If you become famous it doesn't really matter what your name is, as long it is easy to remember You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you become famous it doesn't really matter what your name is, as long it is easy to remember that's true. There are a lot of great bands with bad names... specially here in Spain !!! Anyway i think is a good idea to get one-word-name but not an usual one, or maybe one usual with altered spelling... for example: DHARK. It's easy to remember, easy to read and if you need to find information in the Internet it's also easy (it will not happens the same with DARK, if you look for it you will find too many pages in the searchers) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For instance, some friends of mine are playing in a girl band called Mellifluous Lunacy. Original name, but pretty long and hard to remeber excactly:P And agree with Bogdan, those band names - generators stink. My advice would be something catchy, filosophic or just cool/fun. A method I often use, is to find something cool in other languages to give a bit of exotic feel:) PS: Latin is sometimes great for metal band names:D You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If that doesn't work, you can always just take a song title and name your band after that, aslong as it's not like "Master of Puppets" or some other really well known song.

Then I just came up with cool words but the coolest way I ever came up with a name was doing vocabulary in anatomy class. Enucleation- surgical removal of the eye (or something like that) Just take a dictionary or something and look for cool words. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

When you have a couple of names hit search engines as well to make sure you are going to come out on top or close to, instead of page 502;). A unique name should help this aspect.
