Could I point you at this?

Frank and I need a name.  Not a silly name - we've got plenty of fun ideas for silly names, but they are not a good idea for playing at weddings and funerals which need a certain gravitas*.

Help us, Obi-Wan Kenofriendslist, you are our only hope!

What a shame 'Chimes' is taken already... :-D

I wonder if I can free-associate in type? Let's see. Weddings and funerals, huh?

Hatches Matches and Despatches. Ready Steady Go. Together and Apart. In and Out. Bind and Release. (Binding. Hold that thought.) Music of Dreams. Hold the Dream. Hmmmm something with 'Thoughts' in? Holdfast. (Lawrence's The Passing of Time is taken too... Passing of Rhyme, though?) Rhymes of Passage. Onward. Onward in Life. Going for a Song (maybe not...). Timbres of Hope (not that anyone will know how to pronounce it!). Hope Strings Eternal (no, not another bad pun!). Sound (the) Advance. Sing Forth. Two Turtle Doves. Seasons Round.

OK, I'll stop.

Surely that should be "Sing Fourth" ;)

Depends. They might be singing in thirds. Or fifths... *g*

Um, thinking of garden-y themes as well...

I like Zander's idea of Twine. Woodbine (no, too tobacco-y?). Columbine. Bindweed (hey, we're back to 'binding'...). Petals of Forever (too twee?). Stem and Root. Seed and Flower. Songseed(s). Flowers of the Forest. Thyme and Tune. The Ladies of Shallott (no, that's a TERRIBLE pun). Greensleeves! (Or Greenfingers...) Ladybird, Ladybird. Fly Away Home. Sky Blue, Grass Green.

Someone shut me up.

Throwing out ideas by free association, in case some suggest something usable:

Fiddlers Green if you had a fiddle. Harpers Green? Greensong, Greensingers, Greenplay.

Anon, Ibid and Opcit (deceased). No, they are lawyers or private investigators.

Harp and hammered dulcimer -- Halcimer? Halcyon? If I had a hammer... Struck By The Muse (Muse Struck, Mustruck, music?).

Strings in the Wood. Gut and Metal (Guts and Roses?).

Tune English (tuning-ish). Et Tu(ning), Brute? Tune and Key.
