I'm going to start a rock band. Need a name.
This is what I've come up with so far:
Primordial Soup
Nagging Groin Injury
Butternut Squash
Shit Tickets
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. The more creative the better. We'll mostly be doing covers of punk/ska stuff, but also some classic rock.

As a critic and music lover, I will say this -
please god do not pick any name with a "funny" word/concept in it. this includes monkeys, ninjas, kooky, crabs, brains, lobsters, dongs, chickens, spoons, cuties, and - yes, - groin, squash and mittens.
I suggest you pick something simple. Pick something that still sounds good after hearing/seeing it a hundred and fifty times. (If you still find any given name funny after seeing it 150 times, it is a sign you have bad judgment.)

THE POINT STANDS.
haha - actually, i guess that's a good point. if it's a band name no one is ever going to see more than once, and you don't care if a critic is ever going to have to decide to listen or not based on the name, you might as well make people smile when you introduce yourselves.

I second the Marquis. As a frequent show-goer and sporadic critic myself, I'm often turned off by "funny" or ridiculous names. You want something people won't feel dumb saying aloud, so the whole word-of-mouth campaign can be successful. Something simple, catchy and easy to remember is always the best plan, in my idea.
With that said, I'm horrible at thinking up names. I do enjoy one-word names, so maybe you could do just "Squash," or some shorter derivative of your suggested names. "Parent Teacher Night" has a nice ring to it, too, and doesn't take itself too seriously.

I used to have a guitar teacher who told me that, above all else, the name of a band had to make some connection with the kids. I pressed him for an example, but rather than giving one he asked me if I thought the name Lunch Money was good. He ended up using it.
So, by that logic, I guess xmutex's suggestion would be the best.

Or, if you want to go the one-word route, how about just "Butternut"? It avoids the whole jokey-name dilemma while still being funny, and kind of dirty...

Lunch Money is a good one. You could make the "c" into the symbole for "cents".

deafweatherman - Funny you should say that. For his first album cover, my teacher was debating between that and putting a quarter in place of the "o." He opted for the latter.

Steal a popular blog name. If they object, assuming you ever find out, just tell them theirs is your favorite blog EVAR and you named your band after their blog as a tribute.

Oh. And ... Coming from the ska/punk scene, I'd encourage you to avoid "ska" pun names. They reek of "late '90s amateurish high school ska band." Having played with a different band called Free Beer, I'd encourage you to avoid the cutesy "riff off a marquee" names. They reek of "no-talent hacks with no potential beyond the local Tuesday-night local talent showcase."

From a GCSE biology lesson:
"Thank you, Seattle. We are THE CAUSATIVE AGENTS OF DISEASE!"
I always thought that would be an awesome name for a band; it's the title I use for any 'untitled' projects that I work on. I used to manage a band called "about:blank" until they broke up, so that name is also available.
