Research into Similar Products: Band Names

To help me decide on a name for my cover star, I googled “Alternative Band Names”, this provided me with a link to a Wikipedia page that listed the names. From looking at the extensive list of names, I noticed the word “the” was a popular one – showing up on about 250 occasions, because of this, “T” was the most popular letter.

Some names that stood out to me on this list included:

• ·        Faith No More
• ·        Enter Shikari
• ·        I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness
• ·        Ima Robot

For more inspiration I visited “www.bandnamemaker.com” – a useful tool for creating rock, punk and other music genre names. Here’s some I found without using key words:

• ·        Upon Humor
• ·        Church Enterprise
• ·        Unplugged Falcon
• ·        Enter Abyss
• ·        Void Society

I like the name “Enter Shikari” as it sounds strange and unknown, which gives it a sense of mystery. “Shikari” means “a hunter” which may connote to being hunted. The words “Enter” and “void” stood out to me on bandnamemaker.com and so I will use them to create the name of my cover star. To make the name more realistic, I will add “The” between both the words to sound like an edgy alternative rock band,

“Enter the Void”
