My band can't decide on a name and our first gig is less than a month away. Any original ideas? We play modern and classic rock. |

But unless it's on itunes or under a major record label, it doesn't really matter. Heck, even my name, Push Button Four, was taken, but it was by some failing ska band from the early 2000s with like 200 views so it doesn't matter

I just tried this and both my favorite names were taken! Craps.

Switching the letters in the names of famous people seems like a popular trend right now (Bustin Jieber, Cleric Apton). Quote:

(Other random band name generators are also available)
Some results are good; I rather like - Balanced For Uranium
Some are a bit more rubbish - Drastic Shutup And The Intense Anywhere
...or maybe not.
Also useful for generating lyric ideas and song titles.

I've come across far worse and it will just limit who and where you can work.
