Coming up with names

The Kerrang one is ridiculous.

"The Effects of Hurricane Andrew in the Bahamas"
"National Register of Historic Place Listings in Medina County, Ohio"
"The Book About My Idle Plot on a Vague Anxiety"

I suppose there wouldn't be too many other bands with those.

Edit: the Vague Anxiety one turns out to be an album title, by japanese math rock band Toe. Whatever Math Rock is.

It's a bit of minefield. First you think of a name that you like, so you do a bit of research and there's a band out there that already has it. Start again, you think of another one and hey presto no other band by that name but the rest of the band hate it....And round and round it goes.

I'm in the same situation.... :huh:

How much should you worry about using the same name as anyone else? Twenty years ago you could have the same name as a band 50 miles away and you'd never know. Nowdays you get worried if a band in the states has the same name. I guess it depends on if you're aiming for world fame, or a few local gigs.
