Orlando commented to Spin that he was looking for a name that "couldn't be cool, couldn't be put into some kind of scene that gets hip for six months and then falls out of fashion."{{cite web|url=http://www.spin.com/blogs/totally-enormous-extinct-dinosaurs-and-his-jurassic-pop/|title=Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and His Jurassic Pop|work=SPIN|access-date=10 March 2015}}
