Being on Last.FM has provided me with a treasure trove of stupid band names:

We Are Enfant Terrible
Inspiral Carpets
The Berg Sans Nipple
Right Away, Great Captain!
Monopoly Child Star Searchers
Cloud Becomes Your Hand
Dogs Die In Hot Cars
We All Have Hooks For Hands
Blanche Blanche Blanche
The World Is A Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid To Die
SHXCXCHCXSH
Giraffes? Giraffes!
Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos
Margot & The Nuclear So and So's
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate)
 
I may have a hard-on for Hansi's overdubbed voice, but even I think Blind Guardian is a dumb name, even if it means "one who guards the blind" rather than "a guardian who is blind".

And yes, I am aware the last Blind Guardian fan was a Asian Nazi who tried to shoot up a mall.
 
Turbo Negro - actually just cool
Boyz II Men - Sounds like a competitor to Grindr, uses z in place of an s, and replaces letters with numbers.
 
Bowling for Soup
Alien Ant Farm
The Band (I understand why they chose the name, but on paper it just looks like they didn't put any thought into it)
Anything involving Rubber/Elastic bands
Arcade Fire
Anything involving a random number after a random word
Most boy-bands have horrible names
Badfinger (even though they're awesome)
Big Star (ditto)
Def Leppard
I always thought DJ Shadow sounded like a woefully generic DJ handle
Fountains of Wayne
The Goo-Goo Dolls
Eagle Eye Cherry
The Human Beinz
Love
Music Go Music
The Soft Boys
The Feelies
Vampire Weekend is quite Hipsterish
Edit: Any post-rock and/or metal bands who have sentences for names
 
Bands with "Metal" in their names
Metal Law
Metal Inquisitor
Metalium
Metalachi
Metallica
Metal Church
Eagles of Death Metal
Metal (Yes, that's a band name, they're not terribly good)
 
Every emo band name ever. The worst are the Verbing Somebody names.
Every goddamn indie band ever.
Slint. It's just really stupid.
