So I'm getting my first music project in like 5 years off the ground....
And coming up with a band name is like the worst thing ever.
-
I'm thinking a guy who calls himself "Chaz" should at least be consistent and go with something really yuppie/yacht-rockish sounding.
How about "Devendra's Dong"?
-
It's interesting you say that because we are actually really into Yacht-Rock.
Maybe I should just use my man crush, Rhett Miller, as my screen name.

Just stay away from The Black Hole To Hell Where My Lover Has Gone because it is CLAIMED

For a small fee I'm willing to license Quickie 'n the Bushes, but you have to have at least one chick in your band.

sorry, this band is a sausage fest, though we may eventually snag female to play organ/keys. If so, what is your licensing fee?
-
Casual mention in the liner notes, name on the guest list with back stage passes on the rare occasion that I can make your show, non-binding input into the bands first single, and negotiating role in which TV shows the bands songs appear in (which may require me to visit the set to make sure the song is being used appropriately in the scene).
Come to think of it, even if you don't go with Quickie, you may just wnat to agree to most of that anyway.

The Lone Rangers.
Duh.

I didn't really start this thread to solicit suggestions...but the lone rangers is a real strong front runner!
just kidding.
at least 3 times a week me and my mates will go back and forth via email for a few hours throwing band names around. we've had so many bad ideas and few good ones. and the good ones start to sound like bad ones real fast.
naming my kids was much easier.

Actually if we had a house band that encapsulated what Julian's America is all about, it'd probably be Vampire Weekend.

I'm going to need some time with this.

sausage fest has a good ring to it

Thus, unoriginal style and minimal substance?

You forgot "...with fashionable scarves and sweaters."

Names we're considering so far:
Clubs and Bells
Rx
The Prescriptions (though i'm sure this has been used)
The Downy Sins (or Downy Sins)
The Sevens
personally, i like about 1/2 this list.
-
So you like 2.5 of them? Is it "Clubs" or "Bells" that is bothering you?

I still say Lauren Conrad Hairtwirl or Stepping On The Crotch Of Your American President would be awesome names.
-
At this particular moment....you. :D
OK, make that 40%.
Actually I hate all band names right now.

I've never even heard of those guys...
This name was pretty much out of the running anyway, it' also the name of some Boston based celtic band.
So much for my tribute to arthur lee...
-
You could go with "Arsonist" or "Girlfriend Beater".

Or I could always go with "The Porky Midgets".
Or maybe "The Breastfeeding Six Year Olds"
Those are both sounding really nice...

Nice!
I really like the first one, I wish I had thought of it.
The second one, well that's probably a couple of years beyond what is average for the world.
http://parenting.families.com/blog/breastfeeding-how-long-is-too-long (http://parenting.families.com/blog/breastfeeding-how-long-is-too-long)
You've probably laughed at the humorous jabs in movies and sitcoms aimed at the idea of breastfeeding "older" children. But if you are enjoying a breastfeeding relationship with your infant, at some point you will start to consider whether or when you should wean your child.
You might be surprised to learn that the worldwide average length of breastfeeding each child is about 4 years. This is because many societies encourage children to continue breastfeeding until they wean themselves. For many nations, this is an economical and nutritional lifesaver for the family as water is often polluted, formula is way beyond what a family can afford and refrigeration is scarce. But what about in more industrialized societies?
In the last century, a trend existed that equated wealth with baby formula - or more aptly - poverty with breastfeeding. Because of this trend, parents used to aspire to formula-feed their babies for higher social stature. In the last few decades, however, scientists have learned that breast milk is far superior to anything man can make to imitate it and that, besides its nutritional benefits, the act of breastfeeding itself provides benefits to the child and health benefits to the mother. Now, it seems, the pendulum has swung back in favor of Mother Nature! Breast is best. Lower percentages of breastfed infants are now considered to be a national and global problem in urgent need of resolution! But is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all babies be breastfed exclusively - that is without pacifiers, formula, solid foods or other liquids - for the first six months of life and that, after solid food is introduced, breastfeeding should continue for a minimum of the first 12 months of life and, thereafter as long as is mutually beneficial to Mother and Child. They also suggest that "there is no upper limit to the duration of breastfeeding and no evidence of psychological or developmental harm from breastfeeding into the third year of life or longer" (AAP 2005).
The American Academy of Family Physicians issued a position statement on breastfeeding which recommends: "Breastfeeding beyond the first year offers considerable benefits to both mother and child, and should continue as long as mutually desired." They also note that "If the child is younger than two years of age, the child is at increased risk of illness if weaned." (AAFP 2001)
The World Health Organization also recommends "exclusive breastfeeding for six months as a global public health recommendation, taking into account the findings of the WHO expert consultation on optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding, and to provide safe and appropriate complementary foods, with continued breastfeeding for up to two years of age or beyond, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life with continued breastfeeding for at least 2 years" (WHO 2002)
2004 Health Canada Recommendation on Exclusive Breastfeeding Duration says "Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of life for healthy term infants, as breast milk is the best food for optimal growth. Infants should be introduced to nutrient-rich, solid foods with particular attention to iron at six months with continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond."
These are just some of the well respected leaders in the area of health and wellness who all agree that breastfeeding for as long as both Mother and Baby find beneficial is exactly the right amount of time.
The answer, then, is no. There is no such thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to the healthy extended breastfeeding relationship between Mother and Child.

Just the link would have been fine, thanks.
And didn't you post that manifesto in another thread already?
If everyone just gave birth to their kids underwater in birthing tubs we wouldn't have these sorts of problems.
-
I don't think I posted that one. That's actually the first time I've read about a worldwide average of four years.
I'm not sure of the effectiveness of birthing tubs. However, if everyone with a low risk pregnancy gave birth at home or in birthing centers, the rate of unneccessary c-sections would be drastically reduced.
-
We did birthing tubs and both my kids could swim at 8 weeks.
CASE CLOSED.

I always liked the sound of..
When Vegans Turn Cannibal!
-
Did you decide on a band name?
-
I'll bet they went with When Vegans Turn Cannibal!

Funny not yet..we got together last night and still no name, hopefully the lightning bolt will strike...
We may just call ourselves The Worries, which was the first name we came up with that we all liked, but somehow got swept aside.
-
And the new name of the day is....
The Graves
Been used by some small time bands i found on myspace but they've been inactive for a few years now.
But I think I like The Worries better.
