A member of my Elders Quorum started a band, and a few weeks ago he used our EQ email list to request the help in voting on a name for the band. We were given a handful of options, and voted according to our preferences. However, during the email conversation, the idea of Scriptural Band names was tossed around, with several excellent examples being suggested by one participant (e.g., “The Reformed Egyptians,” or “King Men Revisited”). Why is this important now? Well, this past weekend it became apparent that we had never heard back from him about the results of the poll or what the new band’s name would be. When I asked him on Sunday, he said that it was still undecided because the band members didn’t really like the results of the poll. Always seeking a way to serve my fellow man, I determined to put this issue to bed by enlisting the denizens of BCC who would surely come up with a band name that would be worthy throughout time and all eternity.
Now, before you offer up your suggestion for Best Scriptural Band Name, there are a couple of ground rules, set forth in the original conversation, which must be adhered to.
- Band Names must be based on scripture,
and scripture alone (the words of modern prophets are useless in this thread)or on the words of modern prophets - Band Names cannot reference the “Stripling Warriors” or “Rameumptom” (too obvious)
- Band Names cannot reference the “Iron Rod” or “Sword of Laban” (too phallic)
Also, suggestions containing chapter/verse citations will be awarded bonus points. At the end of the thread, we’ll have a vote. Or maybe a free concert. Or maybe Steve Evans will let you guest post.
By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog 
The Fiery Darts.
No words of modern prophets, seriously? Because I was really excited to start a band called The Tentacles Of Divine Providence.
But I guess if I can’t use that, it’s going to have to be The Power Of The Air (Eph. 2:2) or The Billowing Surge (D&C 122:7)
MRP,
Okay, you convinced me. I’ll amend the post.
I always thought Master Mahan would be an awesome heavy metal band name.
Almost five years ago, Geoff J. asked a similar question. My responses at the time:
Geoff had some excellent retorts:
King Fallout
the lone and dreary – an emo band.
…You will know us when we shake your hand.
In the tradition of …and you will know us by the trail of dead.
Chapter heading of Mosiah 23 mentions “Amulon, leader of King Noah’s wicked priests.”
Amulon (solo artist)
King Noah (Folk Artist)
Wicked Priests (metal)
Amulon and the Wicked Priests (Also metal)
I’ve always wanted to start a hard rock band named “unrighteous dominion”. And I second “Master Mahan”.
Jael’s Nails
http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/judg/4.21?lang=eng#17
Wolfskin Pantaloons (or either of the words by itself)
http://scriptures.byu.edu/jod/jodhtml.php?vol=12&disc=59
What genre is this band? That could help with the name inspiration.
Here’s a good album name: “Sign o’ the Times”
I dunno. “Large and Spacious Building” would seem to fit.
Froward Heart
A good glam rock song title: Ashes to Ashes
The Prick Kickers.
Eight is Not Enough
Standard Work
Turn the Time Over
Quorum Fight
Favorable Circumstances
Grace Work
Sweet and Tender Grace
Gentle Dominion
But, to the point at hand, band names:
Fire and Brimstone
The Mighty Fallen
The First Stonecasters
The Way of All Flesh
Fiery Darts? – That violates the non-phallic rule, dude.
For a chick metal band – “The Witches of Endor”
Also good, in no particular styles of music
“Balaam’s Ass” or “The Talking Ass”
“Mahonri-Moriancumer” (or however that’s supposed to be spelled)
“The Zoramites” has a certain ring to it.
I need to ponder some more.
Cool thread. Band names are fun to conceive of. For instance, my band’s called Jiminy Finn and the Moneydiggers, incidentally. We’re on youtube. and Facebook. sorta.
Oh BHodges. You didn’t.
White Hat and the Peepstones
I got 99 problems and a wife is each one.
Ok, I know that wouldn’t be a band name, I just wanted to toss it out there
Oh no, the phallic references made me laugh out loud. I will never be able to teach my kids the story of Lehi’s dream with a straight face again.
I like “Wicked Priests”.
The Plates isn’t too bad
Ignominious Death would be awesome for a metal band
I’d say Shiz, but that has new connotations that would be awful for a band name.
Amalikiah’s Poison would be cool.
Pligs and Marshalls
Pligs and Guns
The Law and Pligs
The Smoot Plig Affair
Pomeroy’s Lie
Playful frothy edges
http://lds.org/general-conference/1996/04/finding-joy-in-life?lang=eng
The Danites: Bluegrass-y with a fiddlin’ frontman who’s a ringer for Porter Rockwell?
Skool of the Profits: Gangster rap?
The Council of Fifty: Ska band with an oversized brass contingent?
The Seventy (or The Quorum): Neo-funk?
The Ten Plagues: Black metal?
200 Foreskins (1 Samuel 18:27): I’m envisioning something like Limp Bizkit but more extreme and pathetic–an epic failure rapcore group?
The Elect: a capella?
Like Unto a Dish (Ether 6:7): R&B?
Olive Grove: sensitive folksy singer/songwriter stuff?
No mention of respective genre required:
Teeth Gnashers
The Sheep and The Goats
Dispensation
and. . .
Four Horsemen of the ROCKPOCALYPSE!
Ringstraked (Gen 31:8)
Conspiring Men
Times of Famine
Moon Into Blood
Quakers on the Moon
The Illinois Stain(s)
Fainting Ammon
The Armcutters (which sounds kinda suicidal, but oh well)
The Consecrationists
Pres Kimball’s conference talk in 1955 has a section that reads like a list of band names:
“Broken bricks, Pulverized bricks, Piled up bricks, covering bones of humans never found. Rubble, rubble, rubble, Foundations up-ended, Rotting wood, Twisted steel, Destruction, devastation, desolation, Broken fountains, Shattered statues, Creaking shutters, Rusty mail boxes, Rustiness! Ugliness! Jaggedness! Screaming jaggedness! Unmolested squirrels scampering, Tiny birds twittering
Also, this image just occurred to me:
a bearded metal frontman playing a slow and majestic riff to a worshipful crowd as he solemnly intones in his rugged voice: “I am Maher Shalal Hash-baz!”
Outer Darkness.
“Wheat and the Tares”
Baals to the Wall
Bald Head and the She-bears
Gog and the Magogs
Bathsheba and the Sweet Spirits
Second Estate Sale
Jared’s Bro.
I don’t think Master Mahan can be beat, but
Without Guile
Struck Dumb (or Dumbstruck)
Cloven Tongues of Fire
Dreadful Day
Thoughtless Stupor (Alma 60:7)
Child of Hell (Alma 11:23 or Alma 54:11)
Raca (Matthew 5:22)
32 – Luv it, ha ha. Maybe some dark sunglasses and the guitar is a shaped like a purple lightning bolt that spews green death fog.
The Burning Bush (not a girl band)
Dog and Maydog
Empty Stone Box
Withered Fig
Harrod’s Dead Babies (death metal)
The Innkeeper’s Regret (emo)
River of Blood (metal)
Plague Frogs (metal)
Firstborn Death (

