The Original Band Name List
And now, a brief history of the Swarming Midget Band Name Archive:
You see friends, sometime in early 1995, a lowly college student and his friends were trying
to find a name for their band. For weeks, they racked their brains, coming up with nothing that
they really liked. Out of desperation, they turned to their friends who
lived nearby. Putting a piece of paper outside his door with the simple words "Name my band." hastily scrawled
on it, the lowly college student found his neighbors were more than willing
to offer their advice, and soon several pieces of paper were filled with names.
But alas, a name was never found. Still, this first attempt at the archive has provided
the inspiration to go further in the search for a perfect band name on the Internet,
and so the list has grown. It is to those whom formed this original list that this
page is dedicated.
