To be honest, I've always felt that Metallica is a pretty dumb name in and of itself. Just sayin'.

Band names are a tricky thing because you want it to help identify your band, but then you run the risk of pigeon holing yourself. You want to be unique, but not too unique.
Given some of the weird @$$ names people have for bands that are on the radio making money, I can't really say any name is completely off the table. I suppose if people like your music enough the name is no longer a defining characteristic, your fans think of the music not the words.

Now wait for it.

We are now Panic Picnic, in my opinion a huge improvement.

Holy hell, Grouchy Butts is my new band name. Gonna call the lads right now and break the news to them. Their dismay at being called at 3:00am will more than fit the new direction we're taking....Butt Rock.
Careful; as bass player, you'll be known as the resident butt-slapper...

Godica...... That sounds like the name of a Rob Zombie album or song.

From an interview with Dave Grohl.

Q: So <Foo Fighters were> supposed to be a one off?
Dave: Yeah, but then it all snowballed and turned into a band. If I had known that we would be here 10 years later talking about a double album to cduk.com then I would have a) spent more time on the first album and b) not called it something like the Foo Fighters! Such a stupid name, but we’re stuck with it!

Try something like this random band name generator: http://www.bandnamemaker.com/

Enter a word or two that you guys like and keep hitting refresh until something you all like pops up.

Works like a charm! How can you not love "Shrapnel Vulture"?!

but seriously Godica is not a bad name. I'd try spelling it differently though. Godika, or Goddica.

if worse come to worse think of an inside joke or something and name it after that.
My new band is called Klondike Jack because our singer used to eat Klondike bars with Jack Daniel's poured inside of it.
