Naming a Band

Hi everyone!

I run a rock band and have an idea to name it 'Aces Up the Sleeve'.

Does it sound ok? What I doubt the most is 'the' instead of a pronoun. While surfing online, I mostly met examples such as 'Aces up sleeve' without 'the'.

You need something between up and sleeve. 'My' , 'your', 'his', even just 'a' all work.

Thank you for your response, Vi? Z!
So, 'the' is also possible here?

Yes but it raises the question of which sleeve. Anything is OK for a band name I guess. Also, if you make it plural 'Aces up Sleeves' works.
