Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme by The Artsy Reader. This week’s topic is Titles that would make good band names – which is something I had never really thought about. After digging into my Goodreads Read list, I realized there were some really good band names, and if I ever start a band I’m definitely picking one of these.
- Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie – sounds like a good indie band name that you’d watch in a pub
- The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park – this is eerily close to the title of a song I love: The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls
- Supernova by Marissa Meyer – this is so perfect that it’s probably already the name of a great 80s synth band
- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo – a punk band waiting to happen
- The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren – this has a vibe of a mix of The Proclaimers and The Lumineers
- The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang – a nerdy KISS cover band
- Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain – a band of all chefs with a lot of feelings
- Pumpkin Heads by Rainbow Rowell – a seasonal cover band for sure
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer – a straight up screamo band
- Wildcard by Marie Lu – a EDM band that plays underground shows only

Resistance Women, The Girls with No Names, and The Girls of Paper and Fire would be a great girl band names.
Where the Crawdads Sing could be a country band.
I love this list! 💜
Thank you ❤️
I totally agree with you on most of these titles -I’d totally listen to a band named Supernova. I’ll make sure to name a fictional band like that if I ever wrote a book that includes one haha
I’ve seen Six of Crows on several lists today and think it would totally work. Fun. My TTT list
Annihilation, yeah super duper ear plugs for sure. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/04/ttt-042120.html
I didn’t pick them, but I think The Kiss Quotient and Wildcard would make good band names. Although they evoke different genres in my mind than in yours.
Ooh I definitely agree with Six of Crows, Wildcard, and Supernova! Pumpkin Heads would also be so fun, lol.

I also have Six of Crows on my list! And I can definitely see Supernova as a band name! I love how you went for Murder On The Orient Express, I never even thought of it, but you’re right it would be a great name for an indie group!

Six of Crows would make a great band name!
My TTT.
Six of Crows and Pumpkin Head sound good! I’d put them as indie/alt rock bands. 🙂

Six of Crows and Supernova are great band names! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Great list! Six of Crows and The Kiss Quotient would make great band names. And you’re probably right that some group has already used Supernova, because it’s too good to pass up. I indicated the type of band in my post, too.
The Kiss Quotient and Murder on the Orient Express would be amazing band names!
