Perfect! (unfortunately, I think her legal team would have issues with it) ---

> [@MetalMaster](#): > > Thanks Vagabond. I guess that would be the way to go. I was just thinking of the name lately and next to nothing came to my mind 😃 You are very welcome, glad I could help. But i did forget to add that going into said brainstorming session with a few ideas is not a bad thing. Make a list. Make a BIG list. Write down every name that sounds any good at all. Because even if the perfect name isn’t on the list
one of those names might inspire someone to blurt out the perfect name.🆒 ---

One name I was considering using if I started a band, was **Altered Perception**. Since it’s highly unlikely that I’ll have a band anytime soon, you’re free to use it if you’d like. Edit: Apparently, it’s the name of a movie that’s coming out [next year](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3165264/), so nix that idea
 
 sorry. ---

I don’t know why but the name Obamacare popped into my head on reading this topic. I don’t have any reason why it would be a good band name, it just amuses me to think of a heavy metal/deathcore band with that name. Probably not a good name, but whatever. ---

> [@MetalMaster](#): > > Thanks Vagabond. I guess that would be the way to go. I was just thinking of the name lately and next to nothing came to my mind Dude, you’ve got the answer and you don’t even know it. **Next to Nothing** would be a perfect name! It makes me imagine a Black Sabbath type of band, the kind that used to get dragged into court in the 1970s for making teenagers suicidally depressed. ---
