Concurrence. They're not entirely too lame when you're typing it over the interwebz, but in normal music-related conversation, bringing up a band with more than 4 syllables is a pain in the tush.

I just abreviate to "Death Cab" when I have to- I quite like that name.

The family name is actually Smith. Thats what makes the choice so much lamer.
I also think The Shins isn't such a bad name. The actual word is so rarely used I don't even assoicate the band with the body part. When I hear "shins" I only think about the band.

There's a band called Him that've been going since the mid-90s. Sorta post-dub experimentalism or whatever.. very 90s-New-York, to my mind. They released some stuff on Fat Cat.
If we want to talk about pretentious punctuation how about GYBE? I'll get it wrong, but they moved from Godspeed You! Black Emperor to Godspeed You Black Emperor! (or vice versa).. and that seems really lame.

It's actually quite good if you know the play I (think) it refers to.

Anyways... horrible band names.
Go!Go!7188: This one has random numbers AND ! In their defense they can really rock out. The name is actually pronounced Go!Go! Nana Ichi Hachi Hachi.
Seagull screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her: These guys are form Japan, and they're wierd. Hooray for engrish!
Thee Michelle Elephant Gun: cool band, wierd name/
Zwan: Billy Corgan grew a mustache, found God and looked like a total poof. But really, what is a Zwan? A goth Swan?
Name Taken: No shit?
The Guess Who: Arrrg... I don't like the Who, I dislike this band even more because I don't get their name.
Stroke 9: What happens on Stroke 9?
Number One Fan: Huh?
No Use For a Name: Yeah, shitty bands rarely need names.
The Music: Way to put some effort into it guys.
Foo Fighters: What is Foo and why are they fighting it?
