Names -> Cool Band Names -> A, Page 2
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.
Entries starting with A are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6

| After-Life Mints | From Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life, just before the greatest musical number ever, It's Always Christmas In Heaven. | Chris | ||
| Afterlife | It's cool because it's like if your band died, it would come back better and more hardcore. | Td 54 | ||
| Aftershock | (This name is Taken) I thought of it, when I was watching the news and this big earthquake happened, and the aftershock was even worse! | why? | ||
| Aftertaste | They would play songs that you just can't get out of your head... | Damien Bloodlust | ||
| Afterthought | Our band writes song's about our ex's, and well, our after thoughts of the relationship. | Kristen | ||
| Against Gravity | The Ultimate Rebel Stance. Maximum Vertical Offensive. Push Up. Raptured! Floating in Aire. Impossibility. | Gary Gray | ||

| The Aidos | cuz its cool... | Rusty | ||
| Aimless Affection | Affection, that word means really nothing to me, and aimless, well its just not a word used every day, i put them 2 togather then BOOM! a name | India | ||
| Ain't Afraid To Kyo | There's this song by a band called Dir en Grey. They made a song called "Ain't Afraid to Die". Die is the name of the guitarist in the band, so I changed it to Ain't Afraid To Kyo. (Kyo is the lead singer). This works in 2 ways: 1)Kyo sounds like 'go' 2) In Japanese, it can be seen as "not afraid of loving Kyo", which would make a great name for a Dir en Grey tribute band! | Kyo Lord XVII | ||
| Airhead Technology | Thinking about my old girlfriend while watching the Discovery Channel. Sorry she was a airhead...but the name sounds cool. | Bobby Blue | ||
| Airotica | I think it so SEXY, made from the word erotic | Cat | ||

| Aixel Syd | Aixelsyd is Dyslexia backwards, It seems like it should be a heavy metal band. | Jimmy Lee | ||
| Aixelsyd | It's how a dyslexic person would say dyslexia. I think it would be a punk band name. | phamilto | ||
| AKA | Everyone says "AKA" for "Also Known As". Keep the fans guessing -also known as-what? | Mark Silverman | ||
| AKA*Blonde | Good for a girl rock band... if your all blonde and it sounds cool. | Katie | ||
| Akeldama | we came up with this name....because we are a christian band...post metal hardcore...and its a place in the bible....a field of blood..it means..we deserve the same fate as everyone elese...and its way better than anyone eleses name...pronounced ahkhel-dahama | josh | ||
| Akeldama | It means field of blood | MutualR3sp3st | ||
| Aksis | Pronounce it axis. It looks cooler and is a pretty tight bandname. at least to me. | Chris Skirmont | ||
| The Al Gore Rhythms | Failing a presidential bid in the year 2000. Al starts a lounge act with a few former algebra professors. Songs by The Dead Kennedy's, Mojo Nixon, Bush and Presidents of the United States of America. | Fitz | ||
| Al Jazz Era | Cos it rhymes with my name, and it's and Al Jazeera never stops getting metioned in the news. | Alfie Jasmine | ||
| Alabaster Phantoms | Walking through a souvenir shop I saw a display of statuettes: Granite, Limestone, Alabaster - thought that could be used. Poster advertising Phantom of the Opera outside, tried it with the rocks, Alabaster sounded best. | Sam Swift | ||
| Albatross | I was watching a movie and the ship was called Albatross it sounded cool so yea Albatross | bumdoodle | ||
| Albatross | This is an awesome classic rock band name that me and my buddies came up with | Wood | ||
| Albert's Fantastic Journey | This is the name of my brother's band. The bassist Kurt's dog is named Albert and he is a sweet dog so they decided on Albert's Fantastic Journey. The original band name was Electric Shoe, so I think this is an improvement. | Maggie | ||
| Albino Black Sheep | It's cool because it makes no sense. It's off a website I found. | billy | ||
| Albino Cat In A Snow Storm | My friend gave me a blank piece of paper and said it was an albino cat in a snow storm, and I found it hilarious. | Lisha | ||
| Albino Pachuco | Could be a bunch of white guys posing as latino thugz in zoot suits or a bunch of white guys in t-shirts and head bandanas wearing low baggy pants and if they got a bunch of tatoos of the vigin Mary and the word "Jesus" and always end each sentence with the words "ay" or "ese". | Badboybear | ||
