One of my minor claims to fame is that I was once an occasional player in a pub band in the 1970s. We went by the name of Mulligan. This was because one of the band members worked for a distillers who had a product by the same name. All the band's promotional material curiously was identical to all the Whisky promotional items! Saved and made the band a small fortune! (more saved than made in fact) We never got caught either!! Now you may be an accomplished musician or tone deaf. Neither matters. But if you were to start a band; what would you name it?

While I was at school, I had a band - well it actually there were only two of us. We were called Gazelle. I can't remember exactly why but I recall that it was what I found my middle name to mean. I think it was just that we wanted something more interesting than our own names but the meaning of our first names were not very good! If I were to start a band now, we would have to have a really weird and random name but I don't know what that might be. All the good names are taken.

Probably, sometimes, but that won't be the rule. X, yes, but not XXX. Hey, maybe that should be the name - XXX. Nah, I like Mature Content.

Hmmm, strange that your merchandise was exactly the same as theirs.
I reckon that if I had a band.......even though I can't sing and can only play a teeny weeny bit on the keyboard, the name would have to be 'Dory and the Pandas' :)
A good name for a band in my opinion is one that makes a whole word, how about this one:
The Oreticals
or
The Rmals
or
The Ories
(do you see what I did there?) ;P

my husband is a frustrated singer..that what he told me long time ago..he decided to finish school rather than being a vocalist in a band...i guess if he decided to start a band he will name it as"nazab band"

Mummymo I really want you to go on a holiday and have a lovely time. If you heard me sing I am afraid that your holiday would be punctuated with the worst kind of nightmare! LOL. I love Mummy's Little Angels. I would love to see you being introduced on Top Of the Pops!

I never got to be good at playing any instruments nor in singing but back in college I was obsessed with coming up with a good band name. the best I could come up with was 'Dianne and the Mongo sprouts'. my friends got into a disagreement about mongo sprouts back then and hence the "mongo sprouts".
