Goo Goo Dolls (bad) were called The Sex Maggots (very very good).
I should be a band manager, some of these people are making very bad name decisions

The lineup initially featured Liz McClarnon, Kerry Katona, and Heidi Range, but did not have a name. In her autobiography Too Much, Too Young: My Story of Love, Survival and Celebrity , Katona mentions that they pondered names such as Exit and Honeyheads, before settling on Automatic Kitten, which was the title of a fashion label owned by a clothing designer called Mary Lamb.[9] When Katona went home to tell her mother all about the band, her mother’s friend “Bob the Leg” was there. He was unable to pronounce “Automatic Kitten” and kept saying “Atomic Kitten”. Katona liked the name and told her bandmates about it—they all felt the same way and the name stuck.

Barry Jive and the Uptown Five used to be Sonic Death Monkey and may or may not have changed it to Kathleen Turner Overdrive.
