Band Name Fodder

Most of these are "found English" -- heard on a TV show, seen on a package, found in Everything, and so forth. Jon and I started keeping a list, and others such as Ben Ostrowsky (especially with the list from the computer game "Popstar") and Sean Michael Shaffer contributed to it. Since I put tracking software on my site, I've even taken some of the phrases people have searched for and gotten to one of my pages. We've used a few of these as names for College Bowl teams, and we'd like to hear (at segnbora@amuck.com) if anyone else finds any use for them. (If you recognize the source of any, then obviously you're just as big of a media junkie as me and my friends.)

Surprisingly, at least thirty-nine of the ones on the older versions of this list turned out to have been already used by bands or as people's pseudonyms; this was discovered when I ran Google searches on these phrases (and in a few cases when a band member emailed me asking that their name be removed).

We're not the only ones with this idea. For more hypothetical band names, check out these sites:
