Which band name do you like?

Out of the choices provided, I'm nominating "Where's Sven" Maybe uses those upside down question marks before and after the name All the names that started with "Silver" instantly made me think of the band Silverchair, so in my opinion this is a bad thing as you are an original group, and don't want people thinking of other bands when they hear your band name. In addition, Creve Coeur, could be a good name, however I'm pretty sure that you live in Illinois or Montana

I like Since and The Novembers.
You've picked a good place to find names, I got the name of my dog from doing a survey!

I like Silverleaf and Since: Don't really know why Silverleaf sounds good off the tongue and Since is simple but different. Is there a reason that The Silkweeds is not what you want to keep. Sounds like you all are putting out some great sounds though. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Other: SmokinWeed, Where's the weed?, GimmesomeWeed, Iweeweed, WeedEater, PullaWeed, Yardofweeds. I like all of those ones.

Silvergirl and Silverleaf.
There are way too many bands starting with 'the'.

Back in the 60's when I was a lead guitar player the bands I played in were called The Overlords, The Children of Syn and A Lemon Fog. I knew and saw alot of bands that were local to our area just as we were, like REO Speedwagon. Just locals kids then. Guess they made it and we didn't.

Don't care much for your names. Why so many starting with "S"? Band names are hard to pick I think.

I like Silvergirl best of these. I don't like The Silkweeds because it brings to mind Meryl Streep (whom I like just fine but don't want to think about in association with your band). Silvergirl sounds...I don't know, nymphic or something. Since you have a female lead vocalist, it works.

I'm leaning towards "Silverleaf" and "Silverweeds", but "Silvergirl" isn't bad either.

Silverleaf.

I liked Silvergirl the best.

How about Morning Wood?

I like five of them. In order of preference:

1. November
2. Silkweed
3. Silverleaf
4. Silvergirl
5. Silverweed

I haven't looked at what the others have said yet, but I think a really good name for the type of band you are is, simply, Silken. It is easily spelled, and it can have sexy undertones, but still support the Christian thread that runs through the music. It can be extrapolated to mean Silking (sexy), Silken (smooth) and does not offend on any level.

Silkweed doesn't have a very good reputation of its own, so I wouldn't adopt that one.
Silvergirl, Silverleaf are trying too hard without much imagination.
Creve Coeur doesn't appeal to the english speaking fans you are trying to capture.
Since sounds too much like Sinns, unless you are going for that type of audience. And because it is so phonetically ambiguous, people will not be able to find reviews of your music if they are not entirely sure of your name.
Where's Sven makes me think of looking for the masseur.
The Novembers is Okay, but doesn't strike the heart of me.
The Sandiskies is like "wtf does that mean"
The Silverweeds is Okay. I like it.

I like the Silkweeds

I thought you would suggest The Interstates!

I thought you would suggest The Interstates!

How about Twistermime?

Nope.....although that'd be a great idea!!!!

I like Morning Wood. It was always a joke with me and my ex and his son wrote a poem about morning wood. Very funny. I'll have to find it and post it.

Other.

I saw a someone's screen name the other day that cracked me up and I haven't been able to get out of my head.. It would make an excellent name for your band:

"FudgeTard"

In highschool, there were some kids who had a rock band called "Overlord".. they played at people's houses for parties and things. It was pretty hardcore music.

Since is cool too.

I like Crève Coeur but most of the world wouldn't pronounce it properly...

I really like Where's Sven! Something surely inspired this name and I already would like to know what did! Reporters always ask this question!

I would be very eager to help but I really need to hear a song or two. Any I can download from somewhere? Can you e-mail me an MP3?

"however I'm pretty sure that you live in Illinois or Montana"
Now how did you deduce that?
BTW - We picked the same names!

What's your dog's name?

I got the an original idea for bonbonieres here, for my daughter's wedding. Lilly333 inspired me!

You didn't need to be anonymous to post that!

