Subject: RE: Help! Need a band name by Monday!
We've had many threads on naming bands. Have you looked them over for ideas? Put the word "band" in the filter and refresh the threads to the max (3 years). Here's one name our band

You could go through all the titles of fiddle tunes in O'Neill's Music of Ireland - over a thousand there to choose from. Hey, Cherish the Ladies worked, why not another tune title for a name?

For example, page 124,
Tie The Bonnet
Tie The Ribbons
The Comely Maiden
The Strawberry Blossom
I Have No Money ;-)

Seriously, here are a few I like for band names.

The Threepenny Bit
The Spinner's Delight
Smash The Windows (punk folk band?)
The Flax In Bloom
Our Highland Cousins
Castle Island
Kiss Me Kate
Farewell To Erin
Keeper Hill
Courting Them All
The Green Jacket
Kiss The Bride
The Irish Music Club
Give Us Another
The Northern Lasses
The Mountain Rose
The Women's Rock
The Midnight Dance
The New Moon
Stack of Barley
The Pleasures of Hope
The Twilight Star
The Green Flag
The Golden Vale
Molly In The Garden
The Pride of the Parish
The Flowers of Spring
Frost and Snow
The First of May (relates to so many ballad lyrics)
Dancing on the Green
Beauty in Tears
Light and Airy
Tea In the Morning

..... well, you get the picture. Just go through O'Neill's.
