You and everyone else. it is a bit long andf controversial, me a band talkred about but in the end we dont give a fuck about what other people think of usKajt said:
Flying Mongolian Cluster Fucks sound like a homoerotic street performance.
When I hear that name, I imagine something like this, but with about 5 contestants all grabbing each other and hanging from a trapeze above a Mardi Gras.
If you do go with that name, be sure to double check every booking to make sure they know you're a heavy metal band and not performance artists.

As SO RANDUM XD as that fifth name is, it is equally terrible. Try coming up with a name that means something to you and your bandmates instead of something that sounds cool or funny. You claim to not give a fuck about what people think of you, but your list consists of four stereotypical metal names and one joke name. Try some originality.
Naming bands is lots of fun. My first band 'Bob Couldn't Swim' got the name playing Worms Armageddon. We were a terrible generic punk-rock band. I'm in a prog-rock/punk/metal band called Doctor Nut at the moment. I'm not an original member so I never had a say on the name which isn't amazing. As soon as I can get the rest of the line up I'm starting a ska-punk band called 'Whacking Day' mainly just because I love that name... and ska-punk.
But yeah, enough about me. The good thing about your list of names is it has an example of each 'type' of metal band name.
1. Something I don't understand.
2. Two unrelated words mashed into a band name.
3. Minimalistic and kinda generic.
4. Minimalistic but kinda cool.
5. Long and ridiculous for the sake of long and ridiculous.
Out of the five, I'm gonna say Frozen Hell is the coolest name but... It needs more thought.

Man.. These names are all really, really bad.
The first few are painfully generic, like.. Dragonforce tribute band generic, and the last one, as hilarious as it may be, will only get you laughed at and taken as a joke. The only reason people will turn up to your shows is to see the band with the funny name. This is fine if you just want to sell tickets and make cash, but if you want people to hear you, it's horrible.
I wouldn't worry about band names untill you have a gig booked, and when it comes to it the less you think about the name the less your fans will, which means they will spend more time listening to your music.
