Coprofago
Bondage Fruit

Atomic Rooster
Happy the Man
Khan

An 80s band in my area came up with the supremely stupid name of TBA.  Funny how they never developed a following.

There are far more absurd names that good ones. Too many to list (the bad ones)

The first name that comes to mind is The Flower Kings... korky
then, there's 1000 metal bands with horrible names...
- Shadow Gallery,
- Beyond Twilight,
- Seventh Wonder,
- Threshold,
- Liquid Tension Experiment (worse: liquid trio experiment),
- Andromeda,
- The Beatles (not metal but lame!)...

I like short and simple names (Yes, Death, Rush...) and long and/or complicated ones à la post-rock (GYBE!, The Pirate Ship Quintet, This Will Destroy You...

This One Will Destroy You (fixed)

There are some pretty terrible ones on your list, but also some very good ones - This Will destroy You and GY!BE are a few i actually like.

on to the bad . . .

Van der graff generator
Yes
Camel
Egg
Porcupine Tree
Mr. Bungle (i only say this because i feel uncomfortable every time i bring them up, i like the name for the band)
Kansas (same goes for boston)

The Entire Prog Metal Section barring a few odd balls. They might be able to play their instruments but they sure as hell shouldnt write lyrics or be allowed to give themsleves a name. (Kamelot?)

And basically any band that just tries too hard. ie bands that use any of the following words (combinations just make it exponentially worse): death, die, dying, blood, Bloody, decapitation , Napalm, the Letter "X",  fetus or references to violent acts or overly gross imagery.
examples ... Cattle decapitation, Rancid Meatflaps, Anal c**t, Napalm death, Symphony X, dimmension X, eternity X, Alchemy X, XSavior, and Dying Fetus

PROCOL: language
A parallel object language with protocols, constraints and distributed delegation by J. Van Den Bos of Erasmus University, Rotterdam.
Harum:
elevated, (1 Chr. 4:8), a descendant of Judah.
 
makes perfect sense Wink

What are you talking about? That's an awesome band name.
