Band names I'll never use

I like to keep a list of potential band names in a shiny little note-book my friend Dave gave me. I haven’t used any of them yet- although some of them are already attached to imaginary projects. My interest in having a large number of band names readily available started in high school; I have (somewhere) a list of band names I thought up when I was trying to come up with a name for my punk band at the time. Some of my favorites were, ‘the onlys’, ‘Willie Toast and the Crumbs’ and ‘chunky puppets’. We ended up settling on ‘SFA’- as in, Sweet Fuck All. We only played one show, so the name worked pretty well.

Recently, I was trying to come up with a name for another band I play in. I suggested ‘boycat’, which I (still) think would be a great band name. The other guys thought it was too gay. They took to calling me ‘boycat’ for a while to turn me off of the idea- but it didn’t work. I used the name for this blog instead. The band is named Elbeejay..

So anyway, I’ve decided to share some of the names I’ve got on my list that I'll likely never put to use. (Don’t worry, I have tons more that I wont tell you about until I need to). Feel free to use these. Public Domain.

‘Public Domain’ is a pretty good one, I’ll keep that. Here:

Mootard.
The Loggy- Rhythms
Blookie Blacka
Viagroft
Genetic Investment
Creepy Dr.
Sean Penncyl
The Eggy Bubbles
Escrotum
Burnt Toast/ Caitlin’s First Seizure – I still might want to use this one
Sketchy Load - Also a great album name
Piss Break.
Special Dinner
The Dead Wrestlers
Who killed Dino Bravo- I’m asking..
meatfinder

Any one of these names (with a combination of talent, drive, skill, ambition and unlimited funds) should guarantee success for anyone who might use it. Good luck!