I dunno... I didn't like the "silver" anything. Reminds me too much of a band called the Silver Beatles. And guess what part of their name they dropped?

I do like the Silkweeds best. It's catchy, rolls off the tongue nicely, and isn't as cutesy, trendy or pretentious as some of the others. "Where's Sven" makes me giggle, but it would almost guarantee one-hit-wonder status. Nobody would take you seriously at all (and you do want to be taken somewhat seriously, right?)

Where's Sven came from a line in the movie Titanic. The part where Jack Dawson boards the ship and is in his room. Jack won the ticket from a guy name Sven. And when Jack shows up, the two guys who were already there looked confused. One said to the other "Where's Sven". As far as mp3s we only have basement practice tapes for now, but are about to record our first cd. I can talk to our guitar player about getting something on mp3 to email ya. Thanks

That is my personal concern with "Where's Sven

We're just unsure. The Silkweed is actually a modified name. We were going to be called The Weeds. But there were to many drug associations with the Weeds and the was a band in the 60's (although they weren't very big) named the Weeds. So when we went with the Silkweeds, we thought it would take care of the problem, but being so close to those two names all the time, we feel that we needed outside opinions. I do like Silverleaf and Silvergirl, but again, we want to know what you guys think.

Who was that country singer you talked to when we worked at Directv?

Crève Coeur.

Well, like I said, Creve Coeur sounds good, so I did a search on it, and apparently it's a city/town in both states

I can't help it...When I read your band's profile, I somehow automatically thought of a cover band from the 80's called Crystal Ship (the Dead Milkmen mention them in a song and call them Crystal Sh**). I just think that THAT's a good name for you, but it's taken.
Okay, so as for your options. I think that your default isn't bad (Silkweeds), and the Sven one is catchy and the Sandiskies is okay if it's pronounced san-DIS-kees, rather than like "Sandy Skies.

Great! Looking forward to it!

Really? How interesting - it's French for "heart break"...
What a strange name for a town.

I thought it was French, but had no clue. Now I'm definitely nominating it as my first choice now

The survey was - http://surveycentral.org/survey/13670.html
rhino3 suggested Dee'O'Gee and I really liked so that's what I called him.
It gets shortened to Dee'O.

7.4

I like the one CarolL came up with "Silken".

Best 2 are:

SilverGirl
The Novembers

Other names I suggest:

Circle nine
Heavy Glees
Mood

Where's Sven is definitely the catchiest.

Creve Coeur
Where's Sven
The Novembers

I know what it's like. I've been there. Trying to come up with a name that doesn't sound remotely like some other name is virtually impossible. I just picked ones that I thought sounded good and were evocotive...

I like Silverleaf and Since. but you all know what you want. I am surprised though, didn't know you are a musician. What do you play? I can't play any instrument or even sing. I sing anyway, though. yeah it would be good to stay away from the names that would associate your band with marijuana.

Alan Jackson called me

FYI I messed up one of the names, I meant to say the Sanduskies. (which is a place in ohio) We are from Missouri.

Yes, Creve Coeur means broken heart or affliction in french. It is also a near by neighborhood from us in Missouri.

I play guitar and bass, some drums. I did some solo stuff too, but I don't sing well. In this band I play bass and keep my mouth shut

You gave me an idea, my favorite song from Crosby Stills Nash and Young is a song called Wooden Ships.

They talked to Alan Jackson when we worked at Directv

How about just plain, "Weeds" ?

Yaw........so..........what's your idea?
I'm glad I could help!!

From the suggestions I like 'Silverleaf' the most. I am not really fan of band names that go 'The' some word which is in plural. I have very few bands on my play list that have such name. The exception is The Smiths, but I avoided them for a very long time because I don't like how the concept of their name sounds.
I always wanted to name my band (which will never happen, I'm sure) 'Nietzsche Is Not a Nihilist'. You can shorten it into NINN.

Crystal ships I like very much, but like you said it's taken, my idea was to pitch the name wooden ships to the band this Saturday.

