Okay, right so, you are giving the lads in Australia a hand with a band name, so I thought I would try.

I am in a band who can't decide their name, (we have been through 4 already and the problem with the latest one is that someone else already has it!)

There are four of us, two girlies and two fellas.

We play Irish/Scottish and Welsh music and live in Wales.

There's four different nationalities in group. Let me know if you need any more info on the group to help out.

So there we go - any really catchy ideas appreciated

The Princes. (I can't help it, it's my main association with Wales.)

If that seems inappropriate for a mixed-gender group, how about if you all wear clothes with fancy designs on them, and call yourself The Prints.

urm no

I don't think I could persuade the lads to dress up. Especially the Glaswegian amongst us!

I think I would be sworn at.

Keep em coming.

Regards

Definately NOT the princes

How about "Settle Four." A reference to your indicision about finding a name. You finally "settled" on this name. You could change the Four to For as well. Good luck and good music! Jim

Right There's one Bavarian (long story)

One Canadian

One Scottish bloke

and me I don't know what I am. An allsort. Half English and the rest Irish/Welsh I've been around a bit :-)

Don't know what the Welsh version is of the Colleen

Except maybe daft ol biddy in a plant pot hat - that was the whim of a 18 C Lord in Cardiff. It is not an ancient trad costume.

Perhaps merched as that is Welsh for woman oh yikes I don't know.

Rose n'thorns has been used by a Cambridge Ontario group (the thorns being County Vaudeville + a Rose).

Ga Nainm ("No Name" - I've been told) was also used by a Toronto Irish group till they found that it was also being used, probably by the afore mentioned group.

I've suggested this before on similar threads: If you want to get lots of free poster publicity call yourselves "Support". (Lots of scope for truss jokes as well...)

Thanks all for the suggestions.

I am going to take the ideas to the group and see what they think.

Though I may not last the whole practise session - I could be hung drawn and quatered for some of the ideas.

Thanks
