Names -> Cool Band Names -> B, Page 1
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 B are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6

| Babb's Uvula | An old SNL skit | squareroot | ||
| Babbelgnagg | It's a Swedish word, we found on my mates fridge. Pronounced 'babble-nag'. It means chatter i think.. You can use it in a lot of cool situations, e.g. 'Oops, I turned in to my Babbelgnagg'. | behnn | ||
| Bable | My friends are starting and Christian punk band. I was flipping through magazines looking for name ideas and came across a page that said "The Tower of Bable". I thought Bable sounded like a cool name. | Maegan | ||

| Bach's Cutter | its a play on words, a reference to the 9/11 hi-jackings and a reference to classical music. spell it with a k for a metal band. | mongoloid | ||
| Back To Work | I thought it would be such a cool band name because in one of my teacher's we would always get of topic. Every 5 minutes she would say, "Okay class, Back To Work!" How Awesome!!! | I Got A Great Band | ||
| Backaryd Babies | Ther is a swedish band called "backyard babies", but move the Y and youll get the name of a small swedish town; "backaryd". funny? naah. only if you live in sweden =) | albinogul | ||
| Backdoor Cowboys | Sure it has a Brokeback Mountain connotation, but it's still keeping in the spirit of weird band names. | Jace | ||

| Bad Neighbors | What could be worse... and now ya gotta live with 'em. But if you're a kick a** rock band, then that name says it all. | Flexable Phelps (gg) | ||
| Bad Taste | We think its a realy mad name for a band. I heard it on the radio when the anouncer was complaining about some actors bad taste in clothes, and I thought it was awsome, so does the band. | matt | ||
| Bad Year | This was inspired by one of the little messages on the cover of Green Day's "Dookie". Oh and for the person who thought Green Day was a stupid band (which it is in punk) because they didn't know what a green day looked like. Well the name Green Day is about the lead vocalist getting high. | CED | ||
| BADEAR | Not good for a lead singer who is tone deaf. But what a great band name. sounds like bad hearing. Goes with Badfinger | Willy | ||
| Badland Bandits | I was drawing a cartoon band. I had big gaps on outfits where a band's sign would normally go. So I created a band name and created the sign also. | Louis Lockwood | ||
| Badly Drawn Genitalia | I was going to paint my room, so I said to my mom, "I want to paint my walls white and have some friends over to paint things on the walls in different colors........" then I stopped, thought, and said, "No, nevermind, I'll wind up with badly drawn genitalia on my ceiling.....hey, that would be a cool band name!!!!!" My mother sighed. | ObiWannaDubi | ||
| Badly Dressed Dogs | A suggestion for the name of my band... This one didn't win. I imagine a dog dressed in one of those dumb costumes some people put on their pets. Poor things. | Heather | ||
| Bag o Rats | Imagine what concentrated mosh-pit chaos is in an ACTUAL Bag o Rats? | bramph@aol.com | ||
| Bag of Animals | My wife was telling our daughter to clean her room and she packed up a garbage bag with her stuffed animals in it. When she brought it out into the living room and I asked what it was She said a bag of animals. I thought hmmm. | Templar | ||
| Baggy Pants | Well, me and my friend were at his house on the trampoline. My pants were too big so they fell down. We called myself Baggy Pants, and we just called our band that. I just like the name. Dunno why. | Brennan | ||
| Baglady Romeos | My friend Walter had this thing for really old ladies. Oedipus complex for sure. He liked them so old we figured by the time he was 40 we would know he was looking to score one of his sweeties if we saw him headed to the graveyard with a shovel and a six-pack. | badboybear | ||
| Bahamut | It's the name of a kick-a** dragon from the "Final Fantasy" games, and also the name of some weird whale thing from Japanese kids stories, kinda like Leviathan. :p | k.m | ||
| Bajs | it's cool because no one wants to be called it | Moz | ||
| Bake Sale Hotties | Going to a friends elementary school bake sale. Thought of all these gorgeous teachers in a female rock band. Delicious! | Phil | ||

