Help me with band name ideas please

Hi everyone, I have finally got a power metal band, and I am just wondering if any of you have band name ideas that I could take to the other band members....

unless they sound like elvenking then that might not be the most suitable

i'll have a think

Didn't we already do this? Uhhh, maybe something video game themed, like Powerglove. It'd give you more song writing material. Exmp. Fable, Diablo, Oblivion<-- rpg theme bands. Marathon, 007, Unreal<--fps bands. Doom; a band that does songs mostly about Space Marines, Mars, demons from Hell. Theres already a Final Fantasy band called the Black Mages, but there an orchestral number. A band called Umbrella that does songs about the world getting overrun by the T-virus. <--sick. You know shit like that. Just a suggestion.

Then the most suitable name for them would be Vacuum. Cause, you know, it sucks.

Ohh, Rokai scores a direct hit.

Jason, I have said this before and I'll say it again, if you want a band name, believe it or not, the periodic table of elements is a fantastic place to look for band names.

You can edit some of the element names, or you can keep them.

My band's name is called 'Palladium', which is an element.

Or any scientific term for instance, Nimbostratus (a type of cloud).

Exactly.

It's amazing how many cool band names you can get out of science.

gamma ray comes to mind

some great ideas.... keep suggesting them

you could use a place name or a characters name from a book you like? even you could change it around a bit.

Alla breve

ADDER'S TONGUE, from the Du. adderstong, in old MSS.
called nedderis gres (grass) and nedderis-tonge, M. Lat.
serpentaria, from its spike of capsules having some fancied
resemblance to that reptile's tongue,

Tolkien named only four dragons in his Middle-earth writings. Another, Chrysophylax Dives, appears in Farmer Giles of Ham, a story separate from the Middle-earth corpus.

Glaurung was the Father of Dragons.
Ancalagon, the Dark Lord Morgoth bred Ancalagon.
Scatha was a mighty "long-worm" of the Grey Mountains.
Smaug was the last great dragon of Middle-earth.

Thanks for all those ideas guys. Will be putting some of them to the band on Sunday. We will be working on a mix of covers and originals over the coming months. That way we expect to be able to start gigging later in the year. Once we have enough of our own material we will be able to drop the covers.
At the moment we are working on Sonata Arcticas Victorias Secret and a couple of our own, one entitled Eyes Of The Warrior Queen. Also, we will be looking at PA systems around 2.5KW.
Something tells me we might end up in Newcastle later in the year.

well, if you do...let me know
