Re: Adopt a Band Name
Adopting 'In A Romeo', may I ask what it's anagram is?
Re: Adopt a Band Name
It IS the anagram. The original name I used was 'Ian Moore' (an artist local to the Seattle, Washington area).
Glad I could help!
Re: Adopt a Band Name
That is what I meant, I just couldn't phrase it right. :D
Re: Adopt a Band Name
I'm gonna jot down Irish Drum Mess....I may not use it for the MC's band, but maybe a minor character's band.
What's the anagram, or is it the anagram?
Re: Adopt a Band Name
It IS the anagram. The original is an online handle of mine, MissMurderIsh.

Re: Adopt a Band Name

Re: Adopt a Band Name

Re: Adopt a Band Name
How about some horribly corny historically-inspired names:*
Atilla and the Huns
The Leif Erikson Trio
Caesar's Ghost
The Horatio Nelson Experience
The Press Gangs
Give Me Liberty
Eat Cake
The Monks (as a boy band)
The Puritans
The Mayflower Experience
Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads
Paris and the Trojans
Guy Fawkes Explosion
The Black Death
The Plague Rats
*Note...some of these are more classic literature inspired (Caesar's Ghost) or are inspired by historical myths (Eat Cake).
Re: Adopt a Band Name
I'm adopting Guy Fawkes Explosion and Give Me Liberty. I may actually use those as real band names. Those are brilliant!
Re: Adopt a Band Name
The Mayflower Experience is amazing. I don't think I even have a need for a band name, but if I did, I would definitely adopt that one.
I'm leaving the following up for grabs:
The Red Queen's Race

Re: Adopt a Band Name

Re: Adopt a Band Name
Do a search on "band name generator" and you'll find plenty of sites that will automatically generate random band names. One example: this site. Warning: this can become addictive and interfere with more gainful pursuits - like writing about the band!
Re: Adopt a Band Name
Here's some:
Redheaded Stepchild
Watery Tart(e)
The Elderberry Mothers
Roger and The Shrubbers
Waffer Thin
Farcical Aquatic Ceremony
As you can see, I get most of my band name inspiration from a certain British Comedy Troupe.
