Need a New Band Name

Well, from what I gathered from my marketing curriculum, here are two guidlines.

1. Less sylables = better, prefferably one word. Easier to say. Names like Dave Matthews Band get cut down to "DMB" or just "DAVE."

2. Start your name with a letter that is at the beginning of the alphabet. When you are listed on band promotion sites, your name will come up first.

eh, just some ideas.
 
I HAVE THE BEST NAMES EVER!!


NAME YOUR BAND, "GENGHIS KHAN ENTERTAINS MARCO POLO IN HIS CRYSTAL THRONEROOM" but, I already named a song that, so you'd have to gimme credit.

as for ones you can just use and not ggimme nuthin' fer...uhh, like, any long phrase that is describing something happening

"AS A SINGLE SHOT RINGS OUT AMONG THE CROWD OF DISSENTED ONLOOKERS, A SMALL BOY CRIES"

or... "SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC FALLING ENDLESSLY TO THE FLOOR IN MY LIVING ROOM"

you know, something like that. It'd be SEXY.
