Indie Bands Will Have to Buy Their Names From Now On

No, that's not a joke.

After a beer drinking night with good people I changed my mind about the power of brainstorming.
My friend Batata needed a name for a nameless band which is scheduled to play next month, so after some beers, a brainstorming session about the name of the band just happened spontaneously and boy, that was a trip.
As in the previous post, if you are not South American or have a master's degree level in Brazilian pop culture, this post might be a bit difficult to understand.
Anyway, we brainstormed for some time about the band name, the session was so good that I believe we have finished any possibilities of another name for a Brazilian indie band to come, that's why people gonna have to buy it from us.

So here is the list:

The Buttercups (obviously the first suggestion)
Karo e seus Amidos
Brown Cow
Bateaux Mouch
Atari e seus Cartuchos
PacMan e os River Rides
Edifício London
Didi e sua Mina Encantada
Escort e os Veronas
Apollo e os 13
Apollo e os Veronas
Herbert e seus Ultra-leves
White Denzel
Stevie and the Brailes
Osmar Santos e os Rayovacs
Bino e os Ciladas
Chalenger and the Apollos
Chernobyl e os Reatores
Goiania e os Césios
Césio e os 137
Goiano e os Brilhosos
Candelária e os Moleques

That's all I can remember for now unfortunately. And yes, I am way less cocky now than when I started the post, so I am sure the list is not a definite thing, indie bands can relax and find their own names, but, if you feel like, you are more than welcome suggest names in the comments.
