It would probably be punk rock or avant-garde experimental indie because I lack skills for anything else. I don't know what I'd seriously call my band. I can think of random and embarrassing names though, that's fun.

You could have one of those "we're so awesome we don't take ourselves seriously but we're trying so hard to make it look like we don't take ourselves seriously that it looks like we're taking ourselves seriously anyway by having such a snarky name" names:

Colour by Number Music
We're in a Band
Pretentious Twats
Aspiring Pseudo-Bohemians
some br00tal sh*t
vltrakvlt
We Don't Cut Our Hair Anymore
Trite Concept

...Or a vaguely philosophical or semantically confusing name:

FSM Momentary World Changers
beta-future (cheesy pun!)
Semantic Virtue
We Like Air
Maintenance
Conscience
The Brain that Wouldn't Die (yes it's an old film)
Public Domain
Antiquity Cred
Contrived Randomness
Junkyard Paradise
The Acidic Bookmarks
The Charming Footprints
Jolly Grimace
Semiantics
Ambi (I just discovered there's a Japanese singer on myspace called that though, like a cutesy girlish name)
ismism
meta-meta

Blatantly ridiculous "wtf were they thinking that doesn't make sense at all that is stupid!" names:

Pieliner
pseudowaffletacular
Esoteric Glacelactis (my school actually used this suggestion for the art exhibition haha)
Potential Mating Partners
beta-moob
Absotively Nothingful
Gorbschwuffles
Ye Olde Cone Hats
Monocle Diver

The possibilities are endless!

At least they're better (though not necessarily more marketable) than those pretentious deathcore band names. Murder, blood, death, and chainsaws in middle class suburbia! "Hey mom can I borrow the minivan for band practice?" "But mooom I've already done my homework!" "Yeah, it's a reference to Jesus's blood they're not satanists I swear." Br00tal. Okay, I can't generalise completely.

I bet there's a formula for band names somewhere. Actually, I think almost anything can grow on people if they sound good and get the right amount of publicity. Bananarama, Neutral Milk Hotel, wtf?

Time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

OT: I would probably start a V POP group(Vietnamese POP) called whatever the initials of the members make. Like DVLC xD

I already thought of a nameonce. It was 'Jester', or 'Jesters', depends on what I like most I guess. With our first album: Self Sustained Parody!


WOOOO!

Sorry but the greatest name for a band has already been taken.

Fuck Buttons [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck_Buttons]

I like it when they're kind of random, but sound good. You could start really simple and just keep changing in absurd ways. My brother kinda settled his dj name on Elected, while we kept throwing it around from tedje pubdub (he was spinning dub in clubs) to ted du fromage (our father's got a cheese shop, also this roughly translates as cheesehead, a word for dutch people).

Also, the greatest band name in the world (where my mind can reach anyway) is WAU Y LOS ARRRGHS!!!
