now my friend the other day asked me to help him name his new band, so i went out of my way, first with funny names then with more serious and one after another they were not chosen.
now i REALLY wanted to name the band, so i really reached into my brain and NS came to mind. now i admit, i blatantly stole some of your names as suggestions.

now i won't say what ones i took yet, so basically, would you have a problem if i stole yours?

and on a similar note, how would it feel if suddenly you heard this band getting big that had your NS name?

I'd have a problem if you stole mine, but mainly because you'd be fucking insane to do it. Or possibly stupid.

:p

your name was not one of the ones i took, though i could have made something with the tribes part

Nope, not really. I think mine wouldn't work so well as a band name though. Perhaps you chose Fiddles? :D

I wouldn't mind personally, although it would look kind of odd for a modern band to be named after a traditional Hungarian dance. Your call really. :D

argh, how did i not think of czardas??

I'd sue you for billions. No one takes my name in vain.

Is that you God?

ummm...ya know I know someone's gunna do it and because im thinking of it right now. (Cant remember the words totally though) A rose of any other name shall smell as sweet...and other romeo and juliet refrences. ^.^

You can have my old one - Wurzelmania.

seriously though, i would accept that any of the people who have posted so far as good names.

except me and maybe shotagon

Why not something out of Monty Python?

"Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot and the Knights who say NI!" would be a kickass name for a band... if a bit long on albums. :D

i'd want royalties ;)

Well depends what kind of band it is.

i thought of your name afterwards, i don't think yours would work as a name though IMO

Well depends what kind of band it is.

What kind of band is it?



i'm not good at these things.

playing songs like Counting Crows, Arcade Fire, Pearl Jam, Pumpkins etc.

You wouldn't pick mine, but I just wanted to say my all-time favorite band name was some friends of mine who named themselves "Two-tone green and the funky ceiling."

Nobody, of course, ever took them seriously.

You wouldn't pick mine, -snip-
I might... but only if I really wanted to torture people. XD

How about "Sdaeiji"? Imagine radio presenters struggling over that one.

It's Sdaeriji. :D

CthulhuFtagn (or however it's spelled) would also be good...

i'm really liking the idea of:

Czardas or Drunken Dove

(patent pending)

Go with me! I'm a native Limericker too. Actually, ego aside, I think Czardas is better. But I'll never say that to him.

How about both?

How about both?

Czardas and the Drunken Doves?

i'd have no problem with my name being used although i can't imagine it'd be any good as a band name.

:p

there's already a band called tribes of london anyway so they'd just end up being mistaken for a tribute band or something. although i suspect you probably knew that anyway with your NS name as it is

"Sister's Pussy"

I dare your friend to name his band Refused Party Program.

what's in a name?

letters.

"The Life of C.H.A.I." because it can mean

The Life of Living, The Life of Tea Leaves, and the The Life of People

-Edit-Tea Leaves are cool for the future, and the life of people has that whole 'un-unique, parts of a soul' feel since it should be 'lives' and not 'life' and because the Chinese language that would translate it as 'people' would most likely have Buddhist speakers which is cool because if reincarnation of people alone is real, we're all parts of a soul because the population keeps doubling and tripling.

But I just realized it would have to be the letters since all those meanings are pronounced differently depending on the language.

:D:D:D:D

I honestly didn't know that, my name was just the result of a bored afternoon in a crappy backward village. Ta for the random fact though:)

Mine would make yu look like an ABBA cover band. Not a good idea. Try Glitziness.

You could use this name, so long as you payed proper homage to it with good music.

The UN abassadorship

Whatever you chose, you'd never beat Up-c down-c left-c right-c abc+start
Can't imagine you'd choose my name though...people might get the wrong idea.

Eutrusca could be a cool name for a band...or Junii...Il Ruffino...I'm sure I could think of some more given time.

I like DrunkenDove


The name. Although I'm sure the person is pretty cool as well. Maybe.

Why not something out of Monty Python?

"Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot and the Knights who say NI!" would be a kickass name for a band... if a bit long on albums. :DBand-not-appearing-on-this-Album?

Afraid not. I'm definitely scum.

Afraid not. I'm definitely scum.

What are you doing here then?! Go hang around on a streetcorner or something! Shoo!

I would be proud, although I seriously doubt that my name would be a great choice for a band.

Afraid not. I'm definitely scum.

Oh!

*crosses DrunkenDove off of "pretty cool" list*

Why? He only pimps you, and you're here.

Oh!

*crosses DrunkenDove off of "pretty cool" list*

....

There's a list?

Why? He only pimps you, and you're here.
True dat :(

Apparently so.
Now....call me Vivi. :P

....

There's a list?
Yep. I bet he's checked it twice, just for the hilarious reference to Santa. The bastard.

....

There's a list?

Erm..I...well, yeah. Nothing important though. Some crap about judgement and what not. I..err..don't worry about it.

Well, you already stole my slogan...

But since I stole it from Shakespeare, I guess I can't get too mad...

Czardas and the Drunken Doves?

i'm suggesting this

I dare your friend to name his band Refused Party Program.

that is a name i will throw in there if he rejects all my other ones

Mine would make yu look like an ABBA cover band. Not a good idea. Try Glitziness.

Glitziness just wouldn't work as this kind of band name i think.
maybe if i was creating some teen girl band ;)

Whereyouthinkyougoing

thats actually one of the ones i originally suggested

The Johnny Harlesburg's!

Well, let's put it this way. Alpha Centauri is already my band name. Take it and you're getting sued. -_-

Although... I'm more like a lurker.. so I probably wasn't chosen. *feels left out*

...*indecisive*

Well, you already stole my slogan...

But since I stole it from Shakespeare, I guess I can't get too mad...

i stole your slogan??

i stole your slogan??
Yeah Over 1 Billion Served!-It's in Antony and Cleopatra.

Yeah Over 1 Billion Served!-It's in Antony and Cleopatra.

I've been thinking... Legless Pirates would be a nice name of a band :p

that was one of my suggestions :p

and i said this when?
Right here...
Over 1 Billion served!

Shakespere...
Anootny and Cleopatra...

OCTAVIUS CAESAR Look you sad, friends?
The gods rebuke me, but it is tidings
To wash the eyes of kings.

AGRIPPA And strange it is,
That nature must compel us to lament
Our most persisted deeds.

MECAENAS His taints and honours
Waged equal with him.

AGRIPPA A rarer spirit never
Did steer humanity: but you, gods, will give us
Some faults to make us men. Caesar is touch'd.For who else has gifted it to whom with Over 1 Billion served!

MECAENAS When such a spacious mirror's set before him,
He needs must see himself.

Right here...
