Test Icicles
What were they thinking? If you're over the age of 12 you won't find this name funny. Its just juvenile and stupid and completely prevents anyone from taking you seriously as musicians.

Hoobastank
I'm not sure what they were going for here, but this name sounds gross. I'm not expert, but I don't think the first reaction you want people to have when they first hear your band name is disgust.

Limp Bizkit
Not only did this band really suck, their very name makes you want to punch someone. I know you're trying to get street cred, but your super cool, renegade spelling of biscuit isn't cutting it. What the hell is the name supposed to mean anyway?

Hootie & The Blowfish
Yes, this is a really really silly name, especially when you consider the type of music they played. What's more, for the rest of his life lead singer Darius Rucker has to remind people that he's not named Hootie.

Korn
So you're trying to get your badass, hardcore Nu-Metal band noticed. I've got it, why don't you name them after a vegetable, but change the spelling to make it more "street"? Brilliant idea! Here's a million dollars!
