What kind of a list is that? You don't have a single Present Participle Modifying a Proper Pronoun (i.e., Pleasing Melani, Waking Abbot, Boxing Helena, Stinking Up The Place).

You're also severly deficient in "The"s + Something Stupid (The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The 5-6-7-8s, The Assclowns). One doesn't cut it.

Finally, not even ONE Standard Noun Followed By a Seemingly Random Number? No Blink 182, no Matchbox 20, no Sum 41, no Really Bad Song #79?

And you call yourself a band namer. Harrrumph.

(My fave is also the variation "Ducks Eat Free.")

Heh. I did another freewriting session a day or two ago and got a list almost two times the size of this one. Heh.
