Hi. My name is Dave and I live in Pittsburgh. I've got a "Pianocentric Rock" band (think Ben Folds Five) that doesn't have a name, and I could use your help.

My fellow bandmates and I came up with the following suggestions, and I would appreciate your help in narrowing it down to one. While I welcome your feedback, I would request that you do not submit any new considerations. Please choose from the following only:

86 Swade
Callbox
Homecooked Meal
Homemade Blanket
Hot Coffee
Incandescent
Mislehenyous
Number Two
Pound Sign

Thanks again for your help!

How about Keane? Oh wait, that's already taken. ;)

Hmmm.... I don't like any of the names. Incandescent sounds okay. Number 2 sounds okay as well, but if it doesn't mean anything, then it'll sound like you guys were trying to make up a cool name that didn't mean anything personal to any of you. A name like Number 2 should require a reason for such a name, I think.

"Homecooked/Homemade/Homefried/Home____" isn't a good name. By "Pound Sign", do you mean £, or do you want it spelt out as "P-o-u-n-d S-i-g-n"?? Anyway, its a bad name.

Callbox isn't bad, but its not good, either.

Incandescent sounds best, I think. :)

I like Pound Sign.
He's from Pittsburgh so I think he means # as opposed to £. The # symbol is pronounced pound as in "Press the pound key on your phone." ;)
I also like 86 Swade.
