i had a band once that always used a different name when we played cover gigs. I got caught once when the manager of a club in Underground Atlanta asked me the name of the band and damned if I could remember.

So out of nowhere I told him, "AfterBirth...it's a Budhist thing..." He looked at me like I was an idiot (gee? why?) and said, "Whatever..."

We got the gig though.

The Butthole Surfers used a different name at every gig, when they first started, although they did have a song of that title.
Early aliases included the Dick Clark Five, Nine foot Worm Makes Own Food, the Vodka Family Winstons, Ashtray Babyheads, Ed Asner Is Gay, Fred Astaire's Asshole, The Right To Eat, The Inalienable Right To Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole, and many others.
An announcer forgot what the band was called and used the song title for the group's name.
It was the first gig they'd gotten paid for.
So, they kept the name.

Maybe we could do like the Butthole Surfers then.
We could play under a different name at every gig until someone pays us.

A few dumb names I've kicked around before:
Anal Satan
Vomit Launch
Humanimal
F uck You F ucking F ucker
NegativeM+
Hot Man P ussy
Zed Is Dead
Brainwash
Ellis Dee
Mindfuck

But, it is very important.

I don't want anything pluralized, with a "THE" in front of it, like THE RAMONES, THE VENTURES, or THE SPECIALS.

I'd like to name us something easy to remember, just three or four syllables, like NIRVANA or METALLICA.
But, I want something odd and unusual, like PRINCESS DRAGON-MOM, STEEL POLE BATH TUB or BUTTHOLE SURFERS.
I'd wanted to name us something like GHIDORAH or CHIMERA.
But, those, it turned out, were already taken.

Got any good ideas?

A lot of people think its " The Grateful Dead " but really their name is " Grateful Dead "
just sayin'

I would be more concerned with why you can't find anyone other than your girlfriend to play with.

We've played together on-and-off since the late 90's.
We met when she joined our band with the Impaler.

Simply the kinds of music I'm into doing eliminates a lot of possible other candidates.
There have been various reasons why some people didn't work out.
Lack of rehearsal space has been the biggest problem for us.

After many disappointments we decided to go ahead as a duo, and if we can find others to jam with along the way then that's cool.
