Name ideas for 90s rock covers band

Whatever you come up with, 'don't' call your band 'Midlife crisis' !
Geez, I played in a band doing similar grungy cool songs, but soo many people came up to me laughing about our name! And people were not even going to come to our gigs because when they saw the name thought we were just oldies playing boring stuff!
Needless to say that bringing that up with my band leader was a sore point, as he came up with the name and thought it was a cool play on words!!
I just found it plain embarrassing when friends would ask what my band was called.

I'm in a 90s rock covers band that hasn't gigged yet but will shortly be ready to. Our set list contains mainly British and North American upbeat rock covers, from the likes of REM, Reef, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Cranberries, Alanis Morrisette, Skunk Anansie, Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis, Blur, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Republica, Elastica, Alice in Chains, Lenny Kravitz, Suede and some others.

We haven't agreed on a name and I am totally lacking in inspiration. The guitarist wants to call the band 'The Coverheads' but I'm not keen on having the word 'covers' in the name.

Any ideas people?

A friend of mine used to look at the names from the horse races. Some great ideas there !
