I was always partial to Big Mo & The Mo-Rons (based on the first two letters of my last name) but for some strange reason never could get the guys in my band to go along with it.

Every now and then, a phrase comes along, and it sounds like an great band name.

"Berserk Llama Syndrome" even comes with this fantastic Wikipedia quote:

"Berserk llama syndrome can be prevented in males through castration before puberty, however this will probably annoy the llama more in the short term."

Heard any potentially cool band names lately?

I think this is where almost all good band names come from. You can sit around for hours trying to think up a name -- or you can post the question to TB and have others try to think up a name -- but then you hear or see something out in the world that's better than anything you could just make up.

A number of years ago I was visiting friends in Oakland, CA, and while out on a walk I stumbled across a restaurant named "Noodle Theory." I aborted the walk and went directly back to my friends' house, so I could email my bandmates back in Virginia to tell them I had found the perfect name for our band. Everybody responded quickly in agreement. And so we've been Noodle Theory ever since. I don't know that I could explain why, but somehow that name fits us perfectly.

unguent is a funny word, but I'm not sure it can be incorporated into a band name.

Back in late 1986, I was in a band and the guitarist, drummer, and myself decided to split off and form a new band. One night, we were out visiting venues to get bookings for the new band and we did not have a new name yet. As we were walking down the street to the first club, we asked, "What are we going to call the band?" The guitarist blurts out, "Well, we are the alternative to the other band." We all looked at each other and said, "Looks like we are "The Alternative" and the band name stuck.

My friend, an even older geezer than I am, wanted to name his band Shovel Ready but they wouldn't go for it. I still love it...
