How to choose a band name
- Say it out loud. Imagine a sound engineer or a radio host announcing it. If people mishear it or ask you to spell it, keep looking.
- Search before you fall in love. Use the Google and Spotify buttons on each name. If another active act already uses it, you will be fighting them in every search result.
- Check the handles. See whether the name is free on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and as a web domain. Small variations (adding “band” or “music”) are fine.
- Think about the logo. Short names look better on posters, merch and a bass drum. Very long names get shortened by fans anyway.
- Look at trademarks. For a serious project, check your country's trademark register and the EU or US databases before printing merch.