| The Albino Worms | I once had a dream that my dark purple inflatable chair turned into a kiddie pool and a bunch of my friends and I were swimming in it. When we were done swimming, the chair returned to its normal size and shape, but had water in it, and when we dumped the water, there were albino worms in the chair. Thinking about it now, it would be an interesting band name. | amanda | ||
| Alchemical Centrifuge | It means to turn metal into gold by separating contained materials of different gravities. A heavy metal King Crimson, if you will. | FretBored | ||
| Alchemist Blood | I'd heard of a song from a friend called 'Alchemy of Love,' and figured I'd tweak it a bit---thinking that Alchemist Blood sounds cooler. | xxdaronioxx | ||
| AlcoHarlots | If a female group had that name, I would have to see them for that reason alone. | Brady | ||
| AlcoHole | I was writing down a bunch of bandnames one day and then I accidentaly put an "e" at the end of Alcohol without knowing and when my bandmates went over the list, they said that "Alcohole" was the best. | BeeTleJuce | ||
| Alegría Incontenible | In Spanish, it means "Unrestrained Happyness". It's meant to be ironical or something. I got it while thinking a good name for my band. | BiLLiE the Argentinean | ||
| Alexipharmic Cyanide | Alexipharmic - adj. Expelling or counteracting poison; antidotal. Cyanide - a very toxic substance that is a well-known poison. I was reading a thread on Ultimate-Guitar.com, and I ran across the term alexipharmic. So I looked up its definition and came up with this. It's cool because it's like saying "A poisonous antidote." | Asfastasdark | ||
| Algernon vs. Chadwick | From a feud of imaginary animals that I had in 7th grade. | Susan | ||
| The Algernon-Gordon Effect | This comes from a really whacked-up story I had to read in school called Flowers For Algernon. It's about a mentally retarded man named Charlie Gordon who undergoes a operation to enhance his brain power. Before getting the procedure, he goes through a series of "races" with a mouse named Algernon who received the operation before him (mouse runs through a maze, Charlie uses pencil on an outline). After Charlie gets the op, his IQ triples, and he's running experiments, which results in a study written by him called the Algernon-Gordon Effect: Intelligence will decrease as fast as it is gained. The mouse's intellect fell, then Charlie's. Really weird story, but you should see the movie version of it (which the whole 8th grade at my school had to endure the cheese factor of)! I joked to my friends about using it as a band name, they actually liked the idea. I might even use it eventually! | Alex | ||
| Alias Steel | It is simple how I come up with this, My friend wanted to call our band "Steel". I added the word "Alias" in front of it. As we all know, the word "Alias" means "otherwise known as". Cool? | Mark Blackburn | ||
| Alien Autopsy | This name sounds like a good rock or punk band. It means that your examining the body of an alien. THIS NAME IS TAKEN | tikiman | ||
| alien avenue | It just sounds great and like my road because everyone is strange down my road! | Pip | ||
| Alien Corn | My best friend came up with it during her first experience with Hominy (ya know, that nasty bloated corn?), and we both thought it sounded like a techno or punk rock band. | Michi | ||
| Alien Missfits | Me and my friend, we have a group, and since she knows we're missfits, her nick (when others are around) is Missfit and my nick is Alien, because I act like somebody that comes from another planet... or atleast that's what they say. So me and her just added the 2 things and thats what it came out to be: We're missfits even among aliens! @__@ | Dafne Davis (Bunny) | ||
| Alien Pubic Hair | It's a line from the movie the book/movie "The Exorcist" and sounds like a good punk band name. | beserker | ||
| Alien Suckerheads | You know like that movie with all those aliens with big fat heads, looked like walking blowpops. All they would say is eeek eeek eeeek and then vaporize a building. I think they were from canada or something. | badboybear | ||
| Alien Vomit | In the movie "3 Ninjas" (the first one), there is a japanese metal group that are tryng to think of a band name, and one of the fatter dudes spits out "how about Alien Vomit" and for some reason I remembered that through to high school, and our band used it. | PNKRCK69 | ||
| Alien8 | The government alienates people so I figured a good punk band name would be Alien8. | Joe Grinstead | ||
