All Trans band starting and we're looking for a catchy name. MtF and FtM. Mostly cover tunes right now, straight ahead Rock & Roll, Blues/Rock, and some Funk. This band will be playing gigs at Pridefests and gatherings like that. Please be creative and humorous (if you want), but no names that sound too death metal or industrial. The obvious ones I have so far are:
Transamerica
Trans-Am
Empty Closet

I'm presuming you are all happy about your transition...However if this is not the case, just change euphoria/ic to dysphoria/ic.... ::)
Oh how about something short and sweet, easy to remember like..... "Trans"

If I lived in the area, I would find someone that has a pickup truck, a portable generator and do an impromptu Noise show outside the funeral home. That would be a blast.

Buttcheek Doofus
Mystic Sultans of Ben-Wa
Toad The Wet Sprocket (I always called them "Choad The Wet Socket")
Sluggo
Scrot
Smegma
Red River Gumbo
PMS (all cis female)
Homeboys of the Apocalypse

I guess it would be better for an all-FTM band because of the "gent" at the end.

I think that Victoria's Other Secret is too much of a mouthful. Too many syllables. Why not Vicky's Other Secret? People would have to think about it for a moment, but that can be a good thing.
On the other hand, if it's a mixed band, you should probably have a gender neutral name.
I've always found "->-bleeped-<-saurus"--among friends--to be a funny little play on words. But Tranosaurus doesn't strike me as a great band name because many people outside the community will inevitably pronounce it as "->-bleeped-<-saurus." So I wouldn't use it for a band name because it has that slur potential. It can also conjure up images of monstrosity, and we already have too much of that to deal with.
