    I quite like Motorloaf. Or possibly Meathead. 

    You could try sending that to Denis Pauna, now the band is no more, he's continuing the tradition of every song Motörhead cover becoming a Motörhead song, witness:

    My favourite in my current band was Fat Elvis. But a google search quickly showed that had already been done.

    It must be really hard trying to name a band , I mean , what if you are called Dave Mathews and you have a band? Or if you actually are all criminals and love to have fun and not just a bin lorry guy? Or what if you cant say no?

    'Oh , I got it , I cant ever say no , so , I will call this band Ye.... Oh, fuck''

    Thers a Patelvis who does gigs around Chester. 

     Aziz Abrahim from the Stone Roses goes under the name Johnny Kashmir sometimes too.

    My best mate had far more success in Goatsniffer than anyone would ever have thought, even being immortalised in a rock family tree on the wall of the Georgian Theatre in Stockton that has all sorts of people including Paul Rogers on it!

    In the late Seventies, inspired by The Prefects, two of my brother's school contemporaries started a punk band named The Gleet. (Look it up in a medical dictionary.)

    Wrangler Stacey & The Love Rockets.

    Doesn't quite qualify because I did use it for one gig. My stage name was Stevie Crud.

    I was also briefly in a band with a name which was a Portuguese colloquialism for something to do with swollen testicles. We practiced in a flat with a guy known as Captain John who went on to do quite well in a band called The Humph Family.

    Has anyone dared to be called "Wizard's Sleeve"? I'm sorry, but it is a great name for a Band  :#
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    How about a tribute band, celebrating the combined outpourings of Mancunian big heads, Frank Sidebottom and Mark E. Smith? 

    The Foul, doncha know?

    That could work for a K-Pop Group: "B.A.D."

    Sad that "they" can't deal with English words with a few syllables and "everything" gets shortened (dumbed down) to some random alphabets "that don't mean sh_".

    "They" as in fans or the management? I don't know nor do I care. That stuff is so manufactured I can't see just how the bleep they have become so popular.

    I compiled a list over a few months during the lockdown times, here's a few personal favourites. I have not checked if any of these exist...

    Elf Knuckle
    Smutstick
    Caramel Blando Band
    Sickle Cell Shenanigans
    Dogs Of Lidl Bin
    Wrong Uncle
    Machine Gun Magpies
    The Dirty Apostles
    House List Jumpers
    The Ghost Of Wilfred Bramble
    Barky Dog Bristling
    Monkey Bone

    Loads more where that came from, probably a medium sized festival's worth.

    Some great names, here.. you should form some bands..
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Is that pronounced "Pups", just as Sunn O))) is pronounced "Sun"?

    It’s a bit niche, but if you were a Slayer tribute that only played tracks from their Punk/ Hardcore covers album, you could be:
