How it works

Is your band still looking for a name before its first gig or first release? This tool draws from word banks with different connotations depending on the chosen genre (raw, mineral words for rock, bright, synthetic words for electro, dark, intense words for metal...) and combines them using several structures typical of English and French band names.

Does the music genre really affect the result?

Yes, each genre has its own word bank chosen to evoke its mood: the words offered for jazz (velvet, brass, nocturnal) deliberately differ from those offered for metal (crater, glaive, ossuary), so the generated name sounds right for your style.

Should I check that the name isn't already taken?

Yes, before officially adopting it, search for the name on streaming platforms, social networks, and music databases to make sure no other active band already uses it, especially if it's a combination of common words.
