We decided to re-name the band rather than staying with the originals 'Snow Patrol'. The reasoning for this was so that viewers who have watched and listen to the original band will not have a fixed expectation as they see the band's name, and instead will have an unbiased opinion of the finished production.
Names -
1) Hole in the wall
2) The Clergymen
3) The untamed
4) The Pigmy's
5) Requiem
6) Sphinx
7) The Wookies
8) Ignite
All the above were chosen largely based on there abstract nature which follows a theme used by many indie/rock bands. For example the indie band The Wombats is a good example of the application of this abstract naming process.
The names highlighted in red are considerations we have narrowed down out of the 8.
FINAL DECISION
We finally decided on the name IGNITE. The reasoning behind this is that it contrasts heavily against the mood the band emits to its audiences. The word ignite means to set alight, and is closely linked to the idea of fire, which of course is bright and warm. Fire is often used as a symbol for energy, happiness, passion and hope. This is why we decided on the name as it brings out much of the implied meaning in the bands songs and highlights sometimes hard to see messages through the grey, dark imagery used. Also the word Ignite, flows well when said and has a rounded sound, making it appealing to consumers. Not only this, but the short, polysyllabic word is easy to remember making it easy to be accessed.
