My preferred method is pretty simple, albeit time consuming. I basically walk around with a pad of paper and write down cool words of phrases that have meaning to me. Then i take that list to my fellow band members and see what they have, and we'll vote on on something, usually a combination of names so everyone can feel special! I like to compile possible band names even when i'm actively playing in a band because hey, we may decide that our current name sucks. I'm also very strange. Here are some I've got going on now:

Interroblast - this is a punctuation mark, combination question mark and exclamation mark, equivalent to "!?" or "?!"

Death Therapy - From "What about Bob," when Dr. Marvin tries to kill Bob as part of his therapy.

1942 - the year of the first recorded use of a certain popular word for oral sex.

Half Glass Full - A favorite Bushism of mine.

Suspension of Disbelief - The quality required for a piece of art to be good. Not my favorite.

Last In Line For Everything - More of an album title

Triboelectric - The buildup of electrons by two things rubbing together. Think static electicity.
