Good Band Names
Bunnyman:
Damn Echo and his Bunnymen! Damn convergent evolution!
I like 'em short and punchy, much as I like my album covers bold and geometric. Bonus points for mental associations with a dark, Blade Runner-meets-Wipeout XL future.

Lummer:
I think I've mentioned Gojira before in this thread, but without any significant explanation.
First of all, the name is just plain awesome. Short, catchy and easily shouted. Their lyrics also deal with a lot of environmental (mother Earth having her revenge, Flying Whales, that sort of stuff), where Godzilla has some significance. Godzilla was created by nuclear testing, ie. Man's carelessness with Nature, and that naturally resulted in Tokyo being laid to waste around 60 times. Nuclear testing's a bitch, ain't it?!
But the final touch, is that their sound and riff style fit the name even better. When they get heavy, they really do sound like some gargantuan force of nature, stomping along.
Emperor is also a favorite, because they really sound that majestic.
Lise:
Dredg is a neat name for a band. So's Giant Drag (http://www.giantdrag.com/), IQU (pronounced e-cue), Aphex Twin, Kasabian, and Deftones.
As for the best band name I came up with, it would probably be "Defecate Solo." Usuable with permission. (heh)
PS. As for Japanese bands, I'd have to say Tokyo Jihen, L'arc~en~Ciel, and Dir en Grey have great names.
