Names -> Stupid Band Names -> L

These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.

Submitted by:
L'Trimm What is this name supposed to mean? It isn't the name of either woman in this duo. And the spelling would be hard for anyone who hears the name but hasn't seen the spelling. Candy Welty
L7 I know they probably liked that the name more or less looks the same upside-down as it does right-side-up. The trouble is that, as far as I know, L7 DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. It's not even a position on a Battleship board. Jonathan S.
Lady Antebellum It's a trio, not a single person, which may confuse people since the main singer of this group is female. Jonathan S.
Lady GaGa Hello? The name sounds like a porn star in the Teletubbies' world. Rachel
Lady Gaga GaGa can refer to a child's baby language but more often is a synonym for "crazy" or "silly". So Lady Gaga comes off as either Crazy Lady or Silly Lady! Robert D. Arndt Jr.
Lamb of God They name themselves after the Son of Christ, yet they are against Christ. Does this make sense to you? Travis
Lamb Of God As if it isn't bad enough that they're egotistical enough to name themselves after Christ, they also happen to be a DEATH METAL band, so you know they have no use for religion whatsoever (except to poke fun at it.) Why name yourself after The Son Of God if you're against him in first place? Jonathan S.
The Larks The name itself isn't stupid, but the stupid part is that a second group decided to call themselves The Larks and had a hit called "The Jerk" in 1964, three years after another group called The Larks had hit the charts with "It's Unbelievable." Candy Welty
Las Ketchup Condiments are not a good idea for band names. Salt-N-Pepa, Relish, and now this? Come on! Random Madeupperson
Last Crack Running out of drugs? No, sounds more like ass crack. Chris
Laurie London The name suggests a female performer, but Laurie London is a male singer. Could this be a gender-bender name? Candy Welty
Lavender Hill Mob Why does a lavender hill need a mob? Better yet, who cares? CERULEAN
Lawnmower Deth Because they spelled the second word phonetically (i.e., left out the 'a'), no one will spell the name correctly without first seeing it in print. The name is also stupid because it implies getting killed by a lawnmower, which is kinda sad. Makes me wonder what they were thinking.??? Mr. Critic
Lawnmower Deth The thrash metal world's answer to Half Man Half Biscuit just had to have a sillier name I guess Chris
Lazy I wonder if they were too lazy to think up a good name. Mac
Lazy Racer This name is an oxymoron. Racers aren't lazy. Candy Welty
LeAnn Rimes We'll forget the stupid spelling, but what exactly does LeAnn rhyme with? Gazza
Leapy Lee Some people who have heard his name but haven't seen it in print might think that it is Lee P. Lee. That's what I first thought it was! Does he leap onstage? Candy Welty
Leather Nun Never knew they made Nun's Habits in Leather... Rychendroll
Lee Oskar Most people will spell his last name as Oscar if they hear it but haven't seen it in print. Candy Welty
The Left Banke Banke isn't a word. Why not Bank? Candy Welty
Leftover Salmon Apparently people have had enough of them, otherwise, why would there be leftovers? Overon
The Lemon Pipers Has anybody even attempted to blow into a lemon like it was a musical instrument? Gives a new meaning to "the musical fruit". Yul B. There
The Lemon Pipers Do they deliver lemon juice by way of pipes? Because lemons certainly can't pipe (as in play any kind of musical pipes). Angelina Laide
The Lemon Pipers  I think they were all stoned when they came up with this one  Billy Florio
Less Than Jake Less WHAT than Jake? Jonathan S.
Let's Active It doesn't work at all as a complete sentence or a coherent phrase. What makes them think it would work as a band name? Todd W. Zimmerman
Level 42 Is this how far they got on a certain video game? If so, I wonder which game it was?? Elizabeth
Li'l Kim Why just Li'l Kim? Why not Obsc'ne Kim? Or Logom'niac Kim? How aboud Li'l Obsc'ne Logom'niac Kim? Laura
Life Of Agony They must've had a really bad childhood or something. Jon
Life of Agony Oh...it can't be that bad when you're a bunch of sexy rockboys... anushead
Lifehouse What IS a Lifehouse? Is it where dead people put the living??? Does it warn people in the dark who have no life? (Like a lighthouse?)  Cerulean
Lifehouse Sounds like a hospital or a redneck mental institute. Emily
