I used to come up with band names as a teen, often of one word, so see what did you come up with? I came up with this:

Lathe
Pants
Bomb
Combat 18 and a half
A House Full of Naked People
Motorpsycho FC
Tri-power & The Hemis

Later:
The Spindle Mounts
The Whitewall Slicks

Haha, I'm way too old to remember what band names I thought of as a kid! But I see words or phrases almost daily in people's Facebook status updates or news stories that would make for some pretty killer band names.

 

Some recent ones I've whipped out:

 

Giant Dick From Space

Nattering Nabobs of Negativity

Nature Is Nasty

Street Taco

New World Army Screw Worms

Underground Landfill Fire

Baseball Activities

Beautiful Sag

Lobotomized Demeanor

Right-Wing Truckers

Twisted Wrister

Backyard Rollercoasters

African Dust Clouds

Sassy Black Grandpas

Mega Balls

Pink Slime

 

etc. etc. etc.

I like the name  "House Full of Naked People" , even though I'm POSITVE I would not like their music , if they were a real band.

 

My first little band , in High School , was called "Born in an Elevator'' , a name I lifted from my Brother w/o his consent. The others , one of whom was from Sussex , UK , did'nt like the name , said it was too long , but long band names were "In " at the time.

 

Myself , I remember coming up with these names :   Malaria (Which turned out to be a real band's name.).

                                                                            Green Chinese Vomit (OK , a friend said that to me , trying to gross me out , but it was my idea to use it as a joke band name.).

                                                                            The Inedible Punks.

                                                                            Christian Marxists.

                                                                            Neutron Prom (I did use that one.).

                                                                            Elvis From Hell (Used that , too.).

 

                                                                         Later in life , Psycho * Davy and I played out as : Sick Sober and Sorry (An old Elvis quote I said to Dave. It was HIS idea to 

use it as a band name , though.).  We also performed as The 13th Floor Elvis Impersonators . I also played out just once with Daughters of Frankenstein ,in which I was the only "Male member". If I think of more of my earlier band names I thought of , I'll postthem , here. There really were some good ones. Honest. 

i USED TO DRAW CARTOON OF PUNK BANDS WHEN I WAS A KID (I MEAN , WHEN FIRST AND SECOND WAVE PUNK WERE STILL HAPPENING.) . I WAS INFLUENCED BY NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GREAT PUNK PARODY , AND MY OWN IGNORANCE.   I DID A RECORD CLUB CARTOON WITH ALL THESE PUNK RECORDS YOU COULD ORDER , LIKE "SATURDAY NIGHT RUPTURE , VARIOUS ARTISTS" , "CHUCK BERRY GOES PUNK !'', "DEVO VS. THE TALKING HEADS" ("COVER " DEPICTING A "BATMAN" STYLE CARTOON FISTFIGHT, AND , OF COURSE , BANDS LIKE MALARIA AND GREEN CHINESE VOMIT.

 

THEN THERE WAS - GRAND PUNK RAILROAD . MY FRIEND AND I MADE A STOP - MOTION FILM OF THIS BAND DUKING IT OUT , ONSTAGE , WITH THE HIPPIE BAND , CAPTAIN ACID. THIS WAS ALL DONE WITH HIS 60'S - ERA GI JOES.

Somebody needs to grab this one NOW: The Craigslist Killers

i like.  I loved the movie title "The Weird Lovemakers' , so , I thought , if I ever started another band , I'd use that name. Of course , someone else beat me to the punch.            Years ago , I had "Brian Jones' Kids" MANY years before that other band.   Recently I thought of "The Empty Hearts". Probably been used already. We tried to start a band in college with , like , eight people , all from different backgrounds. I wanted to call it "THE MUSHROOMS THAT TURNED INTO PEOPLE". It did'nt get past the practice stage. We did have Patrick "Taz" Bentley , later with Reverend Horton Heat , signed on as Drummer.  When I'd sit in with THEE Shitty Beatles (That was before Wayne's World and all the bands that stole the name.) , and I'd been playing out as Elvis From Hell , we were called The Shitfaced Beatles from Hell. Horton Heat sat in with us once , and David Thomas from Pere Ubu walked in . From the word go , he hated it , but , was persuaded to stay. We began doing "Non Alignment Pact" by Pere Ubu. I never saw a man his size run so fast , since Gleason !   When Bloodshot Bill and I have performed together, in the past , I called it BLOODSHOT BATTLES OVERDRIVE. I have'nt seen him since the ban was lifted , hopefully there'll be a reunion performance.   

Other band names I came up with included:

 

Urban Idiots (Good name for a festival, methinks)

Jesus Lenin

Ultimate Weapon

 

After persuading my parents to buy me a drumset as a present for my 13th b-day (a very difficult task to undertake, btw) i wanted to have a band of course and so my boyfriend, a good friend of mine and i, started to meet in my garage to make some music.. I can´t recall much about the names each of us proposed, i can just remember that one of my suggestions was to call us The Stillborn or Born Dead or something like this...  (which pretty good reflected my gaiety at that time) ;D  Anyway, making some covers did work pretty well first but than in the attempt to create some songs we were NEVER AGREED!! So i started to call ourself "The LITIGIOUS"!! and well....no need to say that this band didn´t last long! :D

My first band at 13 were called Condemned Utopia. Then had Nothing Yet at 16, christened when we plugged a gig in The Big Issue in the UK and didn't have a name. When asked what we were called, our bassist replied, "nothing yet", and so we were. It lasted one gig till he discovered Kula Shaker and changed the name to Djin.

....I REMEMBER , NOW......Anothe movie title that'd make a great band name "The Horrible Sexy Vampire(s)" . It's yours , take it. Me and musicians....we don't get along too tough.
