naming

I've always been fascinated by band names. Some that come to mind, The Beatles (was that after insects or cars), the Rolling Stones, Kiss, Van Halen, Madonna, Elvis, Michael, U2, Iron Skillet.

Some interesting names:

  • Echo and the bunnymen
  • Super furry animals ( a group of hairy Welshmen)
  • Modest Mouse
  • Startled Insects.

Or how about the grammatically correct sentence names:

  • Betty's not a vitamin (after Flintstone vitamins which had all the characters except Betty)
  • Dogs Die in Hot Cars

Or:

  • I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness
  • Motorhead
  • Japancakes
  • The Dictatortots
  • Teeth and the Electric Mayhem (from the Muppets)

Names say something about us. Naming has authority. God names us: beloved, sons, daughters, forgiven, heirs with Christ, the righteous, pieces of art.