The Rebuked Storm
Haun’s Mill Massacre
Judas’ Silver
The Potter’s Field

Burning Instead of Beauty
Angels Unaware
One Third Host
A wheel in the midst of a wheel

Short side track (sorry), but several members of my stake started a motorcycle called “The Iron Rod Riders”. I kid you not.
When the Prophet Speaks, The Rocking Has Begun
The Sister Marsh Creamskimming Experience
Blood Atonement (“do you love your neighbor enough to rock them”)
Layman Knights
Knee Fights
The Secret Combination
The Ashes of Abinadi
Okay, I have nothing…but anything to get a guest post.
Sorry, “motorcycle group”
Voice of Thunder
Plates of Brass (but maybe that’s just what they call cymbal-heavy drum solos)
The Seers
High Council (probably reggae?)
Laban’s Head
Jacobugath Burns
Profession of Nehor
The Hill Manti (Alma 1:15)
Sixteen Stones
Veil
Stoned Prophets
Og King of Bashan (Deut. 3:11)
I also think a great album name would be “Steadying the Ark”
Zelph
Or Ziff
Too bad it’s not a girl band: “Haughty Daughters”
Also, it’s not scriptural, but we’ve always liked the name “Scandalous Pants”.
I vote for “Unrighteous Dominion”, but if they felt it was too rugged a name, they could go with “Righteous Dominion”.
Epic thread. These are great.
I did once play in a band called Rameumptum. And one called Remnant. But most of the suggestions so far blow those away.

