Shillelagh Law was all the rage...

So, I'm coming to you folks for inspiration.

I need a new name for an irish band.

I want your suggestions.

Let the games begin?

Gettin' "jig"gy with it :-P

(I'm compensating with a pun for the morbidness of the last one-- though that's a line from God Save Ireland, so it's not randomly morbid)

My friend once told me that the Celts, as a people, came from the East and migrated down along the northern bit of Africa and then up to the Islands, claiming to follow a star, which they called "Ananda." I have no idea if that's true, and it would give your band a kind of Enya-feel, which might be the complete opposite of what you're going for, but if you could find a way to use it, maybe you can work something out. It means "bliss" in Sanskrit.

Or you could go for folk-tales somehow, but that might come off as too floofy. Maybe something like "Sin Eaters" but that's REALLY dark. "Dullahan."

Anyway, I hope everything's going great!

Nate, you are my hero, and may I add:

Clover a Barrell
Irishful Thinking
Ireland, My-erland.

Thank you.

Adrienne, the mere fact of you posting has led to an idea:

"It's MY island!"

(with that punctuation)

Just to be official and all:

P.J. Snackery's Fun-Tyme Shack
H.D. Slippidy's Blackstrap Processor
Blarneypunk
James Joyce's Old-Tyme Orchester

Your genre can be either "Joycean folk-punk" or "Whiskey-soaked sham-rock."
