I've been making music solo and with a band under the name Dharma For One for like 6 years. It's become attached to me, and we've got Merch, websites etc all under that name.
Trouble is, it sucks.
I want to drop the For One and keep Dharma. I think it'll be easier to tell people our name without it being too long, and I won't lose the small amount of brand recognition that I already have. I'm also terrible at making and names that don't sound super shitty like DetRIOT or other Detroit related cringeclusters.
What do you guys think?

Re: My band name sucks
HAHAHA
I'm sorry, it really sucks.
Dharma sounds okay. I suck at making names for bands too, so I decided to just take names from other things for my bands:
Morningrise (Slowdive song), Walle (well, the robot), Langerhaus (a famous Mexican prison), etcétera...

Re: My band name sucks
Yeah I was 18 and huge in to Jethro Tull so I ripped the name off of that song. I was really into prog, jazz fusion, and other generally pretentious shit back then (and still am) and lacked the creativity to change the name.

Yes. One made in a certain subcontinental sweatshop labouring under a caste system and a certain polytheistic faith...gnomethrone wrote:dharmani

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
