New name needed

It's threads like these that remind of a Beatles quote - I believe it was John who said ( I paraphrase) - "Any band name is dumb until it gets to vinyl"
Even though we rarely see vinyl anymore the premise remains true.
Choosing a name for my bands used to be something I stressed over but now the decision is made in about 15 minutes.Don't overthink it - assuming it fits your genre of music just go with it.

Some of my last band names:

3SUM - a three piece
Gunslingers - Country / Rock Outfit
Tripping Over Walter - my personal favorite - the guitar player had a dog named Walter that he was always tripping over - no deep thoughts there...

If the band is good people will remember the name regardless what it is.
