How about reversing the letters or make it upsidedown? Even if they sounds the same they will still sue you if they want to. Heard about "Windows" and "Lindows"?. How about in the song titles? There are so many songs with the same title. And also a song with almost the same music or tune but different name. Naming a band is sometimes hard to think about. It must be unique and easy to remember. I like the name of the band like a phrase or sentence, i.e; "Tower Of Power", "Alan Parson's Project", "Arrested Development", "Hungry Young Poets", "Pet Shop Boys".
