"Fragment of Time" is an awesome name. If I was in that band, that name would inspire me to write a mind-bending prog rock epic. Go for it. That's the one.

I chose Plethora. But I think most of these are names for album rather then band. 

Nice to have a certain idea, explanation for the name, something mithical, philosophical or play of words etc. Also its good if it is unique word or combination of words, so its easy to search it in internet

How about band names like "The Beethoven Conspiracy" or "Anything but Washing Up on Friday Nights"? Another good one would but pretty raunchy would be "The Shaved Genitals".

I think you need to first listen to your music and let it inspire a name. Your name should in some way express who you are collectively. I'm mean, if you're writing music designed to inspire or take listeners on cosmic trips, then the name "The Shaved Genitals" would be a disserice to your band.

On the other hand, if your music was some sort of degenerate, debauched, cabaret-style, post-modern, quasi-performance art/exhibitionist act, then "The Shaved Genitals" would probably bring in the "right" crowd.   And I probably would be in it!

I vote for Cloudburst.
Don't like any of the others.

I used to play drums in a punk band named X-Prep in my teens. We never made an album but had a small local hit, "Ich bin häßlich" ("I am ugly"). X-Prep is a very strong laxative, by the way.

I picked cloudburst, since you said you have blastbeats, but reinforced with "jazz" chords, which gives justice to the cloud part of the name. Either way my band name is Fawns Fear Artemis....I think it may sound too much like a song title, we'll just try it on for a bit.
