Names -> Cool Band Names -> A, Page 3
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
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Ambiguous Descriptions | If you don't know, I'm not telling you. | CBcbcbcbcb | ||
| Ambisextrious | Like ambidextrious...but with SEX...HAHA..ha.........*sigh* | emily | ||
| Ambrosia Logical | I was trying to come up with an enigmatic sort of name and "Ambrosia" (divine food;food of the gods) and "Logical" seemed to have a nonsensical but poetic ring when put together. When you add the word "logical" to anything, it gives a false sense of cleverness. | Door into Summer | ||
| Ambush | to sneak out and attack, not a bad idea | bob nutter | ||
| Amen Ra | My friends and I were just making a band. Then we just thought up of Amen Ra (from the ancient Egyptian god). | Phil | ||
| The Amenders | To make amends is to fix a relationship, but the a prefix also means opposite. Mend means fix so it's breaking and fixing-with people, plus it sounds cool. | Stuart | ||
| American Colours | haha. get it. its AMERICAN colors but the COLOURS is spelled the british way. classic | unfortunate canadian boxing glove | ||
| American Commies | then you'd have to name the 1st album "Even-handed Justice" a friend and i were looking thru old books and i found this one on suspected commies in america's film/music industry during the 30s and 40s.....a WHOOLLE lotta grrrreeaattt actors/actresses got blacklisted (aka:fired from entertainment industry) and it turns out......all the commies were in the gov't all along.... talk about even-handed justice! | penny lane | ||
| American Gothic | My band and I were trying to come up with a name. I modeled it after the famous painting and I also thought it sounded pretty cool. Sadly my suggestion got turned down, and that band fell apart. I still think it's a cool name though! | LoganBKing | ||
| American Standard | It's the name on most public restroom fixtures... | Katz | ||
| American Wasteband | I was just sitting playing the game "American Wasteland" and listening to music. | shapoopi | ||
| American Wasteland | Because its the name of one the best skate boarding games ever. | Anthony | ||
| American't | I can't remember how I came up with this... I just randomly thought of it. Still, it would work well for a punk band (in my opinion) | Hawky | ||
| Americans Stuck In Idle | I think it's cool because to me it resembles how reality TV is going to the next level. Americans are just sitting on there bums watching TV. Plus it sounds cool | Kristie | ||
| amirights | Would sound like a 70s or 80s band. I think it sounds sweet. How'd I come up with it? I'm not that sure myself ;) | DarkDan | ||
| Amish Avengers | I had just bought the newly updated version of the game "Illuminati," which has a lot of new "group" cards (some of the cards are "Texas", "The Mafia", and "Gun Lobby". You are able to make up cards for the game, and we thought that the "Amish Avengers" would be a good card, with pictures of Amish people burning and looting... It seemed pretty funny at the time (maybe you had to be there...). | Kelley | ||
| Amish Bikers | When I started my job, we wound up working down near the New York - Pennsylvania border. I used to make jokes about the guys i went drinking with mouthing off in a bar and getting their a**es kicked by a bunch of Amish Bikers! | John Petrino | ||
| The Amish Conspiracy | My friend came up with it after a weird conversation about the possiblity of an Amish serial killer. | Jake | ||
| Amish Mommy | Driving through BFE Pennsylvania w/best friend....kept seeing Amish people w/buggies & were listening to Industrial. A natural morphing I think! | dulcinea78 | ||
| Amish Rake Fight | If the Amish had a dispute, how would they settle it? | Mike | ||
| Amish Road Rage | I saw this phrase in a joke-horoscope. I thought it was funny. No offense to the Amish, but the thought of road rage in horse-drawn buggies amuses me. | Penny Pyro | ||
| Amish Techies | Oxymoronic.Nuff said. | FireTiger | ||
| Amish Vomit Cake | Everyone can identify with vomit, you can make fun of the Amish as much as you want to on the Internet, and everyone loves cake. | Alicia | ||
| Amish Vomit Cake | The Amish are always funny as well as vomit and everyone loves cake | donovan | ||
| Amnesia | Well,I was thinking of a band name one day, I finally found one that I liked(which isn't often) and I forgot the name the next day.So then I said I have amnesia because I was joking around and I realized I liked that name so I stuck with it. | Scott Watts | ||
