Yeah, but before you go to Maine or right after come to Philly!!! It was so great to hear even the tiniest bit of your music at SPAH.
And I must apologize I have no band name suggestions. Come up with something plain and then grab a thesaurus :) .

I wish I'd seen this post this morning or last night. I was watching the BBC on PBS this morning and was watching "One Foot in the Grave." The old guy was at this concert or something, there were all these bands there and all their names made him cringe. There were some awesome names in it. The only one of the bands whose name I remember was "Burning Orphanage." Come to think of it "One Foot in the Grave" isn't a bad name.

We did this for fun a while back. It's surprisingly closer to real band names and albums than it aught to be.
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. (if you don't have it, here's an online photo editor: pixlr.com/)

I was in a band once that was followed once by a band called the Bluegrass Holes.
Runswithscissors. You made some band name suggestions. Actually "Running with Scissors" itself is really good.
Dave Barry used to come up with some great band names in his newspaper column and try to get people to name their bands those names and stuff.
I found this list of Dave Barry band names. Each one of these probably represents one column. He used to write something, like "that was some rigormortised rabbit. Hey, that would make a good name for a band, 'Rigormortised Rabbit.'"
I came up with Rigormortised Rabbit. Just now. These are Dave Barry's suggested names:

@Buddha
I talked to Todd a bit at SPAH and I believe he said he had played on Shawn Starski's new/newer CD. Now Shawn would make for an interesting addition to "The Band"!
"Spouting Nephilim" band name. Wonder what brought that to mind for you? Doubt anyone knows what a Nephilim is:
The Nephilim (Hebrew: ?????, Nefil?m) were a race that came to dominate the antediluvian (pre-flood) world, and are referred to in the Bible as the heroes of old, men of renown. They were reportedly the children born to the "Sons of God" by the "daughters of men". It is also most important to note that they are mentioned almost simultaneous to God's statement that He would destroy the earth by flood, and it seems from this association that their effect upon mankind was one of the primary justifications that brought the destruction.
"Nephilim" is rendered fallen, or possibly feller: a tyrant or bully. Several English translations rendered the word "giants", but of late translators seem to prefer leave it untranslated. The "giants" translation may have come from the Greek old testament where "nephilim" was "gegantes" which looks like "giant" but in modern Greek would be "titans". In Greek mythos, the titans were the supernaturally powerful offspring of gods and humans.
It is unclear what the Sons of God were, but they are distinguished from the daughters of men. The most obvious interpretation is that the Nephilim were a hybrid race between two distinct beings. There are at least three schools of thought regarding the Sons of God.
The older view, held nearly unanimously by ancient writers prior to Augustine of Hippo, is that the Nephilim were a hybrid race between certain fallen angels, called the Benei Ha'Elohim("Sons of God") or The Watchers in extra-Biblical traditions, and human women. While there has always been a minority of churchmen who followed this view, it has been promoted recently by popular writers such as Stephen Quayle [1].

I've been sitting on this one a long time.

It is perfect. It works on a ton of levels, including creating an "image" and marketing materials.
That'll be a Buddha harp and public recognition on your website and future liner notes. ;)

"In Greek mythos, the titans were the supernaturally powerful offspring of gods and humans."
No they weren't, do some research!
The nephilim (Hebrew plural) were fallen ones because they didn't survive the flood - they were part of the same stratum of early myth that formed the Homeric poems (and Gilgamesh and the Sanskrit heroic sagas), which are about a race of men (born of gods and mortals) of great stature that (clearly) hadn't survived into the Classical age. Kings always claimed they were descended from gods - it makes them more venerable and formalises their lineage and makes them an integral part of holy writ and myth. Hence Matthew's lineage for Jesus.

What's wrong with using your own name? You've been dishing out stuff in the net for years, you might as well capitalize on it.
If you don't like that, how about TBA?

I don't want to use my own name because guy like Todd and the others need equal billing.
Not saying who else will be in the group yet but this is a group that is started and owned by Todd and I.
Todd is a much more amazing musician than most of you have heard.

Too bad you don't want to use your own name in the title because "Buddha and the Bodhisattvas" seems like a pretty bad-ass band name to me. Especially given the type of world-flavored groovy jazz that I imagine you guys will be throwing down...
How about just "Under the Bodhi Tree"?
That's pretty good too!

Why not call it "Buckweed Buddhas" ?
I also suggest "Flying Backwards".
I don't like "Sprouting Nephilim", because "sprouting" make me think of Brussels sprouts, and there's already a well known goth-wave band called "The Fields of Nephilim".

@Buddha Sprouting Nephilim now makes sense to me. It was originally typed as Spouting Nephilim...like you were going to spit out giants.
Just a reminder to everyone that Todd prefers not to be called Buckweed any longer.
