Oops, and another thing, I have thought of a song based on CSS' "CSS Suxxx" called "We Are The Boys From Seborga".
Although I might not decide on Boys From Seborga at the moment, I have put down various different logos for Boys From Seborga in my school planner, but my school doesn't care about the state of the planner, as long as the weeks we are at school don't get vandalised with phrases like "I HATE JESUS." (which I don't. Jesus rocks.)

I quite like the CCTV one as it seems urban.

Interstate 95 sounds good, even though people are probably sick of band names with numbers.

Oh, theyre a band. You pronounce it chk chk chk, which even that I dont know how to pronouce. Apparently they got it from some foriegn movie with subtitles, and whenever there was this sound going like "chk chk chk", the subtitles at the bottom would be "!!!". They're like dance-indie rock.

Lol, I was actually thinking of doing that.

But too many bands have !s now e.g. !!!, Kubichek!, Hadouken!, ¡Forward, Russia! etc.

Oh, and here are the reasons for the band names:

Boys From Seborga - I had heard of Seborga before on flags.net but I never knew where it was (it's in Italy). Hence, Boys From Seborga.

I Say Go, You Say CCTV! - As sad as this sounds, this came from a game on Habbo where when someone goes over a red doormat you shout "CCTV!" and try to trap them. My overuse of saying both led to my guarding partner to say: "i say go you say cctv". At the time, I thought it was a good band name and he agreed.

Interstate 95 - Came from an Uncyclopedia article about American Highways. Came with a good image for a logo too:
http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/f/f9/I95.PNG

The actual Interstate 95 runs down the east coast of North America, becoming Interstate 95 from the north at Connecticut and from the south at US Route 1 in Miami, Florida.

None of them! I can't believe you had to think long and hard to come up with those ideas. I really laughed at I say go, you say CCTV.
To be honest, they are really bad. The music might be good though...

I wouldnt be surprised if Interstate 95 is taken actually. Its a pretty famous highway.

Ok, well thanks for your insight.
What name would you say would fit a band who are influenced by the post-punk indie like The Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand and the like?

Oh, and these were actually just quick-thought names - it didn't take long at all to think of them.

Well, think about the band. Anything unique about them?

I've thought of using one of the Black Hand assassins as a band name too.

You could always steal song names or something from a movie. Thats what radiohead did. Or like for my myspace music, I took my name from a Foo Fighters song.

Yeah Stiff Little Fingers got their name from a Vibrators song. Plus the Black Hand idea is pretty cool, any sort of wartime 20th century stuff can make you seem more smart than you really are.

I like the 20th century history ideas. Major events like the moon landing or others might work. Or as above posters said, lines from films.

CCTV is basically the British term for Security Cameras.
