you really dont give us too much to work with......first off what kind of band is it?

I'm guessing since you posted in the punk forum that its a punk band? I don't really have any good ideas for you. Just try and find a name that means something to you, sounds cool, and isan't already taken.

You can generate some random names to give you some ideas. A dictionary is also a good source of inspiration.

If i were in a band I wouldnt ask strangers to make up a name for us. You know your band has like no substance when they cant even think of a name for themselves.

i totally agree.. the name must be really personal.. it's like askin someone to write your diary for ya.. man, that's lame..

Awwww, come on guys! Cut the guy/gal just a little bit of slack. Sometimes people have a hard time being creative (which doesn't forbode well for a band). Maybe he's just having some sort of writers block? I've tried to help all I can, and I know from several bands I've been in that it can be hard to think up a name, especially when people are super picky about the name (which they should be).

if he can't think of anything, he'll call it "simple plan" and that's it