| Amoebas On Acid | There has to be some group that pays tribute to the smallest living thing on Earth, the one-celled parasite. This is cool because you have something that looks like a hallucination (at least under a microscope) hallucinating itself. | science | ||
| Amoebe and the Anal Intruders | I saw a very cheap chick (cool name for a band?), and thought of her to be the singer of a rock band. She was dumb like an amoebe, but we thought that she'd like to get intruded analy by 3 huge men. | JP Barentsen | ||
| Amore Accidental | Just a random thing, really. You could probably think of any word and put it in front of "accidental." It might sound good... | SeaWeedle | ||
| AMP (Anti-Marker Possey) | Like the ohters, its just naturally cool. It's an inside joke between me and some other people. I was in a class and the teacher only had markers to write with, and i dont like writing with the fat ones, so I said it was against my religion to use markers and they call me the Anti Marker. I dont know how to spell possey(is it right) AOL SN: SquireStrat2005 | Chuck | ||
| Ampersand | Ampersand is the "&" character, much like the band "Asterisk" (*), but the "amp" could be highlighted to emphasize music amplification. | Jack | ||
| AMPhetamine | Brings into emphasis "amp" (short for amplifier, you know, like for a guitar) out of the name of the drug amphetamine, a notorious stimulant. Probably a decent name for a speedcore/death metal band. | killer_roach | ||
| Amphibicus | Every other name on this site is a prep/emo song & this isn't.( Aqua teen 4ever!) | Master Shake09(Xbox live) | ||
| Ampified AxeWound | I was sitting on my computer one night and I have an ampifier right next to me and I was also playing warcraft 3 and they have axes. Awesome Heavy Metal Band Name. | Kurty | ||
| Amplexus | The scientific term for when a male and a female frog, err, you know, make tadpoles. They'd sound, I dunno, maybe like Orgy or something. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Amplexus | Lol, I'm surprised you mentioned that. My uncle had a band in college called Amplexus. We make fun of him for it relentlessly. | bob | ||
| Amplexus | The scientific term for when a male and a female frog, err, you know, make tadpoles. They'd sound, I dunno, maybe like Orgy or something. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Amplified | amp(amplifier) and fied sounds so loud and out there and.....um.....stuff all rights reserved by scotty | milo | ||
| Amplified Overdrive | Amplified Overdrive... just sound hectic, but does have some meaning like overdrive is a kind of amp sound like distortion and it comes out the amplifier hense the name amplified overdrive | Funky da freshest | ||
| Ampmeister | It sounds like some German band. Songs include "My Bosch" and "Burgermeister", and don't forget Beetle Beep! | Me | ||
| Amt | Its actually a play on words because if you sound it out it sounds like "Amped" which is like anyone getting pumped up or whatever. But actually this is my bands name so dont take it, and actually i have no idea why i put it in here in the first place | Pnathan | ||
| Amy Acronym | Named after Amy Acker (Fred Burkle) of TV's Angel. Her acronym would be A.A. | angel | ||
| An Ace of Kidneys | This was on VH1's Funniest Game Show Moments, where on a game of Wheel of Forune, a guy thought the phrase "An Ac_ of Ki_dn_ss" was An Ace of Kidneys. It was really an Act of Kindness. It was funny! | Panic Pagoda | ||
| An Honest Lie | Everyone is being honest while lying. I was really bored at 2 am. | I'm 'special' | ||
| Anal Bumcover | An alternative to "An album cover" from an Saturday Night Live celebrity skit with Sean Connery. It would go well with a band that enjoyed a good snicker. | Charles In Charge | ||
| analogous greed | T9 on my phone mispelled a word and it looked like this, and it looked cool | jeff | ||
| Anarchist | i was thinking and doodling anarchy symbols and it came to mind and my band mates rejected it but with Paranoia it might come back into circulation. | Ben | ||
| The Anarchists | I was looking at my Anarchy Wrist Band, and Listenting to Anarchy in the UK by The Sex Pistols, and it just came to mind. | Nick | ||
| Anarchy Agents | Haven't you seen The Dark Knight? | CreativeIndifference | ||
| Anarchy in paradise | I just thought it sounds cool, and it would fit a punk/ska band pretty well. Besides....once it was in anarchy....would it still be paradise? If nothing else someone should write a song based on the phrase......but they better send me a copy before it hits the stores. | nickbordendotcom | ||
