I actually have some really good ones, but I don't know you so I'm not gonna throw them your way. I will however toss out one I know you'll never use.

TBA

The only reason I would use this is because I don't care to play live much. If I did, it would be very secret shows. Nobody would be able to tell when or where I'm playing under this name.

Yeah, you should call yourself the snarling midgets and have your band art solely consist of screaming dwarves punting cats through the air

Wait, I forgot, you're taking a cue from Green Day and shit. Just call yourselves "The Patchwork Quilts" and play up the fact that you're totally indie and original at any possible opportunity

Dixie

From your description of your band's music I would like to suggest the name:
Totally 90s Shit
That way everyone could tell by your name that you suck and they wouldn't have to part with $5 and 30 minutes of their time to find out. Truth in advertising.

As long as your not cliché or to long winded band names really aren't that important since the connotation people put on them is based on how they feel about the bands music.

I have no hope for zrainators band but it sure is a lot of fun coming up with band names.

well seeing as everyone can imagine exactly what your band is going to sound like (shit), cant you just do us all a favour and, you know, nip it in the bud? yeah, you might always be tormented by what could have been, but isnt it better to be forty, fat and full of regret than forever stained by what will by all accounts be a horrible fucking band? since you cant even think of a band name, let me make this easy for you: dont bother.

See, I read your first post and thought you were incredibly stupid for thinking that "Warning"'s 1997 release constituted "early" Green Day. Turns out it was just a fluke in my memory; you're actually incredibly stupid for thinking that "Warning"'s 2000 release constitutes "early" Green Day.

So, to answer your question, your best band name idea would be:
"Probably born in the 90s"

You can call your first album "Bad Understanding of Chronology". Most of the songs should incorporate lyrics explaining how you learned in early 2005 that Green Day had other albums than "American Idiot" while most of your friends didn't know that until later in the year.

I saw Green Day FOUR FUCKING TIMES before 1994! So combine that with Sonic Youth's "Confusion is Sex" LP and Celtic Frost's "Emperor's Return" EP and you may have something. Especially, if you throw some Residents, DEVO, or Public Enemy influ into it. Then call it....

i meant early green day, as in "green day that doesnt suck ass" (dookie, Warning) not nimrod, cuz it was crap, and not kerplunk, cuz it sucked.
american idiot and insomniac can blow me, and as far as i care, you can too. dont talk to me about green day.

how about "Slappy"? or "1000 Hours"? Those were the first two 7 inch records that they released on Lookout Records back in like 1991? I sold them in 1994 to a used shop and the guy's jaw hit the goddamn floor. Worthless to me, at the time. I wanted GBH or The Residents.

i meant early green day, as in "green day that doesnt suck ass" [redaction: I suck immensely]

Nah, I figured that if I wanted to get over my inability to like them above mere "better than most bands out there now, I guess" levels that's persisted since 1994, the time I saw them in concert in 1999 would have done it. So, no, I wasn't really talking to you so much about Green Day as I was about how much you suck.
