you like.

22 and Balding - No, i'm not 22 nor balding

To Cheap to Think of a Name - A little long, could be...

To Cheap For a Name - eh...

Or you could just not go with a name at all. Imagine that. People would be like :eek: and :confused: and record producers would be like :headbang:

Fingerbang (for anyone that watches South Park)

"The Idiosyncratic Hoola Hoop"-If your band plays alot of pop-rock or 80's rock type

"Twisted Placenta"-Super Punk Death Metal type band

The Seangolian Experience-Jazz, baby. Okay, a man can dream, can't he?

Uteral Ulcer-Rockn'roll giant 80's hair band type

Fish n' Chips-English cover band

Wacko Jacko's Never-Never Land-Pop rock.

This help?

"The Crotch Scratchers" (cover band for Rancid)

"Sticky Calculus" (a band made of geek wankers)

"Eat My Shorts" (Bart-style)

"Leper Shelter" (weird alternative band)

"Fat Postman and the Mailboxes" (Hellooo Neuman!!!)

"Phase Shift" (prog rock uber band with 95-minute songs including 45 instruments)

"720 Degrees Vision" (prog skaters)

"UFO Landing" (cool top 40 pseudo-alternative band)

"Jungle Roarr" (80s hard rock guys with very long perms and leopard thights)

"Liquid Light" (prog jazz with a distinctive touche)

The White Stri... oh, right...

My advice to you is to just think of any random thing and stick "The" on the front of it...

The Fluffles! :fluffle:

What about "Cactus"

Your first album could be "Watch out for the pricks"

Rectal Prolapse Generation. It's my band's old name. Feel free to use it.

Find something that everyone likes, and pick an obscure element of it (Veruca Salt), or figure out what you'd like your flyers to say, and pick something that would be amusing in that context (They Might Be Giants).

The Robotech Masters
Anal Bum Cover
Rot 13/26
Septermber That Never Ended

Wormlips
Depressed Fossil

Smegma.

or maybe Prepuce.

"Tried and true"
"Chocolate Town"
"Alcan Road"

It sucks. It basically only combines according to some formula which doesn't work. It does a worse job than selecting random words from a dictionary.

Parent sender: It'd help if you told what kind of music do you play.

Too lazy to look to see if I'm unoriginal:

"..." put in a word bubble, pronounced (as best I can guess) "hhhhnnnnnnnn." (guess comes from magna to anime translations, or whatever people in comics are supposed to be doing when that appears. It's a good visual for posters.

People, people, people! I've already said it. 2nd page!

How about a band with no name but a barcode?
It would make a lot of things complicated, but the band's image would be cool.
And besides, in a text, they could be called by the numeric code at the bottom of the barcode. And use the barcode graphics whenever it's possible.
In the barcode, you could encode the band members' first names.

O...............k...

By the way, a lot of Frank Zappa's song titles / lyrics make good band names.

I nominate "Hot Poop"

It's also a brand of yogurt (which belongs to Danon)

Really? not in Australia it's not...

Yep, in 20 years we'll all remember the band, "Pants."

well, how about knickers then? :confused:

Really? not in Australia it's not...

Nor in the UK as far as I can tell.
