If I ever form a band, I would like to name it Sister Andrea, after the Mahavishnu Orchestra song on From Nothingness ot Eternity.

Really, all you have to do is make something up. When my friend and I started a band recently, we came up with a bunch of song names first, then decided on a name based on one of those song titles.

I' m working in a project, it's a little bit prog but what i like about the music we are doing is that we are not closed in one style, we like to do whatever we want, but it has to have a nice sound, we have power metal songs, heavy metal songs, progressive, there is one that is kind of classic music, a couple of hard rock, it's not SUCH a thing but i think we have good songs... the fact is that with this "style" we put the name RANDOM, if you think, you'll release that it has many sense...
sometimes to get a name I change some leters of a word, once i took a french word i can't remember wich one and I changed a couple of letters so i get LETIC... is not too bad I think... that is a good method i guess

i actully have a list of 30 band names that are all amazing, me and my band had to like really look it through and decide what best fit us. What I do is, I always remember random words I hear and like, by the end of the week im chanting two of the words together in my mind, then i write it down, haha.

Names seem to spring up all over the place...
 
I had a cellphone (Siemens I think) and the first time I ever turned it on it said "Warning: Acoustic Shock Hazard"
 
And I thought "Acoustic Shock Hazard"  What an awesome band name.
 
I heard a wine connoisseur describe some vintage Chablis as "Like an angel crying on your tongue"... and I thought "Angels Tears" - Good band name
 
Here are a few others off the top of my head...  Feel free to use 'em*:
 
Broken Chalice
Galeforce
Molten Bronze
Profile Space
Fresnel Effect
Coil
Faded Picture
Amberfly
Ocular Memory
Nightglow
Reset
 
Characters in SF/Fantasy literature might be a good source of names too.  Think Tolkien, or Jack Vance or something like that.
 
*Of course someone already might have - I didn't check Smile

If we had named our band by collecting the first letter of each member, we would be called ARCNM or STDJT... ConfusedLOL

What if you have a name, but don't know if anyone else has it?
