Names -> Cool Band Names -> A, Page 5
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

| Ask Me Later | If you told someone that you started a band, they would soon ask, "What's it called?" | patrick tipton | ||
| Ask No Questions | This would be such an awesome name for a band that played a bunch of different styles like hardcore, techno, goth, electric etc...at one time my brass quintet considered it because we played jazz and classical and arrangements of rock stuff...but it kind of fell apart. I still think the names f***ing cool, though. | jacki | ||
| Aspectus | sounds cool, but it's actually latin for range of power or vision. | matt | ||

| Asphalt Monkey | Saw it on the back of a truck back in the late 90's. Would've been a good name for one of those ska/punk bands that were crawling out of the wood work. | ted | ||
| Asphyxia | My friend and I were sitting in his bedroom smoking tab after tab. In the end, the air in his room was so thick with smoke that we couldn't breathe! We were listening to Sepultura at the time and this was the dumbest name we could come up with! | Mike n' Jake | ||
| Aspirin Automatic | a couple of my friends and i were trying to come up with a name for our friend's band (currently called "undecided"...yeah, you get it), and we came up with some really crazy stuff like that...until someone burst our bubble. aspirin automatic=AA=alchoholics anonymous. yeah. | tomoye | ||
| Ass Kong | Ass Kong is what Donkey Kong actually translates into from Japanese. | Carla Bisagni | ||
| The Assassination Of Hypocrisy | I thought that if I was ever a song writer, I would be writing songs exposing social hypocrisies. And so this would be the name of my band... | mannequinboy | ||
| Assault Of The Cult | it just sounds cool. | Cody | ||
| Assaulted By Numbers | During a physics lecture, my professor said, "We live in a world where we're being assaulted by numbers." I wrote the phrase down in my notebook, because it sounded like it could be the name of a punk band. | metalgirl162002 | ||
| Assaulted by Numbers | I was in physics class when the professor said that we live in a world where we're being assaulted by numbers. I just thought the phrase sounded like a good band name, so I scribbled it on my notebook and, after class, ran to enter it on the site! | Metalgirl162002 | ||
| Assistant Pee Wiper | I was with my friend at Bush Gardens, waiting in line for a rollercoaster one time, and we watched as the row of cars came in. Apparently, someone had been so scared, they peed in their seat. Well, this guy comes out, with a towel and a spray bottle, and wipes the pee off. He so named him the "Assistant Pee Wiper" because he was to young to be top. | Becca | ||
| Assorted Nuts | well i like eating nuts but assorted nuts are the worst though cause you never know what you'll get and most of the time what you get sucks. So if you were goin to see a band called assorted nuts they would probably suck. But now and then you would get a great solo. | mr.jimmy | ||
| Astaroth | Astaroth is a god that watches over hell but is also the god of delightment. | Blake Allen | ||
| Asteroid Flaming Death Crater | I just thought it up a second ago. I think this would be a great death metal band name, as I'm told that a giant asteroid's coming to hit us soon anyways so u could use it now and look like a genius in a few years... | Ben Singer | ||
| The Asthmatics | For those of us who are always fighting for air. Ohhhhhhhh, Fighting For Air, that's another good one. | cheetah m | ||

| Astro Flame | I just thought of space and fire. I just like mixing words together. | Sam | ||
| AstroCarpet | Cuz the carpet in my band room. Looks like the sky with stars. | Phillipe | ||
| Astrocatastrophe | I used to use this as a screen name, and people seem to like it. Sounds like a pop-punk band that sings words you can understand about wreaking havoc on the planet's environment. | SnackCracker | ||
| Astroglider | Named after the sexual lubricant product called "Astroglide" | Johnny D | ||
| Asylum 'Em | You repeat the last syllable, and it sends the message to throw them in the asylum. | Chris | ||
| At Night Fall | To me it means when night comes. But when night comes, that's when the most killer parties happen. | megan | ||
| Ataraxia | According to Webster's New World Dictionary, it means: "calmness of the mind and emotions; tranquility." But it still sounds cool for a band. Or "Ataractic" (a tranquilizing drug). | Medication-High Jesteress Among Royalty | ||
| AtaXia Callusive | I was reading a biology book at library,when I found the word 'Ataxia' that stands for a neuron inability to keep the body's balance. And 'Callusive',well I heard this from Box Car Racer's song. See guys,science is not relly boring after all. | RiNa | ||
| The Atheist Agnostics | A good name for the most un-religious band in the history of rock! | Dan Abnormal | ||

