Some of my friends and I are considering starting a band, but we need a name. We have considered:
The Rolling Oranges
Get Off My Monkey
Dead Smiley Face
Penguins on TV
Penguins with Smallpox
Cross-Eyed Mimes
We kind of have an insanity thing going on. We plan it to be a rock band and can't decide. Better suggestions? Votes for one listed? Help would be appreciated.

Hmm. What age range are you attempting to appeal to? Don't go with the monkey one. If you want something funny - find a name that's clever and original. The whole "monkey" joke is as old as Grandma Moses.

We were planning on Hard Rock that would appeal to all ages. Sort of a Green Day sort of thing but a little less punk(we don't want to look Gothic). Band names...fun and easy? You want to bet.....we've been thinking about it for months......how about Solar-Powered Calculator? That was another on of our ideas...........and actually Love Cactus had been suggested by turned down immediately(everyone thought it made us sound soft)........we've also considered Human Invaders..........but we all thought that was kind of weird...

Entropia is perfect for you! Sophisticated, with a destructive meaning, hard, tough, rough - and yet it can appeal to all.
I'd like to get a serious morphological, etymological or semantical discussion on why not to use Entropia.

I'm partial to Fun & Easy. I would go to a show by a group named Fun & Easy without knowing anything about their music, just so I could make naughty jokes.

Hate Cactus? Lol...you said Love Cactus was too soft.

Wow...those were lame. The creative juices are not flowing. The rest of you are coming up with awesome ones, but I'd also recommend ditching the original ideas.

Nobody liked Bad Marketing? That was one of my favorites.
I'd also like to cast my vote for Rolling Oranges and Back Pocket. Or why not combine them: Rolling Oranges in My Back Pocket (or Rolling Oranges in Your Back Pocket -- I guess you could pick our pronoun).

How about "This band name is so long it will probably take you longer to say it that it is really worth so just give us a nickname!"

If you're going to be fun and pop-y, Oranges in Your Back Pocket. It's saucy. If you were planning on taking yourselves too seriously, Entropia.

How bout I vote against both Bad Marketing and Profound Meaning. Either of the other two are ok.

Now, you don't have to take my advice (but I really hope you do) but I really think you should consider naming your band something that has meaning to you and your bandmates, not just some cute catch phrase. For instance: name your band after a place that all of you love (a hangout). Having this type of name makes for a good story for your fans to read about when someone publishes your biography (or does a special for "when you were famous"!) Posts: 2064 | Registered: Dec 2003

I'd re-arrange the last one also to Back Pocket Oranges
More succint and catchy. More than three words, are bad for a band title. How many big pop groups do you know that have more than three words? The Smashing Pumpkins is 3 max.
Pick ONE and vote on it ONCE these are the finalists so lets try and make a GOOD decision. The guys like all of these and can't decide so please be HELPFUL.
