You could have a Toy Story theme and be called "There's a snake in my boots"

God damn that is a good idea, except it fails when you say "Hi everyone we are there's a snake in my boots". Doesn't really roll of the tongue. Reach for the sky also works, both as a Toy Story thing and an instruction to your fans...although you might be confused with an S Club 7 tribute act.

"I Am Koot" had the same problem. I saw them once and they came on and said "Hi we are I Am Kloot" and about half the audience looked at each other and went "WTF?"

A friend of mine is a massive Dr Who fan and his country band is called "Stetsons are Cool".

Georgie

I was thinking more of a cool name rather than comedy.

If it's covers I always think go for something blindingly obvious. Georgie's Country Rockers. Something that says what you are. Bands of people I know a little who do covers/ tributes that do really well, guess what they play: The Funksters; Skabucks; Soul Survivors; Ultimate Madness; Rats in the Kitchen. For originals then the world's your oyster, for something that conveys Americana I guess you would play around with US sounding words : Cadillac, Stetson, screen door, diner and better examples.

I'm offended!

I think as EricTW says go for something really obvious so that anyone seeing only your name on a bill will know the genre. "The Country Cowboys" is a shit name, but it's perfect for a pub covers band. My band are called "Soul RIot" not because it's the best name in the world, but because it has the word Soul in it.

I'm going to suggest the same thing I always suggest:

Lt. Skytree's Bacon Soliloquy

Get the band together, get a huge sheet of paper (A2 at least), some marker pens and a shitload of booze. Write down words that appeal to you and fit the genre, and spend an hour fixing them together. I guarantee you'll come up with something useable that'll have members saying "why didn't I come up with that?".

JAYJO

If there are 4 of you!

If you were solo you could have Alone Star State
