I love it! Etymology! I'm heavily addicted myself! See Wikipedia on paladin, palatine. I think this doesn't mention that Pfalsgraf is the German version of count palatine. The English rendition of that is palsgrave. The Frankish title "Mayor of the Palace" is connected. Chamberlain of the royal household, basically, but a bit like a vizir. The connection here was Richard Boone's Have Gun - Will Travel character. I guess the role should have been given to Richard Chamberlain. Another one I thought of, Lords of the New Surf, is taken, too. |

How about Resurrection Men? I've run into this as a term for suppliers of corpses to medical students in the old days. A bodysnatcher. Some folks may assume you're Christian fundamentalists. 007 Solution (sort of a weird mixed-metaphorical spy idea) Back to Horror: Baskerville County Pound What do they call the little windows in old coffins? I remember a book on Wallenstein that included a photograph of one of his fellow generals - Tilly, I think - taken through his coffin's window. The years had not been any kinder than the Swedes. |

Resurrecting an old thread Don't forget the cool LA latin naming convention of using "Los" with an English name. (Los Teen Tops, etc.) Los Chumbuckets sounds real cool! And scour Plan 9 for potential names. I'm sure there's something there. Los Criswells, Tor and the Johnsons, Graverobbers from Outer Space, Solarbonite, Los Solarbonites (YEAH!) —Swing! Twang! Shake!

So do surf bands follow the gothabilly conventions of gory names, along with surf, outer space, and Spanish words? How about wordplay like The Surf Aces? (Maybe that's taken). I will think further about this. Combinations of words are your best bet in band names and URLs. |

I think I like "Chuck Norris and the Noriegas" sounds kind of like a norteno surf band... |

I was thinking about similar words and I came up with suffragettes, so thought of The Surfer Jets, which could either be surfboards with jet engines in back (a la Big Daddy Roth) or airplanes that dive into waves. I also thought of stream of consciousness words from surreptitious (sneaky surf sound) into Stripper Tattoos, which morphed into Star Pit. |

Yeah. Commonly occuring pairs tend to yield a zillion hits in Google, so a unique combo or odd spelling is good. Hmmm.. let's see... The Dynosoars The Rimrunners Spiral Jetties Jelly Finger (it just rolls of the tongue so easily, but sounds more like a blues band) The Cosmodrones Reverber Rays —I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing. |