| Anarcosis / Anarchosis | I came up with looking through the dictionary; this one's a combination of "anarchy" and "narcosis" (a sort of "drowsy state"). I figure it works particularly well because they're both 'tough' words. (I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the "H" or not, so I included both spellings) | Jonathan S. | ||
| Anarki | Well me and my cousins wanted to make a band so we started thinking about "cool" words, one of our friends who is the drummer thought about the word Anarki!! We looked it up on the internet and found out that it means "TOTAL CHAOS!!!" We found it was cool and now that's what our band is called. | Jordan | ||
| Anastasis | It means 'resurrection' in Greek. | jose Miguel | ||
| Anathematics | "Anathema" (which can be pronounced "uh-NATH-uh-muh") is a really neat word I found in the dictionary. The first definition (the one I find most interesting) is "a cursed or disliked person or thing." I noticed the pronunciation of the middle two syllables the same as the FIRST two of "mathematics" and since I have a fetish for putting words together, I thought I'd combine the two. ...Perhaps, this could mean "The study of things cursed?" | Jonathan S. | ||
| Anathemic Angels | I like the name, because anathemic means cursed ones; and angels are peaceful. So they are complete opposites. | me and only me | ||
| Anatomical Existence | Well a freind of mine said it in the middle of Science for no apparent reason. Totally random! Anyway, I thought I'd put it in. | ally | ||
| AnAVriN | NIRVANA BACKWARDS KURT RULES! we'll never forget | Lithium | ||
| Ancient Evil | My older sister gave me this band name because she studying ancient history at school and said it was evil. So Ancient Evil. I could of said Evil Ancient but sounds like a normal sentence, and rock isn't about that! | Georgia123321 | ||
| And Many More | Every time you see a compilation CD advertised on television, they don't list every band/performer, they'll list the most popular, then say '...and many more!'. If people were dim enough, they'd see these ads and say "Wow, that 'And Many More' group is really popular! They're on practically EVERY album! . | EricTee | ||
| And More | I once had a stupid friend who thought that at the end of those CD commercials where it said."It has Britney Spears, N'snyc, And More..." He actually thought 'And More' was a band (not that I like N'sync or Britney.) | mas | ||
| And Now | I think it would be cool for someone to announce you and be like "And Now" | Kristi Brown | ||
| And Then | If you've seen "dude where's my car," you just know | kATiA | ||
| and3 | This is a trendier version of a band name mentioned in the book The Commitments. One of the character's ex-band's had the very trendy (for the late-eighties) band name called "And And! And!" | Martin | ||
| Androgyny | My friend and I needed a name for our band-in-the-making. So we thought of words we liked, and the Garbage song popped into both of our heads. | gabriel | ||
| Androids Who Drink Milk | My uncle came up with this after watching ALIEN or ALIENS. | Paul | ||
| Andy Is A Smurf | One of our mates Anders was kinda drunk and screamed "I am the almighty smurf!" | Anders dahl | ||
| Anemic FudPuckers | My friend is anemic and while escorting her to the nurse's office yesterday I realized she was wearing one of those "Fud Pucker" t-shirts so it gave me an idea for a cool band name. | Mike Zaidi | ||
| Anemo | Anti-Emo. Come on, no one likes emo. | Beanz | ||
| Angel 666 | its a mixture of the devil and angel. theres nothing wrong with good and evil combined [Ed's note: In Michael's opinion.] | michael bruce | ||
| Angel Ashes | I mean what's more cool than the ashes of an angel? I came up with it by adapting the name of a local band, From These Ashes. | Brady | ||
| Angel of Death | When you picture this name in your mind you get this...vision of how it might look in life. While I was drawing in math class i drew this female that was dressed like a goth, and added wings with sparkles. When I was done it looked like a Gothic Playboy of some mans dream. | Kendra | ||
| Angel Wings | Damian | |||
| The Angelic Devils | Everyone is an angel and devil. Whether it's at the same time or different times. Depending on your mood. True ??? | EcclecticWitch | ||
| Angelic Sinners | Its cool cause it just is. We just thought of it. | Jeremy and Payge | ||
| Angels From Hell | I just now thought of it because I saw a bunch that had to deal with Angels. Than I thought of Angel Of Death from Slayer. So I said "hey, Angels from hell" | Alandra | ||
