That's the trouble coming up with band names, trying to find one that isn't already being used by 25 other bands.

We came up with "INCOMING!!!" for a band name last month and were all set to use it. Then we googled it and saw there are already several bands with that name in several different countries.

You can guarantee something as generic as "Never Say Never" is being used by hundreds of bands.

Every time there's a band name thread, I make the same suggestion. "A Cunning Stunt."

In this particular case, it's simultaneously the best AND worst possible name for your band. :D

Seriously, though, I'm never gonna use it, somebody has to, and when you get huge, send me a check for a couple bucks. ;)

It's been done. Several times. Cunning Stunts was the name of an album by Cows in the early 90s and by the band Caravan in the 70s. Metallica used it for the name of one of their concert videos.

Being original isn't as easy as it looks.

Jaimee. And yes we have considered several Jaimee and the ......s names. I like Jaimee and the Grease Monkeys because greasy is the best way to describe our sound.

If you want to do that, maybe replace "the" with "her", like Neko Case and her Boyfriends. Jaimee and her Grease Monkeys. Jaimee and her Unmentionables. These kind of "Singer and Band" names have a kind of 50s-early 60s vibe that goes well with burlesque.

Jaimee and her Black Ocarina Over Blue Skies would be a good name to suggest if you want her to slap you really, really hard.

Or you could forget the bandname and just perform under her name - she is the attraction, after all.

And when she quits.......and she will quit.......you're left with nothing.

True, but singing burlesque dancers are tough to replace or sub out anyway, so not using the singer's name won't help much. Until she does quit, using her name will make the whole thing a bit more marketable.

It only makes her more marketable. When she leaves, the band could continue on its own or with another singer.... Unless they name themselves after this one.... Z
