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.

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.
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.

1960's garage bands didn't skimp when it came to naming themselves. Even if it was something generic like "the Chosen Few."
Now, 1980's synth-pop bands...that's when imagination flew out the window
