This isn't the weirdest band name to any stretch (because as long as grindcore exists, there will be weird and stupid band names), but I did find it weird and funny when I first saw the band name: Stolen Babies. They're not on here but they certainly do have progressive/avant-garde leanings, and their drummer used to drum for a tech metal favorite on here: The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Would you like some Bailey's?

Blodwyn is a traditional Welsh boys name. The band name apparently was thought up by some stoned mate of Mick Abrahams in 1969 just after Abrahams left Jethro Tull.As a name its probably about as meaningfull as Pink Floyd.
Thank you.

Don't know if it's the weirdest, but Smegma has to be one of the most disgusting.

Only partially weird because of the original notion's scientific pretentions, but made much weirder because of its infamous mizpelling: VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR

While we are on the subject of names - Can anyone tell me what "La" means in La Dusseldorf? 
 
It's not  German word.
 
So, do I file this band under "L" or "D"? If "La" is French for "the", I will file it under "D" but if it means something else I will file it under "L" as they do in Prog Archives.

Not exactly prog but bordering on it would be Fad Gadget (Daniel Miller).

Artist names, I'm not sure...album names, I think my favorite weird one is Haino Keiji/Yoshida Tatsuya's album Uhrfasudhasdd.

Never heard of any of those but I'm not a metal fan in particular either.  And only one of those didn't survive the autobleeper.

I'll vote for Super Heavy Goat Ass out of those. Tongue

Some of these band names could use some goat in them though:
Goat Sperm of Antichrist
Syphilitic Goat Vaginas

I also thing some Spams thrown in would be good.
