I'd have to seriously argue against Exploding Bacon being one of the silliest names in FIRST... In fact, the combination of the expressive-yet-very-serious "exploding" and the tempering and flair of "bacon" seems pretty common (in general and on the funniness scale) to me, but ok. Love 'em anyway.
Now, if they'd been called "floppy pork bottom"...

In general, I think such STEM/serious + unique/flair compounding can definitely make your name memorable: Exploding Bacon, Thunder Chickens, Tactical Sheep, Environmental Tectonics Crusaders, Incredible Hawks, Mighty Monkey Wrenches. It also can't hurt to think about your full team "brand": what name might work well with a logo, motto ("OINK OINK--"), etc. You can also do this afterwards to great success, though.
