Band Name-David Hutchings

For the task of creating a music video we had to create a name for the band and the album. We decided on 'Doppelgänger' as the name for the album. The band was a more difficult task, as I wanted it to mean something so I compiled several names based on my love of History and mythology.

These are the names;
1. Divine Comedy: Reference to the long narrative poem by Dante Alighieri who travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise or Heaven.
2. Ozymandias: Reference to the Greek name for Pharaoh Ramesses II and the poem by Percy B Shelley.
3. Cannae: Reference to a major battle of the Second Punic War that took place on 2 August 216 BC in Apulia, in southeast Italy. The army of Carthage, under Hannibal, surrounded and decisively defeated a larger army of the Roman Republic.
4. Gaugamela: Reference to the decisive battle of Alexander the Great's invasion of the Persian Achaemenid Empire in 331 BC.
5. Camlann: Reference to the battle in Arthurian mythology where King Arthur and Mordred died.
6. Nero Redivivus: Reference to the belief that the Roman Emperor Nero would return after his death in 68 AD.


We decided that Ozymandias and Nero Redivivus were the best so we I went around the class getting their thoughts on the two. Nero Redivivus won 4 votes to 2.
