character" but I can't see anything for band names or

If what you're looking for is not stand-ins for real places, but just a generic place for your characters to be in, look at how real company names, real hotel names, real band names etc. are formed.

Companies often have a name formed around the product they sell (such as Toys-R-Us) or the founders' names (for example Marks&Spencer). You can create a fictional company that follows the same pattern.

Hotels often incorporate into their name some local feature or historical figure, and/or something that suggests rest/luxury.

A name for a band, as @hszmv mentions, can be anything really.

Now that you've come up with a name, run a google search, make sure nobody has thought up the same name before you. If the name is already taken, tweak yours. If it's free, you're good to go.
