Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Mbo Date: 25 Nov 99 - 12:17 PM Hey folks, you'll never believe this but, I tried Sam's thesaurus trick, and came up with "Assemble." Great name for a band! I like "The BilBugs." Has a nice ring to it! --Mbo |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: stupidbodhranplayerwhodoesn'tknowanybetter Date: 26 Nov 99 - 01:16 PM Some friends of mine who live in Montreal found another band going by the same name as them so they changed their name to "Nobody You Know". Also, there is the story of a banjo player turned electric guitarist who flipped through a dictionary and found the entry: recurring motif in European folktales in which a traveller comes upon a village who refuses to bury a man who died in debt. The hero spends his last penny to provide the corpse with a proper burial. The ghost of the corpse befriends the man anonymously and helps him to win a fortune, marry a princess, et.al. The ghost finally reveals himself. ANd thus was born th San fFrancisco band, the Grateful Dead. Check your dictionary, it can't hurt. Rich |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Lesley Palmer Date: 26 Nov 99 - 05:19 PM how about "synergie" according to my dictonary it means when the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Only problem its already been pinched as a car name. |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Alice Date: 26 Nov 99 - 07:57 PM I have asked a friend of mine in France who is a Celtic music fan what she thinks would be a good name. I'll pass along her suggestions if she gets back to me on it.
Did you go back in the archive link and read the thread where we suggested names for alison's band?
I can't remember all of them that I wrote in that thread, but one was:
Gaelic Breath (you know, garlic bread... oh, well, it isn't French, really.)
How about.... Oui Little People (you know, the wee folk, I mean the Oui Folk....) -alice flynn (and I think Father O'Flynn is a great name) |
|
Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Alice Date: 26 Nov 99 - 07:59 PM .... then again, it could be The Oui Wee Folk.....
ok, I'll stop now -alice flynn |
|
Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Alice Date: 27 Nov 99 - 11:04 AM ok, me again....
a play on the expression oh, la...
O'La Lough
My friend in France wrote out a list and it got lost in email transmission. I don't know if she has found it or is rewriting it.. I'll post later. alice |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Gint Date: 01 Dec 99 - 06:43 PM The Band With No Nomme okay okay The band with no name The Band With No Homme (but for that you'd have to shoot the blokes)

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Jo Taylor Date: 01 Dec 99 - 08:05 PM You'd better ask him yourself, Binbag! (aka Florence) -Steve's dog Pog's daughter is now joining the discussion. (Do the cats have any comment?!) Strange things happen in Normandy in the winter... We've now settled on three of us - Gina, me & the token homme. Still listening... Jo |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: MMario Date: 01 Dec 99 - 09:20 PM Token Homme? sound like a name for a band! |
|
Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: sophocleese Date: 01 Dec 99 - 10:57 PM "So who they got playing tonight?" "They've got Token Homme." "Bummer, now what are we going to do without a band?" Crashing cymbals and a quick exit PLEASE! |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: InOBU Date: 02 Dec 99 - 02:21 PM One of the great band names for an Irish American band, was the Splongents. An ex-splonge tells me that one of them was stoned on some strange cemical and just said the word - and it became them. Not that I endorce cemical help in naming your band. Perhaps, the Jams ODonals, after the name the schoolmaster gave to all the Gaelic speaking kids in Flan OBrians, An Beal Bocht. (for some reason the apostrophies dont seem to work on this program, nor do fadas or other accents - hardly matters I suppose, as my spelling is wanting anyway...) Good Luck Larry Otway |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Jo Taylor Date: 14 Mar 00 - 06:21 PM Well, I said I'd let you know. Thanks for all the wonderful and also the silly suggestions! Unfortunately, many of the wonderful ones would have been a bit hard for the French to pronounce (and for us to explain...)We've ended up as four of us, and we're called Griffon - sort of vaguely celtic, easy pronunciation, and happens to be the surname of one of the band (with a slight adjustment). The first gig is St. P's day (Friday), the 2nd the night after, the 3rd next week... Thanks again all, Jo |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: Den Date: 09 Nov 04 - 03:09 PM I always thought, "The Whistling Mothers" would be a great name for a band. Or how about "Duncan Disorderly". Guest danman you might want to start a new thread as this one is pretty old and people may not check in. |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: GUEST,ClaireBear Date: 09 Nov 04 - 03:19 PM I sort of like Abahdrabia, but I must say that it makes me think your music is going to consist of Middle Eastern flavor covers of Abba hits, which I rather doubt is what you intend to evoke. Also if I were, say, to type that name into a search engine, I'd be quite likely to spell it wrong. Best of luck with your search! |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: GUEST,banjoman Date: 01 Dec 04 - 06:21 AM Used to play in a band called "Diss" but changed it when we realised what the audience really meant when they shouted "Diss Band" So we became the "Elastic Band" which stretched our musical ability a bit to far so we broke up when the guitar player finally snapped. Great thread |

Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: GUEST,Ondy Date: 07 Dec 04 - 12:51 PM Our band had a bunch of names and 99% of the actual good names were taken. And we cant even agree on that. |
|
Subject: RE: I need a new band name... From: DADGBE Date: 07 Dec 04 - 01:41 PM All the good names do seem to be taken. 'The Fabulous Poodles' and 'Moby Dick and the Seamen' have already been done. What's left for a poor band to find? I'm in a local singing group named 'The OK Chorale' so you can't use that... A daunting task! |
