The formula for perfect band names
Posted by WarwickHunt on 19 March 2010 - 7:52pm.
We've all heard that to create your pornstar name you should take your first pet's name and add it to your mother's maiden name ('Stickleback McCafferty' in my case, if you're wondering).
That caused me to ponder if there are similar formulae to create the perfect name for a band. For example, matching references to totalitarian regimes with varieties of household items and sundry equipment...
Adolf Butterknife
Soviet Twintub
...are the kind of results you might get.
Do you have any other ideas for the ideal combinations and results?

I think you've scuppered your own thread with Soviet Twintub. That is just perfect.

mind you my porn name would be florence beaver which i feel is also a perfect band name.
The perfect band name...
... should begin with a "The." They should be The somethings.
Oh, and my porn name would be Spliff Lee.
The Mau Mau Cheese Grater
Experience.
(Adding 'experience' to any band name will instantly render it cooler.)