Lighthouse Family They're not a family of lighthouses (which would be silly), and their surname is not Lighthouse. Cassandra
The Lightning Seeds This name makes no sense. Lightning doesn't produce seeds, and it doesn't come from seeds. Candy Welty
Lil Romeo/Lil Bow Wow as opposed to....Big Ol' Romeo and Big Ol' Bow Wow? WAS there even another guy with that name? cuz I can see no other reason they'd just say they were the younger version of....um....whoever it is. Mac
Lil' Bow Wow I'd only name myself that if I was the son of one of the members of new-wave band Bow Wow Wow or of Snoop Dogg. This guy, however, is none of the above. Stockton
Limp Bizkit If your singer has the charisma of a not-so-tasty-looking, mass-produced and rather passive cookie, this is the name of choice for your band! Fred Smith
Limp Bizkit Think about it. A limp biscuit? What kind of band name is that?! Rebecca
Limp Bizkit That "Hey, let's spell it like it sounds!" thing is so over used, not to mention just plain annoying. And what exactly is a 'Bizkit' anyway? If that is reference to an erection-challenged penis, are they admitting to having that problem? I just don't get it! roxy
Limp Bizkit Just read it! It sounds like they're trying to explain their E.D. problem in a subtle, inconspicuous way. NO band name, let alone any name, should have the word 'limp' in it. Can we say 'too much information'? Alan
Linkin Park Why do they use Russian letters (those reversed 'N's) in the name 'Linkin'? Pronounced correctly, their name would be 'Licky Park'! Auditor
Linkin Park Actually, the band name isn't stupid but it is a cheap band name . The band decided on "Linkin Park" so they would be next to "Limp Bizkit" in record stores and in other places. This cheap because they are gaining popularity and album sells through being next to an already successful band. Nick
Linkin Park It reminds me of a mix between Lincoln Logs & Tinker Toys. Put them together and you have one "contrabulous fabtraption!" Cerulean
Linkin Park They aren't stupid, but the name just makes me think of Lincoln Logs, spelled incorrectly. Linkin Log Cabin! Ha! S.T.G.
Lipps, Inc. They sound like they use synthesizers instead of lips for vocals... and why the incorrect spelling of "Lips"? Rychendroll
Liquid Gold They wouldn't be able record anything. Gold has such a high melting point (over 1900 degrees Fahrenheit / 1050 degrees Celsius) that liquid gold would burn up the microphone. Alicia Sturdivant
Liquid People People are solid, not liquid (although our bodies do have blood and other liquids in them). Candy Welty
Lisa-Lisa and Cult Jam with Full Force It sounds like a military exercise at a teenage-girl slumber party. uhnoi
Lita Ford Only needs a number and it sounds like a car Chris
The Little Bits Little bits of what? Music? Candy Welty
Little Sister This name implies that it's one person, but it's actually a female trio. And they're all adults, so they aren't little. Candy Welty
The Little Willies They're all adults, so they aren't little. And none of the five members of this band are named Willie. Candy Welty
Live When I search for them on Napster, it just gives me mp3s of bands that are playing live. How much does that suck?? PhoenixPyre
Live Think about it. The announcer says "Ladies and gentlemen! Live tonight from the United States of America it's LIVE!". As in WHO is live? Live Live? Would their live album be called LIVE Live? So confusing! I've heard similar jokes about concerning the Who's name but they are called "THE Who", not just "Who". Naming your band "Live" makes things even worse. It was confusing to me when I first heard them on the radio. Dumb, dumb, dumb. The Seer
Living With Eating Disorders When I first saw the name in print, I mistook it for "Living With Eating Dinosaurs"! That could make almost as much sense as the actual name. In fact, my mistaken version is more interesting and intriguing, and less morbid. I was really disappointed when I noticed what the name actually is! Lauren Overstreet
Living With Eating Disorders Yes. This is a real band. Why would they call themselves that? Are any of the members possibly on the feeding tube? hekifier
LMFAO It's a popular internet acronym. But now a band has picked it up for use as their name, which I think is ridiculous, especially since the "F" stands for something naughty. Nice going, guys! Mr. Critic
LMNT It looks like a lame attempt to refer to the acronym for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The Skuz
