Considering there's already a band called DGM, I guess you might want to rule that one out.

I saw Prowler.

Did the guy who came up with Prowler get mad when someone suggested Night Prowler. It just seems like oneupmanship to me. I'd personally go with Scary Night Prowler--but you can't use that...I came up with it first.

They all seem more than a little generic to me. I say back to the drawing board.

Though if you really want to embrace hard rock and metal from the 80's, you need an 80's sounding name.

With that in mind, I suggest: Falcon's Crest

Either that or Dynasty.

If you include a bird or something like that, then you're probably good.

Phoenix Rising or something.

Don't like any of those - sorry.

Here's a suggestion from our old make a name list - yours free for the taking save any copyright or trademark infringements. Are you ready?



Hasselhoff - doesn't that just scream 80's?

Since you can't use Donnie Baker and the Pork Pistols, maybe he'll let you use Sabre or Rage Cage. Those are 80's sounding names.

Night Rider or Airwolf might also be good. But please oh please not A-Team!

Prowler and night prowler sound like a semi-hard band that can't quite pull it off. they prowl, but they don't do much more. while predator sounds like OH SH*T predator is coming.

Don't forget Blue Thunder, Square Pegs and Small Wonder.

A bit of trivia. The band Minus the Bear (here's a pair of vids - one & two) took there name from an old joke about the 80's TV show, BJ and the Bear.

Seriously though ... actually, I can't think of any cool names that would probably fit your band. Stick a couple of letters next to each other - LMR or GTO or something.

I agree the names are a little generic. It's better if someone can Google the name and go straight to you. Maybe try intentionally misspelling one of those names, like "Prowlur". Or "Predataur", which is kind of dinosaur-ish. But not "Creditor".

Maybe throw in an umlaut somewhere.
