ChiCarCo

Chicarco is the name of a car dealership on the Chichester by-pass, West Sussex. (Chichester Car Company.)

I know its a really contrived name for the company, but I quite like contrived names. Whenever I see bizarre names in SF books I automatically, almost subconsciously, do a mental check to see if its something more normal speleld backwards. This probably dates all the way back to seeing the film Dracula AD 1972 as a child. There was a main character called Johnny Alucard. Fairly late in the film someone realises that it is Dracula backwards.

Anyway, a great name for a band is what I thought when we passed the establishment today.

I am pretty certain that a band using the name would actually style themselves ChiCarCo (and fans would shorten it to CCC) although they would still get confused with Chicago the city, the musical and the band who did "If You Leave Me Now". Bands who play with their name, incorporating unusual punctuation or capitalisation are often, though not always, dance-related. I think ChiCarCo would be dance-related. Not like Chemical Brothers or Orbital, but more like D:ream, and they would be a real band - not a studio-based DJ with a session singer to add vocals to his (and its always a bloke!) music.
