March 9, 2013

A friend's recent Facebook post converts nicely into a band name I want to see: Popeless & Sequestered. Not that there's any shortage of good names this week!

All You All
I have long been amused by the way the apparent plural "y'all" is often used as a singular and requires an additional "all" to make it plural and inclusive. This appears to be a Northern variant, subsituting gracefully for the more common "you guys." Thanks, guys.

Assembly of Dust
This almost sounds like a church. As Pastor Rich reminds us, we come from dust; but it's holy dust. Amen.

The Bog Hoppers
 "Bog" sounds like what it is: sticky and muddy and damp. "Hopper" echoes the short-o sound but adds lively action.

The Dread Crew of Oddwood
I love the old-fashioned usage of "dread" as an adjective for crew. It pairs well with the fantasy placename, Oddwood, and all those repeated ds create a thumping alliteration.

I Will Keep Your Ghost
. . . in a box under the bed? I'm always on the lookout for complete-sentence names, especially those that go to a strange or spooky place.
