Come on, I know every last one of you has thought about it, either as kids or even as adults, and maybe as recently as last night. Here's the question: If you started a band, what would the name of your group be? Or what's a list of band names you've thought of that you might choose from?
Also, along the same lines, what are some of the best and worst band names out there? Is it completely subjective as to whether a name is good or bad? I've seen people who love the name "Toad the Wet Sprocket" and then people who hate it. But there seem to be some names loved or hated by all. "Kajagoogoo" comes to mind as one nobody can stand, while most like "The Psychedelic Furs."
Use imagination worthy of The Realm of Possibility, but at the same time, try to keep it as PG-13 as you can. And I'm certain we're all mature enough here, on the honor code, that we're not going to laugh at someone else's lame name.
For instance, Ken and I threw one of my old favorites into our novel, Dorkman (or Stick a Dork in Me, I'm Done):
The Dead Misers
Now, although that's not a lame name, there might be someone out there thinking about laughing at it. But we don't hear them because they're not laughing. Why? Because we're... all... on... the... honor... code.
Now, for anyone brave enough, take your shots and don't be afraid.

Gondor Shall Call... and Rohan Will Answer!
Can you imagine?
