Personally I've always liked the name" Bloody Qtip" for a band. Nothing good ever came from one of those.

If we were going for shock value, Bloody QTip would win hands down.

Actually, if you're playing nursing homes, "Puddle of Urine" would be appropriate.

As for f-holes, even as a fiddler for many years, that's not where my mind went when reading the op. I think the others are right in that the reference will be missed by most.

You could use something else related to the instruments, like pegs and reeds, or some such.

Damn, somebody beat us to it. Thanks for the info.

OK, let's try lovethyself's suggestion: the majority of our instruments have pegs, so let's try something with pegs. Hopefully not too many people will know the slang term 'peg'. Anyone want to take a shot?

I rather like "Strings And Things", but that's bound to have been used already.

Due to one of our band mates having less availability, 3 of us are forming another group to keep up with gig demands. Our genre is acoustic-eclectic traditional/world/original music. A name suggested was "XYZ (member name) and the F Holes" (trademark/logo: violin/viola/cello/bass F hole.) Those who know our sense of humor think it's hilarious, but since we perform for all types of situations including senior, skilled nursing and developmentally disabled residences we wonder if it might hurt our chances for conservative-setting gigs.

I run such gigs and I hire such bands. There is no way I'd even consider hiring your band with that name.

A band name should be something easy to remember and anything with "f-holes" in would certainly get the attention. But, truly, it sounds like a cover band for Tom Waites or Oscar Brand.

You have reminded me of the early days of Electric Light Orchestra.... anyone else remember them performing rock and roll on traditional stringed instruments while dressed in superhero costumes?
