When I was a kid I used to look at the old movies listed in the TV Guide to find band names because I found many bands got their names from old films......there were some good ones.
In Cold Blood
Hellfighters
Spirits Of The Dead
One Eyed Jacks
The Killer Shrews
The Creeping Terror
The Body Snatchers
Not Of This Earth
Also in the late 70's my buddies and I had various garage punk bands and I remember one name that lasted a day or two was
The Blind Can Nazi
When my last band started I was on a mission to name the band Sussudio, I had three people on board but the drummer wouldn't be convinced. I should have overridden his dumb drumming ass because Sussudio is the best name for a hardcore band ever. When people ask you the name of your band and you say "Sussudio" you can watch a whole wave of recognition, revulsion, and then realization of how great it is wash over people's face. I'm always going to be salty we didn't go with it.
I did get to go with my second choice, Miscegenator, which I feel is still pretty solid. Especially since our band has 3 of four members in mixed race marriages.

Been done by a long-runnning skinhead band from Brooklyn. Back in the 90's they stood out because two of the members were Black, but I think those dudes are gone now.

Often, the truth is stranger than fiction.
BITD I knew of a band called Ska-rotum. There could be a whole subthread of ska puns
