Bands with terrible names and the people who love them anyway

Band names aren't hard to come up with. I thought of two just writing that sentence. "Federal Duck" and "Comeuppance". See? It's not hard. I saw a band a few years ago, some sort of jazz/swing/ska/rock/funk band full of saxophones played by people in their forties. They rocked the muthafuckin' house down. I ran up to them after the show to grab a CD. After paying the twenty bucks (pricey, no?) I ran to my car and took a look at the disc, anxious to learn the name of my new favorite ba--what the fuck? "Love Dogs"? Seriously? That's their name? And the CD is titled "In the dog house"? Holy crap in a hat, that's the worst name ever! Christ, the cover art even has a collection of cartoonish dogs playing saxophones. How lame.

Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever liked a band so much they would be your favorite...if it weren't for their lame-ass shitty cliched run-of-the-mill name?