| Angels In Anoraks | I was at a festival and it was raining and this really goregous person walked by in an anorak and 'Voila!' He was an 'Angel in an Aanorak!' | Hazzy | ||
| Angels Lacking Halos | Any type of band who doesn't want to be seen as friendly. | Mike J | ||
| Anglemouth | Kinda inspired by the pill-popping antics of Pac-Man | Ex-Patient | ||
| Angostura Bitters | It's the name of a bitter tonic. I found it in the dictionary and it sounded like a great band name. | Emily | ||
| Angry Hobbits | I saw it on a bathroom wall in the comic shop I work in, "Beware the Angry Hobbits" was the full phrase. | Nazomi Jade | ||
| Angry Sex with Strangers | Came up one night in the course of a long conversation with friends that just got stranger and stranger. | llwydnos | ||
| The Angry Youth | It's so cool because it's derived from the attidtude of today's adolescent plus it sounds awesome. I thought it up while playing with a camcorder with my friends and we made a stupid video called "Angry Youth!" and one of my friends was looking for a band name so I gave him that and he LOVED IT! I just think it rocks. | Alastair McTavish | ||
| Anguish Without Life | Sounds cool ... anguish means Great deal of mental or physical pain. so its liek saying Pain without LIFE. ya kno...? | Can.. | ||
| Angus and the Chewbaccas | Angus is a cool name and I can make this really cool noise that sounds like Chewie from 'Star Wars'. | cap'n stinky | ||
| The Anguses | Even its a bit of a boring name but it can be interesting when the whole band is on school uniform. It was named after Angus Young of AC/DC he's always in school uniform. I'm a big fan of AC/DC and I reckon the name Angus suit's to the school uniform, I reckon its a good idea is to go on stage with your school uniform and your band the Anguses | KeZa | ||
| Anime Dolphins | Anime and dolphins are two of the coolest things in the world, so I just combined the two. | Da Phoenix | ||
| Anime Pornstar | This is a name of a font that is on my PC. I have no idea how the creators arrived at it (the font itself is nowhere near of any redolence). Nonetheless, I downloaded it mainly because of the name. It just exudes suaveness without question. It conjures images of an electro-punk outfit in a dark arena. | Devil Jones | ||
| Animosity | How we came up with it is that everybody in (the band) acts like a animal. | christian | ||
| Ann & Sprinkls | A twist on the legendary porno actress 'Annie Sprinkle'. | Roberto | ||
| Anne Frank On Crank | My friend Adam has a band with this name, they're pretty popular around Colorado. | Humpagoalie | ||
| Annex | My band was looking for a name on our first practice. We were went on a online dictionary and were looking when we saw "Annex". This meant to take over or to win (or a secret hiding place). | ajguitar | ||
| Annoying Republicans | Surprisingly, my dad came up with this. I guess he's fed up with W. | Mazotti Jordan | ||
| The Anomalies | It's a name which my friend ultimately rejected for her band, but I still think rocks, cos an anomalie is that thing on a graph where one point is completely out of line from the rest - a freak value. So it would be really good for a rock band who are different and new. The freak values isn't a bad name either, is it?! | Bec Dee | ||
| Anonymous Johnson | This is cool on two fronts. First, the entire band is unknown. Secondly, Johnson, also a common surname, is slang for penis. | old | ||
| Anonymous Response | I forgot how, but it's cool cause it it's a response that you don't know where it came from. | Dochie | ||
| Anorexic Catfish | Because ..... umm..... well, maybe it sucks... | red | ||
| Another Disease Theory | A buddy of mine came up with that, when we were in psych. class making up hardcore band names. and what, with the trend of these "feeling, emotional" bands | lafemmedigital | ||
| Another Fine Mess | A tribute to the 20s-30s comedy team of Laurel and Hardy. Oliver Hardy (the large one) would always exclaim to his buddy Stan Laurel (the skinny one) "Well there's another fine mess you've gotten us into." whenever Stan screwed up. I'm thinking a weird parody song duo. | oldtimer | ||
| Another Heartbreak | I go this name from my friend who gets dumped a lot and can't keep a relationship for a week. It would make a great emo band name. | res_dude | ||
| Another Love Band | Well, alot of bands talk about love non-stop in their songs. So I got the idea like "Not Another Teen Movie", but with another love band. | Jamie | ||
| Answer42 | its the answer to life, the universe and everything in Douglas Adams "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy".......or you could use "A42" | bigpapa |
