Now if I only had a band to go along with the name...

Oh wait! Well, lookie what happened here…

*October 2017: Well, holy freaking cow! The first name EVER taken from my list has been adopted by Tyler McKinnon and his friend's band. Tyler is the guy who did The #ChalkBus Documentary. During the documentary shoot just for fun, I showed him and his bandmate Daniel Robinson this list. They thought it was hilarious and had been puzzling about what to call their recently formed band and found a few names on this list that they really liked. And they decided on #74: Attention Associates! Folks, this is as close as I've ever gotten to having anything to do with a band, so I'm pretty stoked :-)

"That has to be the finest, most comprehensive, most mind-blowing list of band names ever assembled.  I'd even venture to say that this list could very well become the new standard for baby names.  Forget about a boy named Sue, how about a boy named Eeew!  And what Telephone Lineman wouldn't name their child Pole if given the opportunity whether well-endowed or not?  Then there are the cool girl names - Yeah!, Dijiri, Dub Tee, and my favorite Wispy.  Sweet!"
—Wade Milne
