I wouldn't worry about it, most people don't take offense to band names anyway and those who do seriously need to lighten up. After all its not like the band name is taking a shot at Dyslexic people.

Always think it helps when band names give an accurate idea of what a band might sound like.

| | | | One of the bands I'm working on is called "Musically Inclined to Impregnate Your Daughter". I think an offensive band name is nothing for you to worry about.
