Names -> Cool Band Names -> G, Page 2
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.

| Given the Statement | I just thought that a lot of logic problems begin with "given the statement". So you would expect something to really think about after hearing that... or something. | Dro | ||
