Which of these would YOU pick for a band name? My bandmates and I are having a hard time settling for one of these so I figure, what the hell, I'll pose the question here and see what kind of responses we get. I'd rather not say what we sound like just yet, id like to get some very quick reactions instead. This may seriously help with the decision, so thanks.

it all seriously depends on what kind of music you play. i mean, if you're emo, starting a band name with "the" is definitely the way to go. if you're trying to sound intelligent, using archaic words will suffice.

The Implants - don't put the word "the" in your band name
Verse Chorus Verse - not bad, but not great either
Squirm - album title, not band title
The Qualm - there's "the" again
Subtle Dissension - are you all going to wear black trenchcoats and mascara?
Lusitania - why? Are you history buffs?
The Avant Guards - apart from "the", it sounds like a Rembrants coverband.
Vigilanza - rhymes with Tony Danza and if you just glance at the word, it could look like Vagina for a second.

Asking other people to name your band is like asking people what you should get a tattoo of... if you guys aren't creative enough (not saying you aren't) to come up with your own name by yourselves, how good can your music be?

Go with "Vigilanza Squirm Implants"

I voted for Lusitania, but it really does depend on what kind of music you play. I don't know if I'd buy a Death Metal album from the "Fuzzy Bunnies", unless they were the bunnies from Monty Python.

I'd pick "I Hate Every Single One of These"-- especially if your music is dark and depressing. The only thing is you open yourself up to music critics making the obvious joke about how apt the name is if they don't like you.

Also I'd drop the word "single" and use "everyone" instead of "every one" to make it a bit less wordy and because IHET is a better acronym than IHESOT.

Often Badgers

The choice should be obvious, and shame on you for not already thinking of it:

Boron Cowpunch

Those are all really bad IMHO. If you are sticking to one of those, I guess "The Implants" is the least worst.

My suggestion not knowing the type of band:

Masturbating Midgets

I'm expecting you to track me down to pay me royalties when you use my suggestion. If I started a band, I'd name mine "Jiggle the Handle," but since I won't, you are welcome to use it. Just do it proud-like.

of the choices listed I like:

Lusitania

Pigs In Space?

Lucas Killers

they're all not very good. what about "bitch you heinous"?

how bout 'Spanky Banana Pants'

I like Verse Chorus Verse, but that to me says, comedic band.

1.) Tell the Puppet
2.) AntiCreed
3.) So Last Year
4.) Lawrence of the Labia

I picked The Avant Guards, although I wasn't super-hyped about any of the names (but felt simply saying I hated them all wouldn't help you much either). Here are my knee jerk impressions about each:

The Implants - might work for an all-girl punk band, like a harder-edged version of the Donnas

Verse Chorus Verse - maybe too cutesy, but might work for a They Might Be Giants type group... a lighter, humorous group

Squirm - this is one of those names that might look *okay* in print, but is horrible when spoken aloud.. "Hey, I heard Squirm is playing on Friday."

The Qualm - doesn't roll off the tongue well, but visually would look cool on a t-shirt or album cover. Doesn't instantly evoke a specific genre, which is good

Subtle Dissension - I instantly think Minor Threat, or some sort of aggressive punk... until I think about it for a sec. Then it sounds a little too intellectual, but not in a good rock and roll way... more of a pocket protector way.

Lusitania - Simple, but maybe too simple. Its not really memorable.

The Avant Guards - Maybe too cutesy still, but there's at least flexibility here. Works for a light punk or emo band, or other basic rock or alternative but not for something like hardcore punk or metal.

Vigilanza - I picture a cattle skull and a pentagram on the album cover, or something violent. This evokes speed metal or thrash to me, maybe death metal.

I have a few new suggestions. Sporque (don't tell people how to pronounce it, but I was thinking simply Spork, but Spor-kay would work as well). Scrodumb. The Thwack Band. FNF (Forum Name Finder )

I'm pretty sure there's a band already called that anyway.

Here's an archive of Dave Barry's "Good Names for Rock Bands":

Use one of them.

Verse Chorus Verse gets me to think of Nirvana instantly. You don't want to remind critics of one of their darlings when they see your name. Unless you're Radiohead.

How about 'Bloody Stool'?

How about: Drug Penis

We Suck

or

Bitch about Everything

I'll throw out some dumb suggestions off the top of my head...