| Alienroids | hanging with the fellas. Name just came up. sounds like rock band juiced. | Jeremy Moski | ||
| Alkapello | It was my old bands name. it sounds like al pacino. it was funny at the time | Tyler | ||
| All 2 Senses | It could mean you are clueless. Punk Name DEF | Tiki man | ||
| All About Sam | There's this girl at my school and she has the weirdest sayings which would be titles of songs: "Oh My Cheetos", "Are You For Serious?", and "I got a dead buttcheek!" | Junior | ||
| All About Us | My friends and I were pretending to be cool and these boys say, "Hey, dorks, what's your problem?" And I said, "Sorry, it's just all about us," (it was something like that) and my friends and I were trying to start a band at the same time and my friends said that All About Us might be a good name | Somebody | ||
| All But Earth | The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says that this planet is actually a huge computer meant to find the meaning of life, and that we a just part of the program - and all but Earth seems to know this. Kind of a cruel joke if you think about it. Back to the band name, it also sounds kind of cool. | Princess Ana | ||
| All Fallen Angels | My Friend was watching the movie "The Crow" and heard something like "all angels will fall" and he fixed it up and now its a band name... =) | G | ||
| All of a Sudden | It hits you in the face. I was looking at this thing then all of a sudden it's just laying on the ground. I was like, "Did you see that, all of a sudden it fell!" Then I said, whoa, All Of A Sudden is sweet. | Leo Incarnato | ||
| All of The Above | My friend said it while we were studying for a test. We both thought it would be a cool name for a rock band. | Russty | ||
| All the King's Men | Well, it's a throwback to a mursery rhyme, and any punk band would enjoy that. It would be good for a Christian rock band, cuz Jesus is King, so, All the King's Men. ( I guess the would have to be guys to pull it off...) | Dave, the Dave from Dave and the Daves | ||
| All Things Political | my morman friend was so sheltered when she moved to our town. it was bout the bill and monica time and we were talking bout prostitutes, she didnt quite understand what the big joke was a bout, then she said, what so funny? arent prostitutes political. she also asked me what a cercumsicion is (yea, i cant spell but u know what i mean) and when we said orgasim, she didnt know what it was, so she went and got a dictionary!!! | the great and powerful gillian | ||
| All Thinked Out | its cool because its like i have no more ideas and my brain is totally busted up...(my generation). Anyways i was online talkin to my friend and then i was like what is a good band name and he told me like 3 but then said...I am Alllll thinked out...so use it because it describes the teens of the US of A..!!! (good anti-pop/punk band name) i might use it though but if i dont get famous feel free to use it... | j@cK!3 (jackie) | ||
| All Your Base | From the famous video game mistranslation, "all your base are belong to us"...sounds like the first part of that would be a cool name for a band. | Joseph Fernandez | ||
| All Your Base Are Belong To Us | If you've ever played the Zero Wing game in it's English form, you'll know what I'm talking about. This game was so poorly translated. Here's the intro just so you can see how sad the translation was. Captain: What happen? Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb! Operator: We get signal Captain: What! Operator: Main screen turn on. Captain: it's you!! Cats: How are you gentlemen!! Cats: All your base are belong to us!!! | Josh:Valos | ||
| All-Access Pass | So then your fans could get All-Access Passes for "All-Access Pass". | Aly McGugan | ||
| Alleyways | There dark and mysterious...just like your new band! | not-so-superman | ||
| Almayer's Folly | It's a book by Joseph Conrad, but who cares? You could replace almayer with anything you want to. The folly is because of most bands wanting to become famous, an that is, of course, a bit foolish. | Mr. Bigglesworth | ||
| The Almighty Ducks | Coz ducks are almighty. | The | ||
| The Almighty Sandwhich | The name speaks for itself. I came up with it when i had just eaten a rather seductive sandwich. So the name "Almighty Sandwich" just hit me like a sliced tomato. It sounds cool because of the word "Almighty". | Ryan | ||
| Almost Liquid | because it just is. | The IceMan | ||
