I'm a musician and I have friends in about six different bands. Let me give you a very important clue which, in my opinion, outweighs everything else.
You want people to be able to Google you!
One of my friends is in a country-western band called the Twangmasters. Boy is that easy to find. Country and western bands seem to understand. Another one is named the Dixie Prix.
But the rock and roll bands? Clueless. One calls itself Due Process, a very common legal term. Nobody will ever find their website or any references to them in the press. Another named itself Quasimodo after the Hunchback of Notre Dame--one of the western world's best known literary characters. Hopeless! Then there are the Sparkplugs. What are these guys thinking???
Not all of them are this slow. Five Too Many and The Reagan Years are both fairly easy to Google, although they may not show up in the first hit.
There is a convention growing that your website is your band name concatenated to the word "band." Anyone who knows that can find warehouseband.com, but what about the much larger group of people who don't know that?
So my suggestion is this: After you pick a name tentatively, see if somebody has already got your domain name .com. If not, then Google it and see if the hits that turn up on the first page would overshadow your band.
But my real suggestion is this: Keep coming up with names until you Google it and get no hits at all.
Your fans' ability to find you on the web is far more important than their initial reaction to your cute name that is shared by a hundred other organizations or is a common cliche.
I have a friend who got a law degree in his late 30s and in celebration changed his name to that of one of the most famous Chief Justices of the United States Supreme Court. Poor guy. In his defense, there was no internet in those days so he could not have foreseen the problem. I notice that somewhere along the way he changed his middle initial.
