Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

they have an epic theory behind their name though D:

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head.

I don't like 30 Seconds to Mars, but I don't think their name is so bad.

Hoobastank

Ham Sandwich

The Eagles of Death Metal

I like that name. It's horrible to spell though LOL


eeeer... I've never known what Mott the Hoople means.

The Wanted is one for me, They sound like an out of date Indie Band and it just doesn't suit the godawful boyband image at all. It irks me.

If you MUST make us suffer your awful music you might as well get a less stupid name.

As I Lay Dying are an epic band though.
But yeah, they're supposed to be Christians themselves so idk why they chose that name. xD
Still sounds awesome though.

Iwrestledabearonce - WTF
Youmeatsix
All Time Low
Bring Me The Horizon
Arctic Monkeys (good band though)
The Devil Wears Prada
Asking Alexandria
30 Seconds To Mars (good band though)
Fall Out Boy

Evanesence was a sod of a name when they first came out - nobody knew how to say or spell it properly for about 2 months!

"Ee-van-ee-seen"
"Ay-van-sense"
"even-ay-sense"

The list goes on...

Sponge.

Lit.

Don't know if pop groups count but...
Girls Aloud.
N-Dubz.
All American Rejects..
Girls Can't Catch
Hot Chip
the Killers
the Pussycat Dolls, not really a bad name as such, just odd
the Script
the Streets
Sugababes
the Ting Tings
the Wombats

oh - Len. The onehit wonder with that "Steal My Sunshine". Jesus, if you're going to go into the music industry, don't pick three letters that share a name with one of the Strictly Come Dancing judges.

Boomtown Rats
