In a shopping center near where I work there are three small shops next to each other with generic shopping center signage – **Karate Bagels Dance** I always thought that would be a good band name. Or maybe a kids TV show. The Dance place is gone now, so it says **Karate Bagels** which could still work. Also thought of one in the car the other day, but it isn’t coming to mind – maybe it was **Unintended Consequences** but that doesn’t sound as good now as I remember. ---

When my current band was first starting and we didn’t have our girl singer, I was the only American alongside two Brits and a Kiwi. The name I suggested? **Just One Yank** ---

Wouldn’t Urban Decay be a great band name? That’s about the worst name I can think of for a line of cosmetics. ---

After a Horticulture class at the local career center, my wife asked me what we did that evening. Explained to her that we were “propagating succulents.” Yeah, band name. ---

Not here to add a name, really, but another dimension to the ‘game’. My friends and I come up with the ‘band name’ thing all the time. It usually goes like this: _odd combination of words is brought up_ “Oh, in college I was in a band called _combo of words_” “Really? What kind of music?” Then the trick is to come up with the weirdest music combo possible to go with the name. I think the current champ is death klezmer.