I'll mention Silken to the band this Saturday and see what they think. Thanks

What about Silvern for a name? Not that we are obsessed with the word silver. In fact there is no reason why we picked silver except for getting Silvergirl from a line out of Bridge over Troubled water from Simon and Garfunkel.

Crystal Ship (singular) was taken.
But Crystal Ships (plural), well, now, that's a horse of a different color!
In any case....let us know what happens.

Was he "rocking their jukebox"?

my favorite is Where's Sven..... it's eccentric, ergo a good band name

i also like 'Potato' or 'The Lampshades'.... they sound like bands i would listen to.

Still I am jealous I love music but am not musically inclined. It is sad when you consider how much I listen to all kinds of music. Music makes the a more beautiful place. Don't you think.

I think that the "r" in there complicates a relatively simple word for no reason.

Music soothes the savage beast

I think his satellite was not working

Where's Sven. I have a friend named Sven who has a drinking problem and he disappears alot and misses work. People ask me at least 5 times a week, "Where's Sven?"

Oh, I see.

No, it was fine.. he was ordering a pay per view movie on his tour bus.. since it didn't have a landline, the order had to be called in rather than ordered up by remote.

Voilà!

I'd rather go for provocative!

6. Smell My Snatch

Awesome! That's funny!

Do you remember what movie he ordered?

Just wanted to add that Silken reminds me of tofu--it's all I can think when I hear that name.

Not my first choice....

crystal ship...LMAO
from the song dogin camaro by the dead milkmen..too too funny you mentioned this, good memories for me!

They definitely make me smile. They're from where I grew up (Phila. area).

If you haven't heard, I've bad news. The bassist (Dave Blood) died a few weeks ago. You should check out the webpage for details .... http://www.deadmilkmen.com/index.html

My husband and I were talking one morning about what we would do if we won the lottery....I told him the first thing I would buy with our new money is to buy a big boat to sail around the world for a couple of years on....Right there on the spot - I named my boat and if you are a good band that you think will really make it - you can use her name too....
It's Faith's Fruition.
I still believe that one day my ship will come in.....

It's funny unless he is hungover and irritable.

I assume you were replying to me? No, I don't remember the movie.

no...i haven't heard, thanks for this link for me...i'll have to pass this news along to a friend of mine, she loved em too

The Novembers

Since Leaf
November Girl
Silver Silk
Since Where's
Sven's Weed

Sven's Weed!! It's brilliant

It's good crap, man!

I like Since and Silverleaf - but that's because it reminds me of Silverchair, one of my favourite bands.

im not really one to name a band ive never heard, but im a big music freak, i think you should count silvergirl and silverleaf out though, sounds a lot like silverchair, but that could be good. I love checking out new bands, do you have a website with some of your tunes on it?

Absolutely fantastic! For some reason I think it would be like New Age Celtic music or something. All of the MEMBERS look like Michael Flatley in my vision.

sven is the man!!

They all sound pretty good. You could also consider calling yourselves Aurora Borealis, Borealis, or Northern Lights. I just suggested them because it sounds like your band is fairly versitile and what is more ever changing and magical than the Aurora Borealis? Besides, they are pretty cool names.

I think you should name the band: "The Hairballs"

No website yet, we do own Thesilkweeds.com, but since we're unsure of the name, we have waited to put out a website. But when we do I hope you all check it out

i will defiantly check it out lemme know when you get it up and running, and good luck with your name

Since is a great name. Although most people would probably hear "sense" but I love it. That's an awesome name. Silkweeds and Sandiskies are no's.

I dont like any these really suck....

These are all really cool names, I think I like Where's Sven the best, because it's very random and unusual, which is what a band name should be like. In my opinion at least

Uh oh, www.silverleafband.com silverleaf is taken, but not trademarked I believe. So we could still use it, but I don't like taking any name from anyone. Please keep the names comming.
