In 1990, someone told me to listen to "Sonic Youth"...and I lost a few months before finally doing it, just because I was not attracted at all by their name !!
Though SY became very fast one of my favorite bands (and still is since then), it's still far to be my favorite band name, and I still find their name is a bit dumb when I mention it to people who don't know anything about them (and about music) ... but it's not much worse than Can, Pavement or The Velvet Underground...
I prefer shorter and/or abstract band names (Fugazi, Blurt, The Ex, Sebadoh, Shellac...)
