The Daily Paragraph -- Rock Band Name Scoring

I'm an advocate for aesthetically pleasing band names, but it's hard to define exactly what the criteria are that define that. So here's an attempt at a scoring system that might make the rules a little clearer. Let's see how it goes.

1. Part of speech: 5 points for noun (1 bonus point for being plural), 3 points for adjective, 2 points for verb, 1 point for anything else. 
2. Number of syllables: 5 points for 3 or fewer syllables, 3 points 4 or 5 syllables, 1 point for 6 to 8 syllables, 0 points for 9 or more syllables (a "the" at the beginning of the band name doesn't count in the total)
3. Originality: 5 points if there is no other well-known band name similar to it, 3 points if there are one or two other bands with names somewhat similar, 0 points for unoriginal band names
4. Additional points:
1. Add 1 point for using one of the colors red, black, or white (using two colors does not add more points)
2. Add 2 points for alliteration or assonance
3. Add 3 points good use of rare consonants (q, k, z, v, j)
4. Add 5 points for coolness
5. Deductions:
1. Subtract 3 points for each of the following: pretentiousness, cutesiness (unless properly balanced edginess), and self-importance
2. Subtract three points for obnoxious/incorrect use of rare consonants
3. Subtract one point for puns and nonsense words (sorry Beatles, this means you)

Okay, let's see how this works out with some examples:

The Rolling Stones get a 21 (plural noun, 6 points; 3 syllables not including "the", 5 points; originality is hard to judge here, let's give them 3 points; 2 points for assonance; and 5 points for coolness; no deductions). Pretty good! Seems appropriate.

Imagine Dragons get a 3 (1 point for being an imperative sentence; 3 points for 5 syllables; I don't feel like the deserve any originality points; 2 points for assonance for the long a sounds; minus 3 points for unbalanced cutesiness). Maybe a little harsh, but I agree, Imagine Dragons is not a good band name.

Here are some more, just for kicks:
The White Stripes  -- 19 points
The Jam -- 21 points
Hootie and the Blowfish -- 7 points
Nickelback -- 10 points
The Red Hot Chili Peppers -- 10 points

Well, I dunno. I wish Nickelback got a lower score because the suck so bad, but maybe the band name itself isn't entirely to blame.

I think the system could use some tweaking, but it's a start.
