Folks, let’s not forget to try to stick reasonably close to (or at least within sight of) the traditional constraints mentioned in the orginal post……makes it more fun to work within the constraints… it’s easy to think of cool names that could fit a rock band, blog, night club, etc…. but the trick is to pick things that immediately inspire a pub. There have been some amazing ones chosen so far… keep ‘em coming!

Hi Mark

Planck’s Foam could be an old ship’s deck with the ocean washing across it. Most of them have obvious options – like Archimede’s in his bath, or the Double Helix or…

Location and Type of free-house?

The String and Fiddle (Live Arguments daily)
The H-Bar (Regular, for up and downs)
The P + Q
The Vacuum Chamber ( with a Dark retarded “Function” Room )
The Spectrum ( D.I.S.C.O )

All of the above only serve Half-Spin-Measure’s,(no drinks are shaken or stirred!) and their snack/food menu’s are only limited to Periods due to constant decay modes no longer than the confirmed standard Half-Life.

Remember that a lot of the names that you gave are really descriptions of the pictures boards that hang outside the pubs. This was even more important before a lot of people were literate, so “Cock and Bull” would have a picture of a cock and bull outside. Cat and Fiddle similarly, King’s Arms would have a sword and Axe ore something like that. So what would the pictures on the Pub sign be for all your names?

Some of these sound more like band names than pubs, but I suppose there is a lot of overlap.

A few more ideas (some similar to those already mentioned):

King Philip’s (probably too obscure, even for this crowd)
The Genotype and the Phenotype
The Double Helix
The Top Quark

Of course, pace Linnaeus, the ultimate scientufic pub name would be Publicusdomus alcoholicus.

It occurs to me that there should be a pub called “Schroedinger’s Cup” wherein if you never observe your drink, it will be simultaneously empty and full.
