Hi Everyone, My band is doing a little re-branding & we need a new name. It's not a prog band, we're just a local cover band playing classic rock, 80's & 90's. Looking for something slick, catchy, not too raunchy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I didn't mean the famous meaning of the word "millennial", more like you stopped being interested in cultural productions after the first millennium, that is '90s.

Little more about the 80s and 90s, with some wordplays Past Millennium Nine Ties to Eighties Nine Tees & Eigh Tees 5 Tea to 80s and 90s The Future: 8090 AD Nineighty Milleightinineties Countdown: 90s-80s Most of them are crap, yet some can give any ideas perhaps.  |

| 80s A.D. would be cool, yet for a band that solely plays 80s. |

You could go the song title route: I'm not sure exactly what songs you play, but something like "Jukebox Heroes" or "Kashmir" or "Boot Wearing Faeries". -------------

80's band? How about Rubix which stands for Rubik's cube.

Fictitious band names I had as a kid for fictious bands I had: Craze (admittedly bad) The Figures of Speech The Sharks From This Point On (or maybe it was from now on I don't really remember) The little salad forks (first album was called "lettuce begin") I even drew album covers for some of them I think. I had quite an imagination as a kid. |
