i like the annex of eden, but mostly because it sounds belligerent towards god.

a friend of mine was in military school and wanted to start a death metal band.
Luckily his roommate was a guitarist and he loved metal as well
The formed the band, Violent Anal Discharge.
I like Anex of Eden though.

Annex of Eden....
I like it.... 
I usually like the one word bad names, but have never really been in a band with a one word name.... 
Seriously tho~, I judge bands on whether I like the music or not.... Some bands with really stupid band names have really cool music....  People "get used to" the name if this is the case....

very true. but still, the name is important to us, we don't want to get 10 years down the road and wish we hadn't settled on something we didn't like.
some other opinions were needed for this, and it looks like Annex of Eden wins out!
thanks all!

After reading the names you are considering, I have come to the conclusion your band name should be "Cock Suckers"

Anyway, I don't think Annex of Eden sounds pretentious, I think the name sounds Prog / Post Rock and fits well with your sound and style, Syle.

thanks middleman, and it's okay. that comment didn't bother me. in this business you have to have a thick skin or you won't get anywhere so...no biggie. and even if it does sound pretentious, i don't think it would matter when the music was heard, because the passion is there, and that's what matters to us.

Naming a band is a really hard thing to do. In my opinion, all of these names aren't very bad, but aren'y very good either. I just think you are trying too hard or thinking too much, maybe. I don't know. You should ultimately just go with whatever name you can stand behind with conviction. That is the most important thing about self-presentation. Beyond that, the name doesn't matter very much.
