BAD NAMES FOR BANDS! (Avoid at All Costs!)

My jazz band recently selected "Moment's Notice" for the band name.  I hate it.  It is overused by many bands, isn't unique and conveys nothing positive.  However, I decided to live with it because it is a minor issue at this point in time.

While researching great names for bands, however, I came across worse names for bands.  Based on marketing research and psychological principles, there are some band names that you should NEVER use.  Here are some of them:

Bulbous Buttocks
Rusty Hinge
Ugly Woman
Halitosis
Toenail Fungus
Ingrown Toenail
Worms and Slugs
Bad Body Odor
Fingernails on a Blackboard
Full Spittoon
Rock In My Shoe
Festering Wound
Moldy Bread
Abscessed Tooth
Nosebleed
Compound Fracture
The Drunk Tank
On Parole
Highly Infectious
Ripe Cadaver
Dead Fish
Sour Notes
Purple Bruise

You have been warned:  these band names will not provide the public with a good impression of your band or your music.
