Oliver over at <a>ThoughtNot<\/a> is facing a dilemma that all musicians must face in their musical journey; choosing a band name! As far as choosing the name goes, here&#8217;s how that works. You go to a bar with your band mates. Get somewhat drunk (or more), and pass around a napkin to write down potential band names. Said napkin will be crammed with names, front and back; all of which will be really stupid and inane. And, whether it&#8217;s because you&#8217;re drunk or just a musician, you&#8217;ll choose the stupidest and inane-est (?!) name as the band name. And the next morning you&#8217;ll wake up with a nice little hang-over, and you&#8217;ll look at the band name you chose last night, and think &#8220;My God! That is the most stupid and inane band name ever!&#8221;, and wonder if you were really so drunk that this name actually sounded good! But the more you look at the stupid \/ inane name you chose the more you&#8217;ll realise that it&#8217;s a perfect name for the band. It&#8217;s a perfect fit. And then you&#8217;ll repeat the process over and over again for the next two months untill you get tired of trying to decide on a name and you&#8217;ll go with the last one chosen, even though the bass player liked the other one better, but everyone else in the band will ignore him even though he&#8217;s always right because, well, apperently that&#8217;s the way things work in a band. This IS the method nine out of ten musicians use to choose a name for a band. How do I know all this? How have I come to be so wise? Because I live the dream, baby.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;or you could scroll down to the second post below that and steal my orphan band name!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"How%20To%20Choose%20A%20Name%20For%20Your%20Baby.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>A long time ago, when my sister was pregnant, I wanted her to name her soon-to-be-born daughter Bountiful.
