 Band Name Registration tips and advice at www.vocalist.org.uk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It is difficult enough to think of an name that is short, memorable, suitable for the style of music you perform and reflects your personality, but this is also complicated by the fact that many names have already been registered.
An example of a band having to do this is our friends The Haunting A.D. They first started performing and releasing their own records under the name The Haunting, but later had to change this when another band in Canada was discovered to have prior claim.
Consequently they renamed themselves The Haunting A.D. When you register your band or act name you will receive a unique number that is the code your name is associated with, but it is also advisable to keep all press reviews/newspaper cuttings with dates intact in case of dispute.
