Magazine Title Names

Possible magazine title names:
The genre for my magazine is going to be indie/indie rock and I have chosen this genre because this is the type of music I listen to on a regular basis.

These were some initial title names which i came up with.

I took some of my better magazine title names and took a tally from other people in my class and they decided which name they preferred. I chose people from my class as they are of a similar age to who my magazine is aimed at.

Possible magazine title names:
Unknown - I feel this ties in well with my genre because all indie bands are first unknown and they find their own way into the music industry and so i think this works well however I think it isn't enticing enough.

Undiscovered - Similar to the one above all indie bands are undiscovered at first and thy are independent making their own way into music before eventually becoming known.

Diverse - Indie bands have a different music style and so this makes them 'diverse' so i think this title works well however it doesn't have a music style to it making it unclear as to whether it is a music magazine or not.

Distinct - Indie bands have a unique and distinct sound to their music and so i think this fits the genre particularly well.

Modify - All music gets modified and although this is music related it can be applied to any music genre not just mine.

Desolate - This means to differ and indie bands are different so i think this works well but it can be mislead for desolate meaning destruction so people may think the magazine is a rock magazine only when it isn't.

Anonymous -This name is my least favourite out of all my titles but it still links in with my genre but lacks that musical touch.

These were my initial ideas and after conferring with my teacher she decided that they weren't catchy enough and they wouldn't entice the audience to buy the magazine if i were to put it up on sale. Also they didn't tie in well with my genre and so i had to rethink of some new title names.

I then decided to look up the definition for the word indie:

It is evident the independence is a particular importance within this genre and so i looked up some synonyms for the word 'independent':

I also thought that Indie bands are quite unique and have a unique sound so i looked up synonyms for the word 'unique':

After Having Researched all of these synonyms, I decided to change my approach and decide to choose a name that went against the idea of independence which Indie bands and artists represent and twist it round. 

I came across the word 'Standard' as one of my favourite magazine titles. I then did a survey to see what other people thought was the best name for a title of a magazine and here were my results:

The survey above shows that 'Standard' was chosen as the best name for my magazine and this was also one of my favourites so I have chosen this as my final name for my magazine.
