Hi.
We are a mixed bunch of dutch english and danish members
We used to be called 
Touch me I'm Dick (http://www.touchmeimdick.com/)
but have decided our name is too controversial for some gigs and in
any case does not represent what we stand for.
We play The Specials, Bad Manners, Madness (but in diminishing amount)
Suggestions so far:
Ska Fun Addicts (pronounce it fast) 
Utter Nutters (too madness like for the rest of the band and it sounds
stupid in dutch - eytter neytters)
But I want more suggestions.
Rules: 
1. Word plays are preferred
2. Nothing rude (but the word Rude is acceptable since it refers to
the 1980 two-tone people / jamaican ska boys)
3. You may incorporate a design/font but the name is more important

If you need more info, ask away

Thanks

Michel

I think "Ska-Daddies" and "Skadaddle" are fun names. 

And then there's the rather obvious "Ska-Face."

How about "Ska Ter Brain" (a pun on "scatterbrain")?

"Skalawag" is a cute name.

The name should preferably not be googlable 
Skalwag give quite a number of hits.

Ska Ter Brein 
is not bad, spelled in Dutch it is "Ska from the brain"

From the band meeting:

The name shouldn't start with SKA
Not related to any kind of Political , racism or porn
Keep in mind who we are, what we play, we want to look sharp, and our 
excisting name(we do not want similar kind of name)

I'll just offer these name suggestions, just let me know if you like them:

Jus-Ska-Die
Horny Dudes (ska horns)
Horny Boys
Scant Reason (Skant Reason?)
The Hornblowers (too generic)
Hair They Come (referring to Jamaican hair)
Horn They Come (ska horns)
We're Horny
Wind-up Boys (Wind for Wind instruments... too far, isn't it?)

Horny is out. Also not that many horns...

We are playing SKA not reggae so the hair is short :)