And re: 126… where the hell did “the skin of a fart” come from? HilARious.
From the Sugar Beet ca. 2003:
What are we naming our Mormon punk bands?
• Extermination Order
• Outer Darkness
• Past Feeling
• Secret Combination
• No Other Way
• Ripened in Iniquity
• Sons of Perdition
• Murmur
• Lone and Dreary World
• Pride
• Double Pierced
• Cipher in the Snow
• The Less Active
• Laban’s Head
• Stiff-Necked
• Inappropriate
Drive like jehu is undeniably the greatest scripture based band name ever (particularly if you know what the band sounds like – they driveth furiously).
For a ska band: David O. McSkank and the 12 Skapostles.
RE # 126 & #141, “skin of a fart” is one of those earthy phrases Brigham Young was fond of saying from time to time. I’ve seen it in several different quotes attributed to him.
Gomorrah Gonorrhea
or on the other hand…
Maintaining Peace (Alma 46:37)
Song of the Righteous
bloody flux
grievous murrain
emerods
jawbone of an ass
the flesh of asses, the issue of horses
against the wall
children of whoredoms
counsel at their stocks
tables full of vomit
wanton eyes
superfluity of naughtiness
man, i could do this all day…

I’m going to have to get used to this commenting system – the fields are in a different order than I’m used to – which led to mis-typing my moniker on the last comment.
Re: Skin of fart, The one I was thinking of was actually Heber Kimball, but it wouldn’t surprise me that Brigham used it also. The context (I wish I had a cite, for it, but I’m just going off of memory here) is basically talking about the Strangite movement, and saying that their doctrine “wasn’t worth the skin of a fart.”
“[S]trangism was not worth investigating[;] it was not worth the skin of a fart.”—Heber C. Kimball, February 1846. [Willard Richards diary, February 23, 1846, LDS Archives, as cited in Robin Scott Jensen, “Gleaning the Harvest: Strangite Missionary Work, 1846-1850,” BYU–Thesis, 2005, 1 (http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/ETD/image/etd956.pdf)%5D
Is Bedlamites too Disney Channel?
The Tentacles of Divine Providence is by far the best suggestion- but only if the mascot/logo can be Cthulu (even though he is…kind of…the opposite). Win.

Among the Tombs
Unclean Spirit
We are Many
Cast Out
Whited Walls
Mark of the Beast
Enough of the dark side, now these:
The Least of These
Fatted Calf
Prodigal Son
My all time favorite for a women’s trio:
Three Degrees of Glory
Guess I got here too late. Here are a few that I don’t think have been taken yet.
The Sounding Brass
Tinkling Cymbals
The Virtuous Hems
The Anna Phylacteries
The Young Harts
The Joseph Smith Transposition
Disturbed Waters
Daughters of Lot
Deseret Alphabet
Rod of my Mouth
Corn for the Ox
The Weak and the Weakest
We were starting a band of half liberal active members / half ex-members and we came up with some pretty good ones:
Zarahemlites
White and Delightsome 5
Mountain Meadows Massacre
The Salamander Letter
The Elders
Secret Handshakes
Wayfarer
The Peter Pandroids
Porter and the Rockwells
Valiant Exes
Burning in the Bosom
Celestialized
The Murmurers
The Blind Guides
Swallowing Gnats
The 3 Nephites
Secret Combination
Disquieted Soul
First Dove
The Presidency
Three Presidents
Seven Fat Cows
Bubblegum Manna
Jonah and the Wail
Blessed are the Geek
#160 — Porter and the Rockwells is pretty much perfect.
Also, for some kind of gritty industrial-rock band: Area Seventy.
Sustaind
Unleavened Dread
Keys to the Kingdom (Piano troupe, maybe?)
Not just Shiz as previously suggested but “The Shiz” would work because of the Mormon in Joke and what the more worldly interpretation of it would be…
“Your Fellow Man”
“Man/Men of Sorrows”
“Heavy Laden”
“Apostolic”
And what I think is the best of the ones I just came up with
“Trial by Fire”
And again props to Master Mahan as a good metalname
Can anyone find one of the brethren telling the Johnny Lingo story in the Ensign? Because Ugly Mahana would be a great name for a hair band.
If the band doing skaa, then
Horns of Jericho
if otherwise and the band is composed of four, then
The Four Horsemen
especially if the genre is country western.
