Band Names

My original band is looking for a name. Got any good ideas? I figure if I post all the rejected names so far and you post some, too, maybe somebody will like some synthesis of the suggestions. So far we've rejected the following names:

Kings of Noone
Taint
Level 27
Poke the Bear
Backwash

Somebody must have a better suggestion...

i actually like Rental Floss. catchy and easy to remember... may be a touch silly, but that's not all bad.

Rental Floss is a kick ass name, especially for a punk band.

I always liked 'Quantum Presbyterians', stolen from some Simpsons episode or you might consider 'The Vast Majority'

Okay. Thanks for the tips. The Dave Barry List allowed us to create some rules on which we selected our name. The other suggestions were also good but somehow the name we picked had to pass the muster with all the guys in the band. Even if the line-up changes, I think I'll keep the name... "5 Left Feet". Look for us opening up for an act near you soon!

Rental Floss -

A couple of us work in equipment rental shops. It's funny how many of the names spawned work better for album or song names than band names. I'm holding few in reserve for future side projects so I'm still interested in everybody's ideas and opinions on names. Keep 'em coming!
