Or better yet I think, "Cats Welcome". Like the signs that apartment complexes put out by the street when they have vacancies and will allow kitties. That would make a fabulous band name.

I actually have one of those signs in my window right now. A big sign that says "Cats Welcome!" It confuses people. To me, it just means that I would welcome the presence of a cat.

Or "Trolls Under The Bridge" All band names are ridiculous until you make them cool. I mean, consider "The Beatles." That's a really really dumb-sounding name. But they made it cool. Same thing with "Radiohead". The list goes on. Take any successful band, and try to separate the name from the band itself and suddenly the name sounds really ridiculous. Most of the ones in the OP's original post are a little too generic. I mean, "Deep Roots" and "CityScape" sound like names for generic XM radio channels or something. A good name should be unique and memorable... which is coincidentally exactly why all proper band names sound completely dumb and ridiculous at first. They don't need to have a story, or have any real personal or musical relevance to your band. It just needs to sound dumb at first.

"Porcupine Tree".
