My band got it's name from our state animal. The state animal of Nevada is a Big Horn sheep and the scientific name for sheep is Ovis Aries. Therefore our name is "OVIS"
honest question.. how important would you say it is to not chose a name that has already been claimed by another local/indie band? With social media/spotify brings the endless amounts of smaller bands you can find, so it becomes kind of a headache to avoid overlapping with another small band's name.
Absolutely love the thinking behind this. Usually whenever I've been in a situation like this it has been "Alright chaps, what can you think of?" And we would just call out words at random. Love your videos Damo! Cheers
I'm looking for a name for my guitar company and my line of guitars. This could crossover well because I don't want to have an existing band's name as a part of my guitar brand. Starting from scratch here, been looking for some time.
What about if you are trying to come up with an individual artist's name? Do you have any tips? Thank you for this advice! I really like the method you shared here.
So could you literally have a band name that's not taken and start writing and publishing music without being under a company? I'm asking bc im 14 and want to start on with my bestie
My band and I decided on "Teen insomnia" then we decided we like the name "Teen spirits bleed" I listen to ALOT of punk rock or emo rock bands. So we have became... TEEN SPIRITS ARE DYING
Damien's Attempt: 1. Chaplin's Daughter 2. Tramp 3. Goldfish.... Cute... My Attempt: 1. Cataclysm 2. Armageddon 3. Planetary Annihilation where does the creative advice end and the psyche evaluation begin on this channel? ...asking for a friend.
Finally, the best practical advice out there.
so once a band name is established, how important is it to get it trademarked?
It's not.
Yea it kinda ruins it
its only really important once you actually have some traction in the industry and $$$ coming in
my band is trying to find a name and this was really helpful
Is there a place where I can stream your music
What about finding an artist name for yourself (as a band member)? Especially when you have a really shit real name
You could do this with an excel random function. I can send you a file if you'd like.
This was really helpful, thanks for these ideas!
"Chaplain's Daughter" is a dank name lol
I’m currently talking to a music producer cause he wants to produce my music!!! I need a band name though! I’m 13 and I’m soooo excited!😁😆😆😆😆
You should learn how to produce your own stuff too
should probably also learn what is legal self defence in your area. Best of luck fellow human.
This helped create my bands name, Lemon Skies, thank you sm for all your super helpful videos
that’s cool i like that name
Yo, thats a sick ass name
A band name should reflect, even if in the abstract, the orientation of that band.
I'm so glad you're only 3 hours away. I love knowing this energy is in-state.
We found our bandname through a dumb joke about nipples XD Now we are called STEVE NIPPLES & THE CREW and we love it !!!!!!!!
i call my project plan metal band thingy “the passion of killing”
Hey, that's not bad at all actually. I'd join.
My band got it's name from our state animal. The state animal of Nevada is a Big Horn sheep and the scientific name for sheep is Ovis Aries. Therefore our name is "OVIS"
love this concept!
That’s a really good way to technique, thanks
This was my 42yrls old mom recommend
Her group of mom friends need a name that's why 😂
@@xanderfilms8820 She needs a book club name😂

You're awesome man Thank you 4 Sharing 🤗
should have watched this video a year ago. Would have saved a lot of discussion and headache!
This is why Sam Fender will be legend. He has the self deprecating power of the Boss to be like, ‘my name sounds cheesy, but it’s actually me.’
Thank you so much ❤️
100th comment! Thanks for the practical advice. This was better than 99% of the videos out there on this topic. Cheers!
"sea of noise" is actually pretty sick
Pretty basic
what i was thinking
Kinda basic tbh, but still sick
thank you sir..it was really helpful
Great video! Amazing idea!
Me and my friend Xaila are calling out band "Neighbors" bc thats her last name
#60minwin Skype. Great idea, never heard of anyone doing it that way before. Loved the video, please keep them coming.
The method is cool, thanks for that..I'm not a fan of the actual possibilities and no, the word Goldfish ain't cool
Xavier Rodriguez did you actually listen to what he said? I was just making a comment on him saying the word Goldfish is cool

So could you literally have a band name that's not taken and start writing and publishing music without being under a company?
I'm asking bc im 14 and want to start on with my bestie
Mee too
I mean if you make a bandcamp or yt channel you probably can. Thats how most people start out.
I'd reccomend starting on social media. TH-cam, bandcamp and even instagram / tiktok
(the last two for promoting; the first two for publishing music)
What about Thousand island dressing
My name is Alex Girbu and I want to be a Singer, so any suggestions to mix up with something or just a fake last name idea ?
Love this, shame we already have a band name :D
My bands name is Mercury Down
Can't you just hear Shirley Bassey, "Gollllld Fishy......"
GOldfish. Thats it!
I named mine "The Queens", is that good`
Sure it isn’t bad
it sucks lmao
Its a little close to Queen.
Chaplin Trees would work well.
Worst way to make a band name. Here’s a way better way: use song names and book titles
I'm gonna name my band Damian Keyes
Local Drinkers is what I thought of from that list 😂
No QUEEN WAS COOL
Foresaken
Foreskin
. @Enter Name Here This is the type of bullying I wish I had when trying to choose a name.
A thousand Chaplans.
We went with FOGGY GLUED for the name of the band
Thirsty Goldfish!
I like the name Megaforce
Traffic in a Goldfish Bowl...
I love that name!
Better song name IMO
My band and I decided on "Teen insomnia" then we decided we like the name "Teen spirits bleed" I listen to ALOT of punk rock or emo rock bands. So we have became...
TEEN SPIRITS ARE DYING
Damn thats sick as hell! Got any music out?
#60MINWIN (T-shirt please)
Unrelated but I learned most of that Phonics album on the guitar once
Pick a monster truck name
I LOVE MONSTER TRUCKS!!
Slag Slurper
Goldfish drinkers
