I used the random band name generator and came up with...

9.Pallisade Poser

As for your own band name dillema, I guess it depends on just how big of a role the drummer has in the band. If it's truly "his" band, meaning he's the guy writing the songs, planning the setlist, getting the gigs, driving the van to the shows, etc., -- then I suppose he has a right to make the final call on the name. If the band is more or less of a team efort, then then name should be something everyone likes (or at least doesn't hate).

Another totally random band name generator is here: http://www.blamepro.com/bang.asp Hit REFRESH to reload the page and get a new band name every time. LOL

More band names here: http://www.muzique.com/band.htm

And another generator here: http://www.bandnamemaker.com/generator/

Really though, what is in a name? Huey Lewis & The News worked for a long time successfully as Huey Lewis and the American Express. Same band, different names.

Here's the name I came up with:
Flat Fifth. We're a five-piece and I like that it's a musical term better known as "the devil's note" :mrgreen:

I looked it up and seems like a jazz fusion band from Canada has that name. But tey seem pretty inactive now. What do you guys think?

Flat Fifth? well seems the other outfit has an album, but apart from any legal wrangling with publishers and the like; it could make online searches by fans a bit random and affect any SEO you do online less productive. The other thing about the name is that musicians will get it, but will the punters?

We can always change it enough, like adding "The" or add other things. :)

There are several of those online--and they're fun to check out--even if you aren't trying to name a band.

The band makes the name.........


Or a daughter of one of the members makes the name.

Back about 10 years ago when a few buddies and I had a garage band going, we had 7 original tunes written, rehearsed, played, and finally recorded and burned onto CD. But we had no name...

My buddy's daughter overheard us talking about something and the phrase, "...once in a blue moon" or something like that. She asked, "Daddy? What is a blue moon? The moon is not blue. But can you imagine if the moon was black? You'd never see it at night. People talk about a blue moon, but not a black moon".

We all looked at each other like "black moon"??? And that was all it took. We all instantly agreed and nodded to each other and said, "Yeah... That's it..." And we named ourselves Black Moon.

We never trademarked the name or copyrighted it or anything legal like that. We disbanded a few years later too. :(

So, if anyone wants to use the name Black Moon for a band, now you know where the name came from. 8)
