Shihad name competition...

A light southerly breeze told me that the name may still be undecided. Post your suggestions here - just the name nothing else, no comments or repeats - go for the glory! If it does get chosen it'll be provable here that you suggested it! We'll give you some choice prizes from us and maybe Tomble if we can con him nicely. Maybe it'll help the boys in their time of need to know the motherland is looking out for them...

Short names?? You got it...

Galablu
Shed
Outski
Tomble (But will his band mates agree??)
Secatar
Euphorius
Shelow
Shegot
Nimtow
Roy
Panami
Ganzai

Once again, these are all totaly random, but who knows... maybe something will interest the gusy :)

Appeal to the psychos I say... 'Utu' but then again Bono might have something to say about that name.

working on the rumour i heard that they want a short name
illicit
heighten
sentine
sedate
flinch
stem
fued
coax/coaxed
jadestrike or maybe just 'jaded'
decision horizon
bouche (french, said boosh)

devolve
churn - hey nothing wrong with recycling names

oh the temptation to put 'the jimi's' but we all know how egocentric that would be ;)

hmm reading over those ive realised that band names always sound gay unless they have good music to back them up.... ah well i tried

cya

> band names always sound gay unless they have good music to back them up...

never a truer word spoken. they'll just have to take the plunge and accept that most people are going to go, 'that's lame' until they get used to it.

eg. terrible names but great bands: smashing pumpkins, the gordons, dating godot, r.e.m, loves ugly children, pearl jam...

metal bands can at least go for that death/disease/magic thing, but rock/pop bands who just want 'a simple name' are invarialby stuffed by the fact that (like domain names) all the good single words are taken, eg...

churn

devolve

and would the jimi's ( I know you didn't actually proffer it jimi, but I couldn't resist looking) get confused with these guys...

or even (hahaha, these guys are great)...

SHEHADIT

Either spelling keeps their original name but altered just a little bit so it keeps the bands original flavour. Good luck guys.

Maybe Tomble can give us a sneek preview of the name before the BDO?

Utu
Bushfelloffhissofa

Continuing with the David Lynch tradition, why not:
- (Mr.) Roque (pronounced Rowk) - from Mulholland Drive, or
- Durrango - from Wild at Heart

I think Roque would be cool

That's all I can think of on the fly. What about something distinctly New Zealand-esque (Maori or European) to lend a sense of identity to the band?

I've scoured the web in search of inspiration and come up with these

GoD BLeSs...

the war against love <

i actually think that some band names sound really good... i mean look at machine gun felatio..... you am i.....nancy vandal... i think they all sound excellent.band names can sound crap.... but remember that you are your name... and that the name should somehow represent the music. i know my names arn't prime examples and everyone should already know this but hey...also cliched names are never great.... i think as long as you stay away from that you should be fine. im sure the had will dazzle us with what they choose..... and obviously bands want names that are somewhat simple.... its much easier to say "may favourite band are you am i" than "my favourite bands are The Wankers and the slimey green treefrogs" ........or something.
Names that are too goofy suck im afraid.

my vote THE WAR AGainsT LOVE!
