Band name generator.

No need for me to learn how to code after all! This first site displays 4 or 5 randomly generated names as the page loads. Just click on the refresh button for more names. I found this to be very entertaining! It came up with,

Buck Edwards and the Midnight Java Quartet
Headhog
Five Hamsters and Time
The Famous Flower Squad
Handful of Litterbugs (My Favourite)
Sylvester Marley and the Happy Police

Every time you refresh, it generates 4 or 5 new names.

Band Name Maker

This site actually gives you an option to enter a Keyword. I tried to confuse it with 2 words 'Kipper House'

This is what I got:

Kipper House Cavity
Kipper House Accolade
Kipper House Cave
Kipper House Substance
Kipper House Informant of the Def Dancer (Fantastic!)
Kipper House Detonation
Perception of the Kipper House Lib
Lethal Kipper House

I?ve been quite flippant in the use of these sites and had a great time too. But it might be just the place to look if you are trying to name or even re-name your band! Try the links above and have a look around. You might just hit the right note!

I've decided to combine a few names that were generated and I've come up with this as the name for our folk duo...

?Buck Edwards and the Hamsters of the Fat Venom Kipper house Informant?

I?m sure we?ll be HUGE!
