hmm pop with rock cheerful music? if so i think you must convey a somewhat funny name hmm like
naked in the attic
attic band
song in the attic
pop rocks
and so many more but i think the best name is what your band's trying to do to achieve.

We faced the same situation when we were in college. It was really hard to think of what band name to adopt. It is like a branding project, choosing a good brand name for a product that is soon to be launched out in the market. It is also like choosing a good domain name for a website.
You said you love the word "attic" so much, then why not go for it? Attic Boys.

Well as far as i think your band name should be based on something that describes every member of your band.So it should better be spontaneous and something that you thought and it should not be based on views of some guys over an internet forum.But still if you want some help with the name,looking at the nature of music of your band i'd suggest something like "Rock inside the grave" or "ROCK with retarded pop"or "Beats with drums and guitars" something that can explain that you are fusing rock with pop.
In my case i was just sitting with my bandmates,trying to make some music but nothing was going our way.Drummer was screwed up,our lead singer was think of nothing but songs which seems to be good enough for only some bleeding heart,i was sucking with my guitar.After trying for almost weeks we all gave up hope and were sitting with our sad faces hanging around.Just then i said,"Leave it guys! We can't do nothing.We are nothing but a bunch of retards.And just then it popped into my mind that it'd be a really cool name for a came.I presented the idea to my mates and that was how we decided our band name."Bunch of retards"
In my opinion you should also try something like that.
Best of luck buddy
