i would say "The Beatles" :)

but how about "green day" that is some slang term for spending a day smoking marijuana. lol
or
"Nirvana" it would mean the perfect peace of the mind that is free from craving, anger, and other afflicted states
or
R.E.M (rapid eye movement) phase of sleep
or
UB40 (unemployment form called Unemployment Benefit, Form 40)

I wonder sometimes what it takes to get these names.... o_O

In the 80s there was a punk rock band called the Feederz. Their lead singer was named Frank Discussion. I always thought that was the coolest name ever for a guy.
