Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.
Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?
Perhaps tried to and then realised
Incorrect. It's understandable because we all make mistakes. But the assignment was "worst band name ever", not "best band name ever". When you're older you'll understand why he did it

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. Such a pain in the arse when you have to refer to them.
Do you just say "seven pigs" or "Pigs 7"? Or do you literally say "pigs" seven times?
Are there seven of them?
(Looked it up, there are five of them and they abbreviate it to "Pigs x7".)

Butthole Surfers have not been mentioned yet?
Yeah, the title of the thread is worst names ever. That's on an orthogonal axis with most likely to make an 11 year old boy giggle

Imagine Dragons
No, Imagine Dragons is kind of cool... if you believe them when they say it's not their real band name. They originally came up with a phrase that meant something special to all of them, but they didn't think it would work as a band name, so they anagrammed it into Imagine Dragons (I assume some letters were reused or left off somehow). So there's this big mystery over what their real name is.
And that kind of plays into some dragon lore where if you know a dragon's true name, you have control over it. You don't know Imagine Dragons' true name β no one does. Perfectly acceptable if you think a band having a secret name is lame. They've said at some point they may reveal it, but they're afraid people will be disappointing, because as they originally said, it wouldn't make for a cool name.
Hoobastank
The band ΓΆOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy.
Supposedly pronounced as "caterpillar" in whatever language you prefer.
IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential
!!! (Chk Chk Chk)
I love them as a band and the name makes sense once you know what it's representing, but it's terrible for searching or recommending to people.
Nickelback
To be completely honest, I don't consider any name to be bad.Β
You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan's suggestion claiming that "escape staircase" suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes.
In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don't consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture.
Come on, let musicians have some fun.

Intentionally bad or unintentionally bad?
I'm reconsidering if it is actually a terrible name for a band. I saw Piss Bath supporting Dead Kennedys a couple of years ago. It's probably the only support band name I've remembered, so in that respect it's quite effective.
It's probably one of those ironic names, but Psychedelic Porn Crumpets always makes me die a little when I'm trying to tell people about 'em. Great band, dumb name.
I think it is a bit funny to see this question, I was in a thread just now finding out there is a band named Xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx And apparently is it a abbreviation for "Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated by Mass Amounts of Filthy Fecal Fisting and Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside the Infected Maggot Infested Womb of a Molested Nun Dying Under the Roof of a Burning Church While a Priest Watches and Ejaculates in Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus",
