I used to be in a band (well a succession of bands actually). We always used to do shortlists of band names. Every single time I suggested:
The Luxury
The Wherewithal
Every time they made it on to the final shortlist, but we never picked them. Both of those in my opinion are awesome band names; neither IMO would suit a band who want to be like the Hip though.
BTW just about other names suggested in this thread have been complete and utter rubbish (apart from Kowalski, which (a) is a good name and (b) has now been done). All of the "Devine (sic) whatevers" are awful.

I suggested that name to someone before, but for some reason he didn't take it.

"All stations 2, this is 2, wilted artery, over."
"Wilted Artery," and most of the others, sounds like a coded instruction. Which isn't a good thing, considering that said instructions are made by selecting words at random from predefined lists of words.
To put not too fine a point on it, they still suck. Time to stop trying to come up with names by committee, or with a dictionary in hand.

I'm sorry to say that I think alot of the names HipFan1 comes up with tilt heavily towards being heavy metal/death metal names and they sound, well, really cheesy and fake. If it is a good sounding heavy metal/death metal band name you are looking for, I might suggest you delve more into Norse mythology or something along those lines.

If you look at some of the names bands that have become well known, they've chosen names that are symbols of something meaningful to them. Iron Maiden, for example, is derived from an medieval instrument of torture. One of my favorite bands, Queensryche, got their name from an article about Wagner's Ring Cycle and the lead female character in it (the name escapes me at the moment). The Lonely Moose idea sounds good, however I have a humble suggestion that popped into my head this morning. Since the guys in your band seem to treat the moose as a sort of icon, why not call the band Dashboard Icon?
