My Band Name For Today

First, I'd like to permanently reject two names:

• Murder Car (an episode of a Commando Cody serial)
• Deathcar on the Freeway (a 70's TV movie)

They are no longer necessary in this post-Death Cab for Cutie world. BTW, when my mom heard the promos for "Deathcar on the Freeway", she declared "they've finally run out of names for things."

I was little enough that the hyperbole (if that's what it was) was lost on me. From that point forward I began a lifelong fascination with neologisms, new words, definitions, names, and cool titles for things. Not so much in an attempt to prove my mother wrong as in a reaffirmation that the human intellect was boundlessly creative and inventive.

This band name list could be considered part of my lifelong interest to discover if it is possible for "them" to run out of names--or any other creative commodity.

So...--yeah, an attempt to prove my mother wrong, I guess.

Now, on to today's band names--today, with derivation!
