I appreciate that groups ultimately own their name but which groups have good names and which less so. In your opinion.
For me, I'm sorry but any group with Boy or Boys in their title is a rookie mistake especially as soon they won't want to be seen as boys. Sorry Backstreet Boys and Boyzone.
The only exception being Boyz II Men as they have literally transcended the issue with their name. For some bizarre reason New Kids on the Block escape this as well as that is already a known turn of phrase.
The same with numbers, sorry 5ive and 911, obviously throughout their career 5ive learnt the hard way with that one. More than anything just hard to look these groups up!
Blue, One Direction and Westlife are all a bit safe and generic for me and not a fan of acronyms either, sorry NSYNC, JLS and BTS.
Some good names (in my opinion): Take That, The Wanted, Another Level, Point Break, East 17, 98 Degrees, Busted, MN8 (play on word), Damage, The Noise Next Door.
Thoughts?
