An old housemate was into emo/angry white teen music and there were plenty of shitty band names that sprang up, "Funeral for a friend" being the worst.

Ouch! You know you're in for some seriously wussy shit when the band is named after an Elton John song.
I have been contemplating opening a service similar to the website name assingment deal. All bands would be required to submit their name to my organization (with some context info if necessary) and then we would make a determination up or down. I think It would be fun to send out a form letter for rejections.
Dear Hoobastank, your name sucks. We're sorry but we have rejected your request for this name. You'll have go back to the drawingboard. After listening to your demo might we suggest American Garbage.
Regards, Standards and Practices
Awesome idea. I will even intern for the greater good.
I can't believe you were the first and only one to name Hoobastank. That has to be in the top 5 worst names ever.
And Eagles Of Death Metal is fucking great too - perfect name for meth-addicts recording their albums in a trailer in the desert. Their albums shit over 99% of recent rock music.

Your friend needs to patent that list and market it as an emetic.

I'd also like to add Phunk Junkeez to the list.
Dear Phunk Junkeez, your music is not funky. Junky yes. My staff recommends that you adopt the nom de rock, American Garbage.

I**, my staff will be contacting you in the near future as we move forward with the opening of our operations. We are always looking for committed, enterprising young talent to further our quest to rid the world of stupid bands names. Just last week, we shut down distribution of recordings by Nickelback, Live and Rainbow ( a heavy rock outfit, fer christsakes). In the coming months we'll be sponsoring clinics across the nation, lead by bands with great names like Guided By Voices, Black Sabbath, Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers as well as Smegma. Looking forward to working with you.

Imagine what it was like for me working at the local student station in Ann Arbor! They must have played the grooves right off that record.
To be fair, WCBN had one of the best local music shows I've ever heard.
Toad The Wet Sprocket.
The Samples.
Blues Traveler.
Moe.
Hah! All from the same era/genre... Dawson Rock!
SG
haha
I work at a used cd store so its pretty easy, I could do this shit all day. Pretty much name any band from the 90's
hello i cannot get enough of your avatar
Thanks! I can't really take credit for it, though... I got it from one of mylatency's posts or something.
SG
uh, this is a fantastic band name

FYI, this genre is called "verbcore."
Or any band that uses either of these words in any way shape or form.
Yeah ... that name pisses me off. No incident involving string cheese is worth stamping yourself with.
Then,
The Jazz June
Sounds like they put a quarter in the emo band name machine.
Jesus. Just hang yourself.
Ditto for "Funeral Diner".
We were trying to think of what we'd name a middle school aged emo band the other night. I came up with "No Recess" ...
But I think I'd change it to "Rainy Recess"
Emo.
Are you sure it wouldn't be "Meet Me Under the Tire Swing?"
Or maybe ... "If You Want Me I'll Be Under the Tire Swing Crying About my Dad".
Or maybe, to follow the standard three-word naming convention:
Melancholy For Lunch
Bully's Punching Bag
hee hee
or
Don't Need Girls
Teacher I'm Innocent
Lunch Money Losses
Locker Breaks Nose
Boys Cry Too
Unrequited Schoolbus Crush
It's also a fucking great Motorhead song too.
And Eagles Of Death Metal is fucking great too - perfect name for meth-addicts recording their albums in a trailer in the desert.
Their albums shit over 99% of recent rock music.

"do make say think"
"Asbestosdeath" - as repped on the "Rep your Metal thread"
"Megadeth" - sounds like a Top Trump card that would beat this one:
"The Black Crowes" - most crows are black. Apart from 1/100000 albino ones.
"? And the Mysterians" - good for pub trivia though.
Pretentious champ for me was "Now Is The Time To Forget The Whimpering Child And Become The Warrior."
Names I like:
"Half-man, Half-biscuit". Genius. Before that, they were called "Attempted Moustache".