| Bakesale Tragedy | I drempt one night that I was drafted into this band by a friend--only to find out that it was a screaming metal band. | Kevin | ||
| The Balancines | It means 'The Rockers' in spanish. I thought it would be cool to have a name in another language...very mysterious, don't ya think? On the other hand, people might think you are a spanish band... | CL | ||
| Baldman | It's kind of a spoof off of Afroman. At my school one of the science teachers, who is bald gets high off of whiteboard markers during class, and we're all like, "if only because i got high was by baldman, it could be his theme song" | Superblonde | ||
| Baldwin Hall | It's named after a part of my school. I think it has sort of a cool name for a band. It's a little random but I'd listen to the band. | Sarah Batbold | ||
| Ballerino | You know the scene in 'Mystery Men' where they are interviewing superheros? You remember 'Ballerina Man'? I was talking with my friend Eve about it and we decided that since he was a guy he really should'nt be called a ballerina, but rather 'Ballerino'. After thinking about that incident I am now convinced it sounds like a name of a Italian techno-rock type band. | Gir Beeblebrox | ||
| Ballistic Sirloin | I was watching "Myth Busters" and they were dispelling the myth of the Ballistic Ice bullet. One of their experiments was a bullet made of hamburger. I was thinking about this and said "Meat Bullet" as a penile pseudonym. Then me and another guy started making plays on that and the funniest one was this. I said, that would make a cool band name. | Zymurgy | ||
| Balloon Baboon | My favourite word is balloon and the first thing that came into my head was baboon because it rhymed with balloon. It is cool because it has got two random words put together! | Camilla | ||
| The Balms | I was just thinking of something out of the ordinary and came up with this. (could also be "Lip Bomb") | Mr. B. | ||
| Balthasar | One of the people in the Bible but would be a good name for a black metal band. | Grim Reaper | ||
| BAMF! | A crazy name that exactly describes those in the band. It also sounds cool. BAMF! | Freddy | ||
| The Banana Hammocks | The band would wear letter sweaters and sports gear- you know, like 'jocks'... get it?! Cracking myself up here... | sk8rdad | ||
| Bananabuzzkill | It's cool cause my friend was thinking of band names and he's like banana, kill, buzz--bananabuzzkill! [Ed.'s note: This was actually a stunt on the MTV Jacka** predecessor "Buzzkill", where the three cads in the van hold fake auditions where young people are asked to dress as bananas.] | linelock | ||
| Band Camp | Ever watch American Pie "And there was this one time, at band camp.." | kgirl | ||
| The Band Formerly Known As The Last Name We Used | My friend's dad has a band and they are constantly changing their name. So whenever someone asks, she just says they don't have one, 'cause they're always changing it. So, one time, I said they ought to put an end to it and just call themselves "The Band Formerly Known as the Last Name We used." She liked it. I haven't pitched it to her dad yet, though. | 300 Bernard St. Girl | ||
| The Band Geeks | Come on, I mean who doesn't want to be a band geek?! You know the saying "Geeks get all the girls." WELL???? | josh | ||
| Band In Front | You know that opening band that no one can remember the name of? Well one day i was at a voodoo glowskulls show and i couldn't remember the opening band's name so i called them band in front. | Danny | ||

