how about Blowing Bottle Rockets
or Panchas Pilot and the 5 Nail Slam (You might pick up negative publicity for that one though from the church)
When I can think I might post more. (Need more beer..)

it's not easy picking an ear catchingly original name but there are sure some easy ways of coming up with an uninspired one like 'The' + noun. so a good idea to avoid the definite article although that's not too bad 'Definite Article'.
some of the better names have been nicked from hip books, song lyrics, newspaper headlines, pieces of equipment and adverts. e.g
Steely Dan was.. .ahem.. a 'ladies accessory' from the book 'Naked lunch' by William Burroughs if I'm not mistaken.
Deacon Blue was nicked from a Steely Dan number
Frankie Goes to Hollywood was from a newspaper headline about Ole Blue Eyes.
'Echo' from Echo and the Bunnymen was the original drum machine.
Wasnt Rage Against The Machine taken from an Arthur Koestler book?

Hmmm... what exactly is "Fatal Instincts" supposed to mean? Does that mean that your instincts cause deaths? Because that would be a bad thing, no? Maybe you'd rather want a more positive message, like "Non-Death Inducing Instincts", or "100% Beneficial Instincts"...
One word names are good; Grub's suggestion of stealing a name from somewhere else (song lyrics, etc.) is good too. Radiohead got their name from a Talking Heads song, Pink Floyd was named after two bluesmen (Pink Carruthers and Floyd something).
Just try not to get too serious, or else it'll just backfire on you and make you look like you've got a huge ego and love all your own ideas. (that's a bad thing, btw).

Don't even TRY to come up with a kewl band name. They all sound stupid later. Don't name your band with a joke name either, ala "The Goo Goo Dolls". This can come back to haunt you as well.
Name your band THE EXACT SAME NAME as a band you worship...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, We are POISON!"
"Please welcome to the Willies stage: VAN HALEN!"
"Thank you very much Boise! We are THE DIXIE CHICKS!"

Sorry dudes... I was JUST KIDDING about using a name of a famous band. You would get sued.
Just trying to stir things up...
HOWEVER... If you are trying to get a record deal... YOUR NAME DOES MATTER. I remember talking recently with a VP at Capitol and he was saying how all A & R guys were checking out this band because they had a funny and clever name... ALSO, A & R guys like to brag about bands they have signed and they sure as heck don't want to say some lame name when they are talking about it.
Just my .000000002 cents

ok how about Bitchslap...
Punchdrunk...
or try this..
your first name plus one of the names above
For example...
Jimmy Bitchslap
Dr.Johnny Blender and the stirrups
Boner ( The lead singer could do the whole show with a sock and a paper towel tube sticking out of his zipper. It would get attention just for the shock value alone)
Rollin' Bones
or...
anything with "The" in front of it...
Seems to be the hip thing these days
The Braindead Generation
The wifebeaters
or you could just steal this one from Dweezil Zappa...
Bitch Mallory

I'm sorry for my impudence. Forgive me, please! I won't do it again!
On a side note, how about "Yol Mate", or "The We Hate Capital Letters, Punctuation and Other Rules of Grammar Band"?

How about S.W.A. (shredders with attitude), counter to N.W.A. (legendary rap band). R.W.A. (rockers with attitude) is also an option our whatever (with attitude).