LMNT It's supposed to be "element" without the letter E's, but some people might look at this name and think that the letters L, M, N, and T should each stand for something...like the members' names. But that's not the case. Cassandra
Lola Ray Another band name that sounds/looks like it could clearly be an individual performer, since it consists of a first name and a last name. But it's not... it's a group. (More than 1 person!) Also, Lola is a girls name, but all the members are male, so it doesn't make sense in that regard either! Mouse
Lollipop Lust Kill Oh come on, what the heck is that supposed to mean? To me it seems like they just randomly threw three unrelated words together. Dobbs
The Lonely Island It's a trio, so no member is "lonely". carly_carlz
Loose Nuts Who would want to admit to being loose nuts? It sounds gross. Rocky Rhodes
The Lords Of Acid What this named after a cult that worships Rolaids? electric
Los Indios Tabajaras This band had a few hits in English-speaking countries in the 1960s. But people who don't know Spanish probably will not spell this name correctly if they hear it but haven't seen it in print. Candy Welty
Los Lonely Boys English or Spanish, please. brainstem
Los Pop Tops Another band with Spanish and English words in their name, like Los Lonely Boys. Why not all Spanish or all English? Candy Welty
Lost Hands Found Fingers This name sounds really ugly and creepy to me. I envision someone losing their hands by having them cut off, then finding their fingers after they had been cut off of the hands! Candy Welty
Louis XIV Never name a band after a historical figure, especially a French king! hamp
Love And Rockets Two things that don't go together...unless you have a passion for space exploration or something like that. Why do so many bands have to randomly pick a pair of unrelated items to use for their names? Hank E. Panky
Love Equals Death Nice job at luring people away from those annoying love songs! I think this group over-did it just a bit! hekifier
The Love Hammers If it were just "The Hammers," I wouldn't have much of a problem with it, but "LOVE Hammers?!" Sounds to me like another penile reference! Jonathan S.
Love Spit Love The words "spit" and "love" do not go together; it sounds rather disgusting. Mr. Critic
The Lovers The name itself isn't stupid, but what *is* stupid is that a second band decided to call themselves The Lovers after there had already been a band called The Lovers who had a hit song "Darling It's Wonderful" in 1957. The second Lovers band had a hit called "Discomania" in 1977. Candy Welty
Low Cut Connie This name suggests a solo female performer, but it's a band, which actually consists of four men (and no women). Candy Welty
Lubricated Goat Have you ever tried to lubricate a goat? It's just not possible with today's lubrication technology. As such it is impossible that a goat could have ever been lubricated in the past. Unless Australia have pre-lubed goats, of course. Mr Mud
Ludacris The rappers are just about copying each other now. This name JUST DOES NOT WORK! I know many rappers misspell, say, their stage names deliberately but this is not right! Why couldn't he replace the 'a' with an 'i' (so that it spells the "Ludi"(crous) bit correctly) and add a 'h' to the "Chris" bit? A Stranger
Ludacris/Mystikal/Outkast Since when did misspelling a word become a rap trend? The Desert of the Real
Ludo (Famous for "Love Me Dead") Did they unabashedly rip off their name from the beast-like character from Jim Henson's movie, "Labyrinth"? (FYI, I have no beef against the film or its characters, just the dopey band.) Jonathan S.
Luniz It's pronounced "loonies", which makes me wonder why they didn't spell it appropriately. But what do you expect from rap groups anyway? Also, the name makes me think of certain classic cartoons. John
Lush Why name a band something that people will confuse with a mediocre group like Rush? That's probably why they broke up. shehateme
The Ly-Dells Almost no one who hears this name but hasn't seen it in print will spell it correctly, especially since it has a dash in it. Candy Welty
Lyme & Cybelle Nearly all people who hear this name but haven't seen it in print will not spell it correctly. Candy Welty
Lynyrd Skynyrd Who can pronounce it anyway? Emma

Submissions Are Accepted Again

Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.

So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.

If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
