Need help choosing name
 

my friend is thinking about making a band and he needs help with chossing the name hes got 3 names that hes thinking about making it.

Is it a punk band or something?
I'm sorry they all sound lame to me. I couldn't choose. Try thinking of other ones.

I have to agree with Q.O.D. If I heard any of those, especially the first, I would fall into a coma before even getting to listen to them.

Paper Cuts Paper is the only one that makes sense.
I assume it refers to Paper Rock Scissors.
It is growing on me actually :)

The triangle one is plain stupid and the first one sounds like 3 emo band names run together.

I personally don't like any of them amd agree with Liriel. Try skimming through good fantasy books, or the lyrics of the bands influences, that might work. Or take every band members first name and rearrange the letters untill they make sense, or last names or mixes of some such things.

March After Rain In June Under A New Afternoon - Too long; too many prepositions; says absolutely nothing.
I couldn't help notocing its initials spell MARIJUANA, and I suppose that's why he came up with such a long name, in which case I hate it all the more.

Paper Cuts Paper - cutting? Sounds emo.

Purple Orange Triangle - Decide! Is it purple or is it orange. It should be Purplish Orange Triangle, which is still dumb.

I bet no one saw the MARIJUANA acronym;)

Last one is easy to remember(, first one sucks, and "paper cuts paper" sounds like a bad-attitude-girl-band from the 60's or something. I'd rather

Purple and orange are complimentary colors. It should be Gray Triangle.

How about Uninspired Crap? It's certainly descriptive of your unique personal style.

Last one is easy to remember(but is very simple and plain), first one sucks, and "paper cuts paper" sounds like a bad-attitude-girl-band from the 60's or something. I'd rather follow the advice from "An Ecentric cellist"

There are more acronyms.

MARIJUANA
PCP
POT

How about Parade of Travesties?

I don't know what's PCP

phen·cy·cli·dine
Pronunciation: (')fen-'sik-l&-"dEn, -'sI-kl&-, -d&n
Function: noun
: a piperidine derivative C17H25N used especially as a veterinary anesthetic and sometimes illicitly as a psychedelic drug to induce vivid mental imagery called also angel dust, PCP

I think we now know why Jokerman is so bad at thinking up band names.

Bravo, Jillian. You are as usual, on top of things. I did not even consider looking into these more indepth. It just hurt my brain to read them as they were... ;)

By the way, I would like to vote for Xng's name.

i think your all idiots and plus we dont live in the suburbs we live more in the foothills aka central california. we are kinda emo but at the same time we are drugies but we also like drinking more than smoking so ha bitches.

"Your all idiots"
"Kinda emo"
"We are Drugies"
"So ha bitches"

There. Choose one and go away.

Morrigan, you became 'Elder goth' in 34 days... wow... impressive...

hm... never mind, just something I noticed...

Now for the band names:
'Leave'
'Go away'
'Get the hell out of here!'
'Get lost'
'Fuck off'

:nods:

"I know no Grammer!" That would be cool band name. I was in a punk band named The Muff Divers.

Yeah... about that... I... Oh look! A distraction! *runs*

You dare call us idiots? I curse you. Prithee, I curse you from the depths of my little black heart. I'm a goth. I can do this. No, really, I can! I've practiced this skill for years - usually while I'm running like mad to preserve my virginity from these damned gothic vampire types.


I have an idea, call yourself "Go forth and bother us no more".

"March after rain in june under a new afternoon" has overtones of "The Rusty Siberian Traintracks of Our Forbidden Love (sniff)". Ditto "Paper Cuts Paper", but it's better than the last one.

I believe the message in this was way too subliminal for the "person"(and I use the word loosely) who posted this thread...

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I did make some constructive criticism. I just don't like their names.

Tell me the names of some of their songs and the meaning of those songs and I'll help you.

Someone seems a bit oblivious. Here's a clue Jokerman, "You equals lose".

I did:D
And, I hope Miriel wasn't being sarcastic with me.

What about "the Posuers", "the Mall Goths", or "Mansonite"?

Mopey Emos Living On drama

^^ My own little half-acronym.

i dislike all the ideas for new names except one which is the one by circle v that was Parade of Travesties its pretty cool but im sticking with my 3.

Melo-D? Sounds like a boy-band, hahaha! Yeah, the world needs one more of those as much as it needs another lame mall-punk band.

So, jokerman, are you gonna tell us a little bit more about this band of yours, or do you just want to sit there with the keyboard up your ass and not risk the idea of being ridiculed further? You can't just come here and ask for us to vote on a band name and not give any information at all. You gotta tell us a little something substantial, dude.

Come on let's hear it.

All of them suck. Of the choices given I like paper beats paper. But they still suck. Why dont you choose one, that doesnt, suck?

the band is kinda emo kinda goth but we are all friends and all drugies so we came up with the names on the school bus while we were all on drugs so we just need some help from our fellow peolple.

We are not your "peolple", or anything even resembling that. Obviously you have a hard time writing.

You... do drugs. On the school bus. It's pretty obvious you are a person with neither the maturity, nor the intelligence, to be trusted anywhere near even the softest drugs.

See, before you reach the age- and brain-level it takes to even consider the ploy of addling or expanding it with drugs, you'll have to wait some years. Maybe even decades, in your case.

Hell, why do I even bother with you. Go read a book or whatever, I don't care. But don't come back here until you know what a comma and a period is. Or a capital letter, that would also be swell, but let's not get our hopes up.

I don't want to give any ideas for an immature, drug-addicted, teenage little goth-emo band. I would bet my entire fortune that you don't even know a single gothic band. *hint* Nu-metal isn't what I mean.

and i lub u xngula 4 makin my day mor humurus did u no im a college stoodunt?

There's no fucking thing such as emo-gothic. It's just emo kids wanting to be gothic, but never achieving it, because gothic is not something you choose to be.
You're either smart enough to be a goth or you're not.
And, drugs are illegal. So, what does this mean? He confessed he does drugs. And on school property. As far as we know, he might be even dealing it.

I've always thought of emos as people who tried to be punk or goth, got beat up or ridiculed, and then formed their own winey pseudo-sub-culture.

That..may be your problem.
Though i believe many of the replies you've recieved have been a bit harsh, i don't think you should be asking other people's opinions unless your willing to take the heat. Either you want help, or you don't. I'm guessing you don't. Though i do like the potential interpretation of Paper Cuts Paper (the old pot calling the kettle black theory), I highly doubt that was your goal when you vomitted it into the world.

So here's my advice for you. Either take the criticism, or pick the name yourself. It's not like we're ever going to listen to it anyway.

Outch Im not feeling any of those but then who cares what I think hahahaha.

Kinda emo kinda goth? What the hell is that? Did you fail to make it as a goth so you decided to go for a half way deal?
You can't even spell druggies. I pity you.

That doesn't tell us about your sound. At all.

You fail.

Go back to your potsmoking because you're hardcore, I'll just take my cough medicine.

That's right! Losers like you are making me cough! Faark off and cut some more to your precious HIM music.

Pfft, Emo-Gothic? My ass is a better subculture than THAT.

Muhahahaha! Awesome.

heh, I think he's given up and moved on. *yay*
