(Personal experience)
My advice - don't settle on "____ for Ransom" and keep your ideas flowing. Each of you should write down what you think are cool words on a piece of paper and throw them in a hat. Mix them, write down the combinations, then have a hearty laugh about some of the ridiculous ones that you came up with. Eventually (hopefully) you'll settle on something you can all be happy with.
It's also a good practice in making sure you are not just putting together the first thing that comes together (applies to songwriting as well) and learning to self-criticize and edit, which is a great lesson for a band to try and reach higher goals and write better music.
Good luck. |
Yeah I know what you mean. We actually have been thinking of a name for a good amount of time now, but we're really stuck on that phrase.

Without a name though it's really weird to try that. Also we most likely have a show in April so it's better to get something good now instead of later.
