Childish Intentions

Childish Intentions was one of the former names of Evanescence when Amy Lee and Ben Moody were still trying to get the band off the ground. Stricken, Halo Machine and For The Fallen were other names considered before they made their final decision of the name Evanescence.

Amy was asked about the subject on EvThreads and responded:

I had my brother and sisters make a list of band name ideas while we were thinking about it, cause who knows! A kid might come up with something genius. My favorite was one my brother came up with, the suffocating wolves. And my sis wanted the levitating penguins, that was a real contender. :D
