Tips for a name that sticks
Say it like an announcer
Imagine 'Please welcome, to the stage...' before each name. The ones that sound exciting out loud are the ones worth shortlisting.
Match the name to the sound
A soft, dreamy name sets odd expectations for a heavy band. Let the words hint at the genre and mood you actually play.
Check it's not already taken
Search the name on streaming services and the web before you print it on anything. A unique name keeps your music easy to find.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good band name?
Something memorable, easy to say, and a fit for your sound — distinctive enough that fans can search it and actually find your music.
Are these band names free to use?
The names are free to use, but always check streaming platforms and do a quick trademark search first, since another act may already use one.
How do I check if a band name is taken?
Search it on Spotify, YouTube and the web. If nothing prominent comes up and the social handles are free, it is usually safe to claim.