| Athena | Some Greek goddess. It has a good ring to it for a rock band. I wanted to call our band this but it was overruled. | Willy | ||
| Athena | Its named after a greek goddess. who wouldn't want to be a greek GODDESS? Its pretty trippy. Maybe if it like had a bit of a techno rock to it. It'd be hip to the dip! | rockergurl | ||
| Athenae | You can mess around with the spelling, but basically it's pronounced 'af-en-eye'. I was at my friend's house, and we were thinking about band names. I just looked around for some inspiration and saw this little Olympics teddy bear propped up against her wall. It was the Athens year...and it just came to me. | Xtinangel | ||
| Athens | ive been reading the ancient greek myths and realized that all the names of the ancient greek places sound cool i.e. thrace, ithaca, crete, etc. | ata | ||

| Atomic Nuclear Pizza Of Doom | When I was in junior high economics, one of the in-class assignments was to make a pizza. I accidentally used a tablespoon of basil instead of a teaspoon (which one's smaller?), making my pizza VERY spicy. So this is what I called it. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Atomic Nuclear Sporks | Sporks with the power to create three-eyed fish O_o Interesting.... | Chiriko-chan | ||
| Atomic Tundra | In 7th grade, a couple of my guy friends were going to start a band. I figured I was pretty involved, since I had written every song they wanted to play. In Math one day, I got bored, so I started thinking of ANYTHING I could for a band name. One of our vocab words in Science was tundra, and I just thought that was a cool word. Especailly if it was atomic, so it could like explode, at any second. | classiccowgirl | ||
| Atomic Twister | There was this movie on TV, you see... | IHaveNoBrain | ||

| Atrocities | Usually when my friends and I are shocked by something, we just yell out *Gasp and Atrocities*. We all thought someday we may use atrocities as our own band name. It also means appalling behavior, which is what we depict everyday! | RioT | ||
| Atta to End | me and my friends came up with this. Atta to En means eight to one in german or some language, so we changed it to Atta to End so it'd, I dunno, have end in it. So it kinda means eight to one. A single would be "we are outnumbered" | Boogie | ||
| Attack of the Attackers | Redundancy is far too overlooked nowadays, and anyway this is one band name that you can't say doesn't make sense. | Horseradish of the North | ||
| Attack of the Pink Socks | My friend had a nightmare in which she was being attacked by pink socks. Now she's seriously afraid of pink socks. Plus anthing called attack of... and then something harmless just craks me up. | 300 Bernard St. Girl | ||

| Attic Noise | My mom alwayz calls the type of music I listen 2 "attic noise" because she thinks there is no beat to it and itz kinda creepy. I usually just reply, "no mom this iz (name of band)." She usually just glares at me and leaves. I thought that if there waz a band called Attic Noise, she might actually be right 4 once with their name. LOL! | Siren | ||
| Atticus | The good guy from To Kill a Mockingbird. | KJ | ||
| Attractive When Drunk | My mate asked me to describe his step-sister in 3 words! Cool name for any band! | Sim | ||
| Atypical Day | Obviously, a play on the phrase, "A typical day." It works nicely since "atypical" is a slightly stronger way of saying something is strange, so an "atypical day" would be something to talk about indeed. | Jonathan S. | ||

| Audiocrime | A combination between Audioslave (which is good but no way near as good as R.A.T.M) and my friend's fathers' band, Radiocrime. Cool. | Nathan da legend | ||

