Band names that dont seem to "fit"?

It is a fitting name for a Christian metal band, but Messiah Prophet is kind of a clunky name. I get the feeling they wanted to call themselves Messiah or Prophet, but found out there were already bands named that.

HOW CAN YOU RUN WHEN YOU’RE HIT?!?!
DON’T BE A HIT AND RUN!!

they were originally "Messiah Prophet Band"

Here, you see Pethead committing his legal obligation to write this every time Messiah Prophet is mentioned

That was a lot but it would be a daunting task to make a similar list from my secular collection

TIL that no Christian bands have names that "fit".

A lot of those don’t seem that weird to me, some are more odd, some are just cringe, and then there’s Hot Pink Turtle

What’s wrong with Tourniquet?

^Tourniquet is an appropriate name for a secular thrash band

Why not for Christian? It’s just a medical device

Slaughter.

I know the band was named after the vocalist (Mark Slaughter). But the name suggests something a lot more heavy or brutal!

Christian Death sounds like they'd be, at the softest, brutal thrash. But they aren't even metal.

The thrash band “Dew Scented”.


Does this sound like a frolic through a meadow (like their name suggests)?
