I'm in a band, but we don't have a proper name yet. I'm seriously considering the name Masamune. We're heavy metal. Any suggestions?

Add "The" infront of a word and there you go! Wait... you same metal, not emo. :p
Seriously though, I'm not good at names, but good luck with your band. :)
My girlfriend said that our name should start with "The" because all bands who'se names start with "The" are all sexy, but I don't like any of them...
I don't think any of us here can, or should come up with a name for your band. It's something you all of you who are in the band should think and talk about, no matter how long it takes. None of us here know exactly what kind of music you play; the lyrics you write, how you sound, who you really are. And that's important, I think.
Or you could just call yourselves The Burgleficklers and be done with it. But fi yuo want a truly deep meaning to your name, I wouldn't be here. ;)
:D
'The' is good; but you can always be original and do something different. :D
The Steels!
Skid Marks
Damn it! NO THE! We're thinking Masamune but our rythm guitarrist wants the band to be called KTP: Kick The Pregnant. It's a great name, but way too punk...
Slaves to the Rhythm! :D ?

Very good?
"The [your username]"
Hmm... I'd have to build one first *gets bad ideas*
You sir have just given me the greatest idea of my life...
I like Masamune.
The Sofa King we Todd it(s)
That would be an awesome name
But why am I Sofa King we Todd it?
The band would be, with that kind of name lol
No, that's how the announcer would sound...
Wouldnt you know I sound like an idiot. YOUR looking for band suggestions, i figured it was just a random name >_>
Someone shoot me :(
poopcannon. duh.
skid marks is also pretty good.
but the ultimate band name would be Cat Molestation. I don't know why.

Fandom of Phantasy
Haunting Rale
Phyrestörm

buttstank

YOUR MUM
Seriously, you'd get a cult following no matter how crappily you played, just because so many people would be like "I'm going to see YOUR MUM!" "I spent all last night listening to YOUR MUM!" "YOUR MUM sounds real good!" and stuff like that.
umwell im ina bandour name is anything at all .
zombie burton (tribute to cliff burton)
KAPTAIN RANDOM
orion
malicious intent (that was good)
wrath child (isnt that a jimi hendrix song??)
octane

I think "Your Mother" has more of a ring to it than "Your Mum"
In Ireland (well Dublin) we say "yer ma" to make fun of skangers (chavs...)
How about....
Concrete Dead
The hunted
So true. Use that one.Quote:

"Them Ones"
i can help u with what NOT to name ur band.
do not use and of the following words "the, black,death(or any variation of it) a metal, blood, words ending in 'ist' or 'ism' or anything that sounds like it could be a hardcore band" everything on that list is overdone. try and make it something without any of those in there. hope it helps at all
and if at all possible dont use songs from other bands
wrath child is an Iron Maiden song

I see the "the" technique works. Not brilliantly, but effectively...
Cold shoulder!
The Couldn't Think Of a Name, So So Ice Cold.
Have it like "ridicously" long like that or somthing.
How about...
- The Prototypes
- Kindred Spirits
- ...After Dark
Could anything else really be acceptable?Quote:

I suggest that you think of something that has deep significance for you. So , when people ask you where your band name comes from, you have an excuse to start talking about something you love and value, be it a song, a year, a happening, a person or anything else.
Patrick and the Pussy Cats.
how about, the unforgivens?
I wouldn't suggest going with a mythological name too much, because they're overly used, especially when it comes to metal, and power metal specifically.
However, I do suggest finding some old non-spoken language books (like latin or old english for example), and check out cool words, which at the same time describe your bands style, for example "mors principium est" = death is (the) beginning (already in use by a Finnish death metal band), something like that.
Or then just dig up a contemporary english dictionary and find the rarest and longest word and there you have it. (This is probably the same method that Evanescense used :D)
Anyways, anything with a fateful and/or rugged sound is good. Also the shorter the name, the more rememberable it will be.
Something Random.
Shattered Silence.
Breaking Dawn.
Okay.....
Lemme think...
- The Wildcards
- Rabid Sheep
- Midway
thats all I got.
Shatter The Illusion
See, the initials are STI :)
Acid Trip.
Blood Brothers.
Lost Souls.
Earth On Fire.
My band's name is Falling Over, it's kinda punky since we're emo/punk style...
If ur a metal band then "ica" is a good ending... to basically any word too.
(don't be afraid to add to the "ica")
Hence:
Heimlich = Heimlicha
Taco = Tacotica
Telephone = Telephonica
Tsunami = Tsunamica
And so on...
More ideas -
Walking Deranged
Pahs Ultimus
Sacred Weapon
Apparition
SUPER-FUN-HAPPY-GOGO-TURTLE-WISH-FAIRY-SURPRISE-PEOPLE
as in "Metallica"? :( plz no it sounds so silly (at least to me)Quote:

My friends band is named the humping Emus... i think...
They're very good though!
How about... Nightshade! That was m old metal bands name, but we broke up after a member got pregnant...
With the "ica" thing, that's just coincidence with metallica. metallica is actually metallic in latin. The same goes for Sepultura, that's latin for a burial...
On that note, I was going through my latin dictionary a while ago and got some cool names:
Capulus - the handle of a sword
Lamina - a blade
Moriens - Death bed
Armamentarium - armour
and so forth... They weren't great though...
you should be called:
ORANGE SODA
unless of course there is already a band called that....
Masamune seems to playfull. How about...
Static course??
