What are names you have come up with?
I'll seed the tip jar:
The Three Dimensional ExLax Factory
Tomb of the Golden Scorpion (thx Randall, R.I.P. sorry your group never made it out of the Haight)
Dystopia
The Choice
Rain
Lost Canyon Band
I've got 338 names on a 9 year long running potential band name list. My favorite - for a blues band: The Red Devil Liars.
The Band...but someone already took it. 😉
Alfred E. and the blood clots
We did this before a few years ago, but:
The Bentwood Rockers (or "Brentwood" if you're near Nashville)
Buzzy Frets
Toadfish (after a strange creature found on my fishing line the other day)
I got more - I'll get back.
Mongoose
I always thought that might be a good name for a straight ahead hard rock band .
cool names. Mongoose for straight ahead reminded me of one: Bloodgroove for straight ahead too. Maybe too Nugentish, but pretty cool.
Heyward Jablomie and the Swallows
Regretfully Living - we play metal/punk/jam versions of Dead songs.
The cool smoothing sounds of The Preparation Blues Band
Swamp Foot
Burnin' Stump
Blue Denim Fuzz
Fustercluck
Someday, everything's gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece.
Not mine, but from ( priceless ) Jack Black in 'High Fidelity' - Sonic Death Monkey:
Edit: If you haven't seen High Fidelity, I highly recommend it.
Other band names from Jack Black: Kathleen Turner Overdrive, Barry Jive and the Uptown Five
His rendition of 'Let's Get it On' is worth watching the move alone:

The Tuners
The first band I was ever in; we all had the worst of the worst for instruments, none of our guitars would stay in tune for more than one or two songs. One night at a house party, someone yelled, "You guys oughta change your name to the Tuners".....as we were telling them we were "The Almost Brothers Band"
My cousin had a band in Chicago called Butt Gravey. I like the name Louis Stool.
The Chamblee Tucker Band.... kind of a local thing. Best song was "Take The Flyway"
Crack And The Plumbers
The Tuners is a fantastic band name!
Mem Brane and the Sparticles
Toe Jam Tony and the Fungus
The Bungsnumpers
Malware
The Side Effects
Unknown Symptoms
The Shnertgrinders
Puffy Pete and the Cupcakes
Whispering Levi's
Bumpy Noggins
Uranus Plurabis
I could go on forever. As mentioned, had a thread like this a while back. Funny as hell.
remember back in high school someone had a really cool name for a band but wouldn't reveal it, because then it would get "stolen". like a cool name was all that was needed to rocket to Van Halen-like success. heh,heh
Some funny ones that were actual bands:
1) jiggle the handle
2) Vertical smile
3) Bloody elephants
4) Jerry Rosebud and the Brown Ringers
Fat Head Johnson
Snake Head Fish Band (a play on a headline that read: Snake Head Fish Banned)
Heterosapiens

ok, cool, yeah I was looking for the original thread, couldn't find it.
Here's a couple horribles:
Necrofelchyr
and
Umlaut, for a krautrock parody, cant do the name justice here, there is an umlaut over every vowel.
I suggested a name for a band, which would've been their name except the project never got off the ground. So therefore the name is still available...
THE TIPSY ANGELS
I once saw Mark Kimbrell (Oteil and the Peacemakers) play with a band called the Mathew Divine Insestet

I thnk I saw Jiggle the Handle up in Maine at Sunday River.
when I was in college I was in 2 short lived bands. I think the 1st band actually got paid - a little
The Spirit of Bird (jazz band)
The Bloody Stools (punk band we formed as a joke for a fraternity talent show)
On another site I post on we quote some of the lines that are used and turn them into
#GBN
# Great Band Name
Four Degree Fog
Short bus helmets
Yesterday's gas
Hippie Hogwash
Florida Piggy Bank

Likewise with my short lived band, RIVER RUN. Drummer moved to Frankilin, TN and the guitarist enrolled at Miss St University.