| Band Over | You know there are sublime messages in some names such as | Rudy | ||
| The Band Who Shot Liberty Valence | [Ed.'s note: A play on the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and also the Gene Pitney/James Taylor song. Sorry Bob, but your description didn't make any sense.] | bob | ||
| Band With No Talent | Truth in advertising. Got it from Green Jelly's song "Three Little Pigs" where the singer says, "And the moral...is that a band with no talent can easily amuse idiots with a stupid puppet show". "Stupid Puppet Show" can also be a band name. | Indy | ||
| The Band With The Hot Singer | Why do you think girls go to see bands? Because of the music? | Billy Kongo | ||
| Banda Nachos | its cool cuz nachos rool!! I was watchin the mexican music channel, and one band was banda machos. banda nachos was the 1st thing i thought of. | Mandie B. | ||
| Banded Slate | This is a cool name because Native Americans used this stone for ceremonial reasons. I came up with it from a statue I carved out of banded slate. | jeff van auken | ||
| Bandersnatch | It's from the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland), the line goes: "Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" Think it is an exellent band name; has the word "band" in it (obviously) and "snatch" which is catchy. | Marie | ||
| Bandit | I think this is cool cos its like using the word BAND as a verb, as in just DO it, like Nike, just BAND it. and Also as BANDIT like a robber doh | seran | ||
| Bandy McMusic | It's so Irish, it's gotta be cool. | Craig | ||
| Bane | Bane means absolute chaos and destruction. That's cool. | 123 | ||
| The Bangerz | I came up with it while trying to find a name for my band and I started thinking about when I was baby-sitting my neighbor's 2 1/2 year old boy banging on the keyboard. | Megbo | ||
| Bangkok Ladyboy | Was askin a mate to think of some band names for my band and this is what he came up with. Thought it was a joke but once u get over it's bizarreness doesn't it just roll off the tongue? | Si | ||
| Banjo Meat Mix | Banjos are rarely used and tacos whoop a**. | Derek Dumele | ||
| Banned | It's a play on words, you see!! Because they're a BAND. Would be good for an offensive punk band | Mz | ||
| Bar Of Soap | Why not create a band named after this paticular toiletry? | Hawk | ||
| Barbadensis | It was the ingredient on the back of a shampoo bottle. I plan on calling my first album "Aloe Vera". :) | Abi | ||
| Barbara Darling Brigade | Named after the man-hating go-go dancer/actress Barbara Darling played by Elizabeth Hartman in the 1966 Francis Ford Coppola movie "You're a Big Boy Now." The perfect name for a riot grrrl band. | The Skuz | ||
| Barbed Hearts | I was at a club, and on the wall was a painting of a heart with barbed wire on it. So I drew it, and my friend said we could make the band name the Barbed Hearts. | billy | ||
| Barbed Wire Barbies | Well, I personnally would NEVER has it as a band name, but it rings a certain bell. Maybe it could be used for a girl band that want to look like, I dunno, less "pretty-girl". Yep. | Tessa | ||
| Barbed-Wire Jockstrap | One day, my dad was making fun of all the heavy metal band names and just blurted this one out. Ever since, I've passed it along because it's so funny, although it seems like it would be painful. Perfect metal band name! | toolman | ||
| The Barbie Reputation | think its good for an all girl band because of the stereotypical barbie-slut theory | Leanne | ||
| Barbie Ruined My Life | This is the name of my sister and her friend's band. They were looking through newspaper clipping and found a newpaper article titled "Barbie Ruined My Life!" The rest, as they say, is history. | Clams Have Feelings Too | ||
| Barcode | I've always liked this word because it could describe anything if you think about it, since barcodes are used in the stores like that. In New York there was a building with a sign that said "BARCODE" It was an awesome sign, by the way. | Jessie | ||
| Bare Crosses | A Christian rock band with perverted hidden agendas... | FireTiger | ||
| Bare Midriff | I just kinda like it... at my school, if you wore a shirt above your belly button they would be like " Bare midriff" and give you a big shirt to wear over it | halito | ||
| The Barking Mops | Okay so this one time at Animal Control there was this little bitty dog. I asked what is was and the person in control said it was a Pomeranian. I said it looked more like a barking mop to me and I thought that would make a cool band name. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Barley Boys | I always thought it would be so awesome if there was an Irish metal band. The lead guitar riffs would sound like folk songs played on the fiddle and the guitarist would do the jig at the same time. That would be freaking sweet. Irish music is awesome. It would sound beautiful on guitar!!! I might just learn how to play traditional Irish folk dance songs on guitar.lol | Victor V | ||
| Barmaid's Shoal Tire | Sounds like a neat name; I don't know why. I first heard it when my cousin was trying to sing a song on her father's Irish Christmas record. Some of the songs were in Gaelic and in one she was trying to sing the closest sounding English words. The only words I remember hearing her sing for that song were "Barmaid's Shoal Tire" | Heidi Jones | ||
| Barnes and Not So Noble | My Dad works at the Princeton U Store and we were talking about the competition between the two stores and then I said, "I guess Barnes isn't so noble". | RachH | ||
| The Barneys | The band dressed up in purple suits, singing 'Do you want to be my friend'? | Jim | ||
| Baron von Salivate and the Vague Nutrition | I'm big on The Beatles. From what I've heard the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was The Beatles poking fun at bands with long names, so I was trying to come up with my own, but to no avail. Finally, I was listening to the radio and talking outloud to myself and I stumbled on my words several times. The first time "Baron von Salivate" came out, and I chuckled. Next "Vague Nutrition" spouted out, and I put the two together. | Prettz | ||
| basement butt monkeys | we were playing one night and some guy that we didnt know came up to us and said we look like a bunch of monkeys on stage. well we practice i an basement of a friends place so we just put it together,basically just to get a laugh outta people,we don't use it in public just at home in the basement | robbie chisholm | ||

| Basement Siren Song | All my instruments and stuff are in the basement. When me & my friends Skiv work to play, we say we're answering the basement siren song. | Mr Big | ||
| Bashaka Meniakus | This was my bands original name. It would work well as a Trip Rock band name. It didn't work to well for our Punk/Hardcore band. | SavageEntity | ||
