Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: What makes a band name "good?" A: The best answer is how fitting it is for the music and how the band actually sounds. I love Fugazi (The band and the name) because it works. The name is a bit off kilter and not part of my normal dialect, but it works because the band is a bit off kilter and deviates (or did before they were aped by every Tom, Dick and Jane) from the standard format of rock music.

What makes one 100% bad is jumping on naming trends. You can say what you want but there was 100% a trend in the late 90's of spelling your band name like you were an inbreed, illiterate dickface. It doesn't make Staind any worse because they misspelled their name (not like you could make Staind any worse) but it certainly makes their name look stupider when lined up with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Puddle of Mudd and an array of other shit shoveling names.

So basically, try to find a name that works with your music and isn't of the current trend. I'd say right now, it's long stupid names that sort of make sentences but only sentences that a complete asshat would say.
