HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT NAME FOR YOUR BAND

[@saturnight.3026]

Finally, the best practical advice out there.

[@arsfarciministhorkeksson7661]

What about finding an artist name for yourself (as a band member)? Especially when you have a really shit real name

[@evieroyster6654]

my band is trying to find a name and this was really helpful

[@musicenvironment]

Is there a place where I can stream your music

[@jasonday8334]

so once a band name is established, how important is it to get it trademarked?

[@dynamorphic]

It's not.

[@maniacrecords6220]

Yea it kinda ruins it

[@Scottish995]

its only really important once you actually have some traction in the industry and $$$ coming in

[@antlerup]

This was really helpful, thanks for these ideas!

[@petegordonmusic8595]

You could do this with an excel random function. I can send you a file if you'd like.

[@Jen_TheSnail]

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!😁😆😆😆😆

[@ianbarber2937]

You should learn how to produce your own stuff too

[@issaccartwright736]

should probably also learn what is legal self defence in your area. Best of luck fellow human.

[@nigel7880]

I'm so glad you're only 3 hours away. I love knowing this energy is in-state.

[@TheOmnisProject]

That’s a really good way to technique, thanks

[@seviregis7441]

A band name should reflect, even if in the abstract, the orientation of that band.

[@ollycarter9809]

This helped create my bands name, Lemon Skies, thank you sm for all your super helpful videos

[@rileyrileyrileyriley761]

that’s cool i like that name

[@velv3ts]

Yo, thats a sick ass name

[@sergioavila6232]

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"

[@JoeyWarfield]

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

[@BartholomewCounty]

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.

[@deathnthrashingmadness1971]

i call my project plan metal band thingy “the passion of killing”

[@norlanderduwallis9074]

Hey, that's not bad at all actually. I'd join.

[@remotegod255]

"Chaplain's Daughter" is a dank name lol

[@Walkinamaze]

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.

[@genevieve9743]

love this concept!

[@marissa8561]

This was my 42yrls old mom recommend

[@xanderfilms8820]

Her group of mom friends need a name that's why 😂

[@myak5754]

@@xanderfilms8820 She needs a book club name😂

[@KalimochoBoys]

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.’

[@joshdrewpic]

"sea of noise" is actually pretty sick

[@tots8982]

Pretty basic

[@MrWazhead]

what i was thinking

[@velv3ts]

Kinda basic tbh, but still sick

[@georggerog566]

We found our bandname through a dumb joke about nipples XD Now we are called STEVE NIPPLES & THE CREW and we love it !!!!!!!!

[@knottednape]

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.

[@kassiopeia2795]

should have watched this video a year ago. Would have saved a lot of discussion and headache!

[@r3fat661]

You're awesome man Thank you 4 Sharing 🤗

[@neipetal8405]

Me and my friend Xaila are calling out band "Neighbors" bc thats her last name

[@NickMcC]

100th comment! Thanks for the practical advice. This was better than 99% of the videos out there on this topic. Cheers!

[@melverys]

Great video! Amazing idea!

[@Alice_peter]

thank you sir..it was really helpful

[@snotrat2]

What about Thousand island dressing

[@velv3ts]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@iamcIancy]

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

[@arvrockstars1662]

Mee too

[@myak5754]

I mean if you make a bandcamp or yt channel you probably can. Thats how most people start out.

[@velv3ts]

I'd reccomend starting on social media. KZbin, bandcamp and even instagram / tiktok (the last two for promoting; the first two for publishing music)

[@cousinstv6985]

Love this, shame we already have a band name :D

[@lostandfoundcollective9575]

#60minwin Skype. Great idea, never heard of anyone doing it that way before. Loved the video, please keep them coming.

[@mejal4555]

I named mine "The Queens", is that good`

[@daygofuego]

Sure it isn’t bad

[@seegerfuckinjames]

it sucks lmao

[@velv3ts]

Its a little close to Queen.

[@thesocialartsclub9095]

I'm gonna name my band Damian Keyes

[@steves7896]

Can't you just hear Shirley Bassey, "Gollllld Fishy......"

[@jebatman756]

The method is cool, thanks for that..I'm not a fan of the actual possibilities and no, the word Goldfish ain't cool

[@jebatman756]

Xavier Rodriguez did you actually listen to what he said? I was just making a comment on him saying the word Goldfish is cool

[@dolphinleary3777]

We went with FOGGY GLUED for the name of the band

[@klonklone7787]

My bands name is Mercury Down

[@alexgirbu8498]

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 ?

[@cousinstv6985]

Chaplin Trees would work well.

Worst way to make a band name. Here’s a way better way: use song names and book titles

[@richardlecomte4874]

A thousand Chaplans.

[@AJCzarkowski]

Local Drinkers is what I thought of from that list 😂

[@luwo3814]

GOldfish. Thats it!

[@aliviawatkins2738]

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

[@velv3ts]

Damn thats sick as hell! Got any music out?

[@icantthinkofaname.7302]
