I was once in a band called Colin Cant and the Zimbabwe Five. For no reason other than it sounded funny at the time. Sadly we got boycotted because someone spread a rumour that we were from South Africa and supported apartheid. Didn't even know what it was then, but we still lost a few good gigs, so band names can make a difference.
I was also once in 'Screamin for Pussy' who didn't do too well either...
take care, kids...

A bands name is very important coz when people aren’t listening to you
or seeing you live the name is all they have to go on.

so it has to catchy and descriptive of the bands sound,

band members unite under the banner of a name and you should be proud of your name coz if people ask “whats the name of your band?” and you start by saying
“its weird but” or “its stupid but” that’s not a good thing
I should know I’ve been in
DIRGE
The Janet’s
TYDERIUM
VINYL BILL
eric euan

stay away from numbers they suck!

So basically all that matter is that the name isn't terrible or misleading.

We wanted to call our band Seven Days Self-denial but soon realised that people would never remember that....

We stumbled across "Solinus"...it made so much sense.

Is that a real word? If not how did you stumble across a word like that? Unless you were trying to soleness or something and mumbled across it...?
