I'll sling a few at you;
Probable Cause (although I'd imagine this one is more punk rocky than Mogwai)
Coriolis Effect
Red Road Runners (probably more country...)
In of touch
Grey glass (I feel this is the most Mogwai, and the one before it)

But seriously, if you can't even think of a band name you're probably not creative enough to be in a band.

Try this website, i got some interesting names http://www.bandnamemaker.com/ "

we tried a similar method with a band i was in when i was younger, we essentially drew names from a hat and ended up with 'playground logic' which i thought made some degree of sense and also sounded kind of cool.

@dutch42:  What kind of band? My screen name is my idea of a name for a metal band, but I don't play music or have anything else to do with it. Also, I don't listen to metal.

@dutch42: Gotta be careful man, imagine you become ultra famous and it is shown that you took that band name from someone. These Americans will sue you so quick it'll feel like getting your sack waxed

The key thing when coming up with a band name is to imagine you make it big and are performing at some huge festival or something. Now imagine an announcer saying "Please welcome to the stage *insert band name*". The problem with a lot of smaller bands names is that they would sound horrible on a platform like that, and pretty much all the names suggested in this thread would sound crappy on a big stage like that too. When you find a name that you (and other people) can totally hear being said by an announcer at a big name event, you've got your band name.

depends i guess, a lot of bands these days have really shitty names that wouldn't sound good no matter who is saying it. even the band the op mentioned his sounds like, is the goddamn little furry thing from gremlins.

Cheaper Than Opium, Blood Moon, and Parallax are esoteric names for a band that come to my mind.

They would have to be pretty fucking good if they would want to carry the Mogwai name.

Frames or No Frames-everyone who's been around the internet in the mid to late 90s gets the reference.
