Swans-according to an interview with Gira, they came up with the name because swans, despite being beautiful, "are hateful creatures", which fit.

the Meat Puppets-the story according to the band members is that they took the name from one of their early songs.
the Gun Club-Jeffrey Pierce got the name from Kieth Morris while they were hanging out one day. Apparently Morris got the name for the Circle Jerks from Pierce this same day.
Sisters of Mercy-Leonard Cohen song (but there is another story)
