You don't even have to like their music, but you think their name is the coolest.

I'll start:

- The The

- Was Not Was

- Faith No More

- Alice In Chains

Now you.

    Awesome question.

    Cradle of Filth

    I mean, that's so sinister and wicked. It sounds like an archaic expression or something for anything that's supposed to be glorious, but is in fact a cesspool. I could see like an ancient emperor or something describing a rival nation and their people as coming from a 'cradle of filth'. I dunno...I've always loved that name. The band? Eh, they're okay. I at least appreciate that they're British. American goth seems so insincere. 

    Eisbrecher

    German for 'icebreaker' (as in the ships that sail to the arctic and use their bows to crush through ice). I love ships, so that's right up my alley.

    Nocturnus

    Pavor Nocturnus is the Latin term for night terrors. PERFECT.

    Savage Garden

    I guess it comes from an Anne Rice book. Awesome name, and very darkly romantic.

    Bathory

    It obviously comes from Elizabeth Bathory, who is cool by herself. 

    Fear Factory

    Just a great name. The music sounds exactly like you'd imagine it would.

    Lacrimosa

    Latin for 'weeping' and the name of a hymn. Outstanding.

    Chvrches

    I have no idea why such a simple name is so effective, but I love it. 

    Versailles

    Simple, but so effective. 

    Opeth

    The name is okay, but the logo is the best part.
