There was, and probably still is, a very good Austin band called Those Peabodys.

I love the Flaming Lips, but that is a dumb name...
I like the following bands, and their names are just fine:
Polvo
Slint
Bottomless Pit
Shellac
These all seem fine.
I agree that Brainiac is iffy. I'm on the fence about the name.

I have never liked the name "Built To Spill".
I have never really liked "Jane's Addiction" even though I am an age-old fan.
I have thoroughly loathed the name "Inspiral Carpets" but they are so-so musically.

I agree with this.
Groove Armada are another "band" whose music I haven't heard and whose name I hate.

Squirrel Bait
Modest Mouse (not a "good" band, but Lonesome Crowded... and Long Drive.. were good albums)
That's all I can really think of.

What's wrong with any of those names?

Considering the music they play, it's not bad.
