I like them but 'Little Mix' is just absolutely awful. Most names make some sort of sense, but it just doesn't make any sense or have any meaning whatsoever.
It's like they flicked through a dictionary blindfolded and picked out the first two random letters their finger fell upon and put them together.

Their previous name was Rhythmix and I think they wanted to carry on with the idea of having their fans called 'Mixers'. Rhythmix being a charity's name too, they had to change it while retaining the mix bit, hence the Mix in their name. However, I have no idea why they chose Little...maybe because of Tulisa calling them her 'little muffins'? Don't know how ideas come about in artists' heads.
X Factor groups, if they count, nearly always have awful names:
Bad Lashes
Kandy Rain
Girlband
Addictiv Ladies
4Tune
Voices With Soul
2 To Go
The Unconventionals
Futureproof
Miss Frank
Belle Amie
Diva Fever
Nu Vibe
2 Shoes
District 3
Union J
Spotted punk band The C**ts in a festival flyer last year. Probably not the best name if you want to make it in the music business (which they probably don't).
I like some of the names mentioned: Butthole Surfers, Throbbing Gristle, Half Man Half Biscuit and the various incarnations of Foetus: You've Got Foetus On You Breath, Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel, Foetus Over 'Frisco etc.

Yes indeed. I dislike the band's name almost as much as I dislike their music!
I always wonder if they'd have been much bigger than they were if they'd had a name that was less associated with Dorothy.

Wooden Shjips - that's not a typo, the "j" is meant to be there.
I remember someone telling me about a local group back in the day called Johnny Hates Johnny Hates Jazz.
Muse and Coldplay have always annoyed me, almost as much as their music.

Seeing that reminded me of that band Peter Jones invested in on Dragon's Den years ago... called Hamfatter
or Foetus
Probably
It represents a Windows keyboard shortcut. It doesn't work on Macs
Should be called One Dimension or Wand Erection
Drahdiwaberl (turn around girl), Falco played there once.
Her real name is Marina Diamandis. It's just a version of her birth name as a stage name. Diamandis meaning 'Diamonds' in Greek.
Harry Styles did:D:D
I think the worst group name is Bananarama.
