The names that I come up with are mostly used in my bands songs. My current favour is "That's What She Said!" It's not clever, but damn it's fun.

I also like "The Lost Art Of The Awkward Silence", "Private Times For Valentines" and "Fists Are For Fighting Not For Pleasuring"

all those are already taken. So don't go stealing them :P

Never really thought up many band names. A friend and I had a project that we called Take A Bite Out of Crime, which changed to Jailbait, which changed again to All Out Of Justice.

I've thought up plenty of song names though...

Phil Collins Is For Easy Lovers
Four Whores and Seven Tears Ago
Ukuleme (like ukulele except...lay me...)
Can't Spell Funeral Without Fun
Normalstition

Those are the only ones interesting enough to warrant sharing in this thread.

When I was in 9th grade I was in a skate-punk band called "The Virgin Alarm," and we wanted to play at the school's battle of the bands. Our vice principle (Mr. Sanchez) thought this was somehow offensive and told us we needed a new name so we went with...

Censored By Sanchez

I thought that was gold, myself.
This band later switched bass players and evolved into The Mutes, which you can hear here:
http://www.myspace.com/iheartthemutes

But anyhow, Censored By Sanchez has always been my favorite band name and if I ever end up in a group that's right for it I plan to use it.

edit: wow I forgot how awfully awesome that "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Meth" song was... I remember recording that noise-solo on keyboard by asking our guitarist what key the song was in and then mashing on notes in the scale :D

I'd share the ones I have, and yes I do have them, but my new band is still debating which of them we are going to use. Once we've settled, I may venture back in here and post the others up. Mind you our music is like the lovechild of No Wings To Speak Of meets For The Fallen Dreams, so the names are in the vein of bands like that.
The one I know isn't getting used, and is one of my favorites is Welcome To The War. I think that's sick as shit, but the rest of the band is scared it'll pull us into a political world, and I'm the only one who cares about politics in the band...sooo....

I had a dream the other night that it was a concert in America and fans were chanting the bands name, XYZ, except they pronounced Z "zee". So when the band got on stage the Australian lead singer said "It's zed, fuckers." and then began playing some hardcore punk.

Not the coolest band name, but hey, I was unconscious when I thought of it.
