Drafting & Planning - Band name generator

Here I have researched into band names that I find might be suitable for the band I will have included on my contents page. I decided to use (http://heavystrife.tekcities.com/namegen.html) to find Indie band names used with words that are very popular and come up quite frequently in the Indie pop genre, Of the many that I found I was most interested in these three since they are quite original yet reflect the genre very well since the words used in all three names connote to other bands which are popular within the Indie pop genre (E.G Wolf Alice). 

The generated band name I am most interested in is 'Silver Haze' since no popular indie bands have used either word but there is a certain association to this name which I particularly like such as 'silver' implies the band is a great but isn't the best or most popular, revealing its uniqueness and non-social conformity. Additionally the use of the word 'haze' creates a sense of mystery and vagueness to the band which may imply that the fans of the band don't really even know them which will then intrigue them to find out more about them. 

However, I too also like 'Wolf Islands' as the band name since there is a sense of daring and dominance suggested by it through the use of the word 'Wolf' which indicates how the members of the band are extremely close similar to a 'pack' but then the word 'Islands' contrasts with the previous words since an island implies loneliness and so may therefore reveal that the band is isolated from the outside world and nobody actually knows them, making them even more mysterious and interesting to their fans.
