I do have a music project and it's called puredish. I have been thinking a lot about band names before that and a few were pretty good. It all depends on the mood or message you want to convey. Sometimes it's not a concrete message but more a type of word that transmits a certain feel.
Trent Reznor said in an interview: "I don't know if you've ever tried to think of band names, but usually you think you have a great one and you look at it the next day and it's stupid. I had about 200 of those. Nine Inch Nails lasted the two week test, looked great in print, and could be abbreviated easily. It really doesn't have any literal meaning. It seemed kind of frightening. [In his best he-man voice] Tough and manly! It's a curse trying to come up with band names."
With a completely trite answer to boot. But wow, I really love that quote. It about sums up the experience I've had with coming up with a name for anything.

Doh... I just noticed this is not your question but you quoted it.
