I really like "Stabbing!" and "Subduction Denialists", though the latter is a bit unwieldy.
A few of these were top results in the last round, too.
See, most of those would not make great band names. “Penisarium” has its charms though.

2010: The Year in band names
Hobnola is pretty cool.
My fave band name from the 2010 review is ZZ BOTTOM. If you’re looking for a name for your band, don’t miss http://greatnameforaband.com/
Stabbing! jumped out at me too. It’s the exclamation point that does it.
Reminds me that in high school a friend and I came up with a fake punk band called The Living Abortions. Had a logo and everything, which we drew everywhere. Eventually I had people asking me if I had caught the Living Abortions show last week, cuz it was like so punk.

awesome :)
plato: My favorite fake-metal band name that some guys I knew in HS invented, complete with logo, was “Ataxia.”
Modesto is right, though. Many of those are lousy names. Among other things, local experience suggests that having “cunt” or even “vagina” in your band name leads to it being bowdlerized by promoters.
P.S. Stroke Belt Fish Munchers would be a great band name
in honor of the return of V: i think Anna And The Visitors would be a great band name.
I’ve always been a proponent of “Free Beer”
Friday Night @ The Half Time Rec: Free Beer 9 til close!
Free Kitten beat you to it.
On a similar note, way back in the dark ages my friends and I wanted to have a band called “From Athens GA.”
“Friday at the Antenna: Panther Burns with special guest From Athens GA!”
