I feel like this should go in general discussion, but if not, please feel free to move it.
My band (we're doing a lot of 80's hard rock, and a little from 70's, 90's and up) is trying to come up with a name.
- We're trying to stay away from anything silly or anything that's going to need to be spelled out for people, so no intentionally misspelled words.
- Preferably something that commands respect or gets your attention (a local favorite, "Gun Metal Gray" is a good example).
- Preferably shorter and easy to remember.
Two we've found favor with are Scarlet and Bad Karma. The singer and drummer like Scarlett with two Ts, I prefer it with one. Anybody got any good suggestions?
-
Scad Karmlet
-
Caramel Carrot? Nah
How 'bout, Cold Blue Steel
[edit] A quick Google search shows this is already taken. So, yeah, I got nothing [/edit]
-
Scad Karmlet
HAHA!
I was going to suggest "Whahibrido Pickingant" but that's a little too much inside baseball.
Sir Cozmo and the Kramers? (Half serious, half kidding)
Scarlett Karma? (I'm not actually kidding at all with that one)

For what it's worth, I love this one! With 1 or 2 T's.
I thought of something like Ampersand (&), but that sounds more like a Scandinavian metal band.

I'd rather Bad Scarlett :eyebrows:

Some interesting offerings. There will be five of us and I've always liked the idea of having 4 or 5 members and calling the band "The (insert name or phrase here) Trio". Then when people point out that there's more than three people in the band, you pretend like you have no clue what they're talking about.

Alloy
I actually had a band in the early 90's called that. Then I was in a record store one day and seen a CD with the band named that. I've tried to find information on them in recent years, but the internet acts like they've never existed.

That would only work if they were fat, bloated and boring.

Has to be The Whahibrido Trio surely?

Yes, that was very short lived, however. :lol

Band names are hard to come up with because almost everything you think of is all ready taken. So you have to get creative. My first band's name was Trid, dirt spelled backwards. My current band name is Static illusion. Found out there was a teenage band in Texas with the same name on Youtube, but they probably don't exist anymore. We actually made an album..
May I suggest backward spellings of cool words kind of like DT did with Majesty - Ytsejam
-
I did see a witty one recently from 30 yrs ago - Wiley Peyote.
-
Savage Animal
-
Dead Ringer....works great if you're doing covers. Not sure if it's taken.

As someone who reads a good amount of technical documentation, I always feel there's plenty of cool words in there that could serve as a band name.

Bad Karma is taken by a band from Dallas (if that matters), but a few Karma-related
Karma Key
Karma Forge
Liquid Crystal Karma
Others:
Walt Jr.
Gunlock

(Next two are more obscure than you wanted, but I had to throw them in)
Mia Said Something
Three Little Fonzies
-
A Good Band.

Has there ever been a band called "The Four Horsemen"? If so, even then you can probably get away, legally, with "The Four Horsemen plus one (or plus Cozmo perhaps?)."

Kirstie Alloy
Bite your tongue. As the subsequent photo shows, she was quite the looker in the day, and in fact, I think she's actually still pretty beautiful, even if her size isn't in my wheelhouse.
-
It wasn't a disparaging remark. I saw the word Alloy. My brain said Kirstie Alloy.
End of.