| Almost Living | Cool because it sounds cool. I thought of what would be different and unique if I put almost in front of it. I thought of almost dead but that makes sense | Spike | ||
| Alodda Colada | Like "a lot of" pina coladas? For peeps who like to drink to much. My friend shouted that when her brother and his friends accidently left the top of the blender off when making pina coloadas. | *Dia* | ||
| Aloha Mr. Sasquash | hawaiin flight attendent meets big foot. you cant go wrong. | mwa | ||
| Alpaca Boy | My mother calls my boyfriend "alpaca boy" (behind his back, of course) because he grew up on an alpaca farm. When his car died, he had to drive the van that his parents usually used to transport alpacas in. | Alice | ||
| Alpha Centauri | It's cool because when we jammed or gigs we want only on a night that is full of stars not cloudy. | Sarz | ||
| Alphacrib | Alpha is my favorite word to say. I don't know why, but it just sounds cool! And crib is just a word I hear people say in my hood. | Saloot | ||
| Alphaomega Zombiedemon | Because Alpha is head and also means first, and Omega means last. I also think zombie and demons are cool looking most of the time. | joker of hearts | ||
| Alpine | My favorite type of apple cider is called Alpine. So, yea. | Munchicano | ||
| Altar Of Kings | I feel that it had a metalic, dark mood thats perfect for a band who plays heavy or trash metal. I liked it but my other band mebers werent to sure so they ditched the name. | hen12 | ||
| The Altered Abyss | Just looking through the names and putting a couple together to come up with a new screen name. | logan | ||
| Altered Perceptions | It just sounds cool. It is actually the name of my schools year book theme this year. My friend was just looking at the book and said,"Altered Perceptions, that sounds like a cool band name!" And I agree! | Ari | ||
| Alternate Detour | My band saw this in Philly, PA and thought it would be a good band name | Evan | ||
| Alternative Control | Well, this all started when I was just looking at my keyboard trying to figure out what the hell to call our band. And then...I just was staring at the Alt+Ctrl buttons and....It hit me...Alternative Control!! | RWG (Random White Guy) | ||
| Alternative Thursdays | kinda reminds me of the doors 'strange days'. and thursdays are cool, right...? | Lenndogg | ||
| Altitude | Because altitude means "height"; and a band should be high up in the charts. | microsoft | ||
| Altitudes | me and a friend were in geometry and we were learning about altitudes on the triangle. we did them all wrong and it was just really funny. i also thinks its a cool band name... | melee | ||
| altogether | just cuz it looks cool. has to be all lower case... it just looks cool. | richard john | ||
| Aluminum Fashion | It is a part of a line from "The Wizard Song"...Linkin Park fans should know what I'm talking about. | Junior | ||
| Aluminum Foil Eaters | I just thought it would be a good punk band name. | alex | ||
| Aluminum Ring | A tribute to our new clothes dryer, which uses a tin sounding ring to signify that the clothes are done drying (probably from a rubber clapper). It sounds like a baseball hitting an aluminum bat. | Indy | ||
| Alunogenatic | Alunogen is a name of a gem, adding things after the word just sound like it's YOURS. | avputries | ||
| Amaranthus | It's a flower, but it means the "Love-Lies-Bleeding" Flower. I thought that was pretty cool when my mom told me about it. | Tyler | ||
| Amaretto Butterscotch | A name in the same style as Vanilla Fudge. I just thought it would be cool to have a band name with the word Amaretto in it. And I don't really know why but I just like the way the words sound together. I just think it's time for another band with two flavors in it's name. It's just for fun. They would have songs that were just poppy and fun and catchy and made you feel good. | Edward | ||
| Amarillo Armadillo | This would be a good name for a country rock or western swing (country) band. I like it because it's fun to say and really memorable and it's alliterative and it rhymes. Both words are Spanish and in English it would translate to yellow little armored thing. So it's a lot catchier in Spanish. I think it could also be good for a band that has more of a Tex-Mex or Latin American sound to it. | Edward | ||
| The Amaury | I had a dream, and there was a flower called Amaury, so now our symbol is a dark rose. | Collin |
