What should I call my band?

I'm sure you know, but seriously think this one through - this thread will result in two possibilities:
(1) You get suggested a band name you like.
(2) People troll the shit out of this thread.
If (1) is true, then what could possibly be lamer than being interviewed and the question "where does your band name come from?" being answered with: "uh, I got it off an internet forum". If (2) is true (more likely), any band named something "hilarious" like "The Wankshafts" is going to be the most annoying and unoriginal novelty you can come up with.

So here's something I hope might help - if you're after something that sounds memorable or even just cool, best avoid deeply thought out "words full of personal meaning" stuff. Something that has a nice ring to it is really what you want to find, perhaps listen to some of your favourite songs and any particularly cool sounding phrase is worth considering.
