Stand Name Generator

Almost every Stand in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is named after Western music. Hirohiko Araki started in Part 3 with tarot cards and Egyptian gods (Star Platinum, The World, Anubis), but by Part 4 the rule was set: Stands take the names of bands (Crazy Diamond is a Pink Floyd reference, Killer Queen and Sheer Heart Attack are Queen songs, Aerosmith and Metallica are just the bands), albums (White Album, Weather Report, Achtung Baby), and songs (Highway to Hell, Made in Heaven, Born This Way). Sub-abilities and evolutions get suffixes: ACT 1 through ACT 4, Requiem, or a second song from the same artist, like Killer Queen's Bites the Dust.

A good Stand name therefore does two things. It sounds like a real record you might have heard, and it hints at the ability. Sticky Fingers unzips things, Heaven's Door writes on people, Made in Heaven accelerates time toward paradise. Araki also loves slightly mangling the reference so it fits Japanese pronunciation or avoids trademarks: Kraft Work, Notorious B.I.G, Boy II Man, Talking Head, Little Feet. That deliberate off-by-one spelling is part of the flavor.

This list combines the canon Stands from Parts 3 through 8 with original names drawn from real bands and songs Araki has not used yet, so you can pick a name for a JoJo OC, a tabletop character, or a Stand-themed team and have it sound like it walked out of the manga.