| Audiomatic | This stuck in my head when a person with a speech impairment was trying to tell me about his car. | John | ||
| AudioVisual Stimulation | I once had a science teacher in high school named Mr. Wagner who, whenever we were about to watch a film, would say, "We're going to have some audiovisual stimulation today." We always used to make fun of it once we were out of class...and after all, a concert IS audiovisual stimulation, so it kinda makes sense! | Carla Bisagni | ||
| August Spies | Pronounced August Spees he was a German Anarchist. | Matt | ||
| Aunt Acid | I was learning about antacids in science class, and thought it would make a good band name. | Rachel | ||
| Auraphace | My friends and I were playing around with some techie stuff while completely drunk, just to see how much damage we could do. One of them tried to say "Audiophase", but it came out "Auraphace" because of his intoxication. It also sounds cool because of the sexual innuendo reference to "orifice", | Argues with Treestump | ||

| Automata | It's a garage band name! Actually I read it in a Japanese comic book and it means Artificial Life....or somthin' like that. Anyway it sounds cool to me. | Shenlong | ||
| Automated Voice Service | Automated voice service. I came up with this name because so many bands use technology now a days to change their voices so I thought its like they're an automated voice service! | LEM(Live Every Moment) | ||
| Automatic Earth | With six billion sheeple who have forgotten how to reason or think for themselves, we've become the robots we fear. Thus every process on the planet has been automated. Instructed thru the media then monitored by satellites. This was once a fertal, promising world ...what a shame! | Gary Gray | ||
| The Automatic Granny Ninjas | When my grandmother slaped me and knocked me over....it kinda happened automaticly, so i just thought this up. | David *_* | ||
| Automatic Pause | This is cool because I was buying the new U2 cd. I just put in 'Automatic'. I was listening to my cd player, and I saw the "play/pause" button. | @drian | ||
| automatic weapons on the dance floor | well a friend and I were eating breakfast at a hotel sports bar it was totally empty except for us and on ths 12 inch tv was this really cheesy 80's movie where one minute they're in this back room that looks all scary and stuff then the next they're being shot at out on a dance floor and my mom walked in and said 'woah automatic weapons on the dance floor' and I thought it would make a cool band name although now that I think about it its alot like panic at the disco | Rosie-o | ||
| Automaton | Well, when my band was looking for a name, our guitarist came up with this name, but in the end we didn't use it. I reckon it sounds pretty cool and well, that's just it. It sounds cool. | No Hero | ||

| Autotelic | belief that a work of art is an end in itself or its own justification | DB | ||
| Autumn Almanac | I was listening to a song by the Kinks that had a very heavy Beatles influence on it. I automatically thought to myself, that it would be not only a cool name for a band, but perhaps also give the Kinks a renewed following. :) Hear that Ray? | Slr1971 | ||
| Autumn Frost | Black/doom metal from Finland in the vein of Opeth, My Dying Bride and Moonspell. Up in Finland it can get really cold up there and the name sounds like it should be a band with that type of sound. | okayokay | ||
| Autumn's Bloom | I don't really remember how I came up with this. My friend and I were thinking about cool band names. I thought Autumn's Bloom sounded really cool, because nothing blooms in autumn. | logan | ||
| Auxillary Clinton | Sounds like a political electronica band, "Main Clinton showing signs of pulmonary troubles, switching to Auxillary Clinton." | Nicholas | ||
| Auxillary Drain | Me and my friends found a sign by this pipe and it said Auxillary drain on it. so we took it. then, we looked again and thought to ourselves. We should make a band and call it that. | Bernie | ||

The name is a reference to the hero's (A living Stone Monkey ) Religious name. It was made into a .T.V Series by NHK in the late 70's & The english dubbed version was CULT Viewing in the U.K at the time. "The Nature of Monkey Was Irrepressable !) | Grimley Fieendish |
