That'd be a good name for a band
my fertile yet scary brain | 11/20/01 | Xenalyte

Posted on 11/20/2001 8:17:29 AM PST by Xenalyte

Readers of Dave Barry are familiar with this one. When Barry finds a particularly felicitous turn of phrase, he notes that it'd be a good name for a band. (Some examples that come to mind are the Foliage Eaters, the Radioactive Muskrats, Ruth's Hat, the Ozone-Depleting Troglodytes, and one of my favorites, Pinot Noir and His Nuances of Toast.)

So, fellow FReeper Word Mavens and fans of Mr. Language Person, what have you found (both on FR and in your real lives) that would make a good name for a band? (Feel free to include Barry's contributions, if you know any.)

Not sure whether this has already been listed, but for a (mercifully) brief period of time, the band Creed called themselves Naked Toddler.

They weren't getting many gigs (I can't imagine why), and dropped that name in favor of Creed.
