What came back, unedited
1. **Winter Harbour** β the sea off-season, grey water, quiet piers. Directly from your story, calm and cold. 2. **Last Bus Home** β the long ride back at midnight, headlights on wet roads. Literal but warm. 3. **Salt Lamps** β soft glow, faint sea air. Cosy, slightly washed-out, very reverb-friendly. 4. **Low Tide Club** β three friends, a private spot on the beach nobody else visits. Intimate and a bit ironic. 5. **Pale Shoreline** β faded colours, haze over the water. Dreamy, almost watercolour. 6. **Night Route** β bus-stop signs, empty seats, sodium lights. Minimal and modern. 7. **Fog Signal** β the lonely sound of the coast at night; suggests slow, echoing songs. 8. **Grey Sea Kids** β three locals who grew up by cold water. Youthful, nostalgic. 9. **Shipping Forecast Hearts** β late-night radio voice meets heartbreak. Wordy but memorable. 10. **Offseason** β closed arcades, empty promenades. Melancholic, one clean word. 11. **Harbour Lights Out** β the moment everything goes dark except the water. Cinematic. 12. **Sleepy Coast** β gentle, hushed, pillow-soft; fits the "dreamy" tag perfectly. 13. **Fare Stage** β bus ticket language turned into a band name. Quirky, British-sounding, easy to search. 14. **Driftline** β where the sea leaves things behind on the sand. Smooth, slightly mysterious. 15. **The Tide Tables** β practical coastal detail with a wistful ring. Classic indie "The ___s" shape. 16. **Winter Swimmers** β brave friends in freezing water at dawn. Bright, tender, a little mad. 17. **Window Seat** β the view from the night bus, forehead on cold glass. Simple and relatable. 18. **Sea Glass Radio** β weathered, worn smooth, humming softly. Pretty and textured. 19. **Marram** β the grass that holds the dunes together. One short, unusual word, strong image of home. 20. **Headlights on the Pier** β a single frozen scene, lonely and romantic. Works great as a lyric too. Before settling on one, search each shortlisted name on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok to check nobody is already using it.
