Okay so I am in a local garage band and we got a show booked, to book it we had to give them a band name...then it dawned on us after a few months of practice, the topic of a name never came up...we gave the venue a name on the spot but later, over a few drinks sat around spit balling names. The result was a series of absurdly goofy titles and a few 'serious' ones that no one could agree on. For fun, I thought I would solicit Dakka to see if any of your have any good names. If it helps, our sound is somewhere between garage prog rock and punk).
*Disclaimer by submitting a suggestion you forfiet all rights and give me permission to steal the name and use it for my own devious purposes.

My bands name is
"Jim Moist and the Towellets"
I would say go for something totaly off the wall that has nothing to do with your band. Like.....
"Wandering Schnauzer"
"Double Diped Locusts"
"Loincloth and the Pan Flutes"
"Pan Flute Nightmare!"
"Wings of the Monarch"
"FlashPants and the Electric Eclectic!"

This get's my vote....or at least some variation...
T-Rex and the Coconuts
Coconut Sharptooth..
Coconut T-Rex and the Young Earthers..
Honestly...picking a band name is always a bit of a " Go for the chuckles" sort of thing for me...
The first band I was in way back in the 80's was a punk band called Ketucky Fried Children...don't really recall how that name came about...but it stuck.
Another band I played in took it's name from the scene in which Randy Quaid smashes his jet into the Alien Ship in Independance Day..
Others have been various "tounge in cheek" names as well...with the exception of some "spooky" stuff I always thought was funny..
It's been my rule of thumb to never take naming your band to seriously.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
