Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a band name is taken?

Search it on Spotify, YouTube, Bandcamp and social networks, plus a domain check. Also try the trademark database of your country if you plan to release music commercially.

How can I make a generated name more original?

Treat it as a starting point: change a word, combine two ideas or alter the spelling. Say it out loud and make sure it is easy to remember.
