Names -> Cool Band Names -> B, Page 7

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.

Submitted by:
Box of Wolves I've always wanted to hear a band with the word ' wolf ' in it!  Purple K

Boy Scout Cookies Me and my friends were visiting California and were at a grocery store where we saw Girl Scouts selling cookies, and we thought 'Hey why don't Boy Scouts sell cookies?' Jake K.

Bracelets for Heroin This guy at a party was talking about being at a misfits concert, and there was this little midget guy with an arm full of bracelets that he was trying to sell for some heroin. I thought it sounded like a cool name for a band andie

Braided Peace I was trying to come up with a rock band name that didn't promote violence and would have some duality in it. The icon I came up with would have two handguns or "pieces" (slang for handgun) pointing towards each other with the barrels "woven" or braided into each other to signify them being "rendered useless". David William Rogers

Brainiac Maniac Rhymes.... Harlow
Brainwashed By Society My friend and I had a punk band for awhile, and this was the name, because we felt as though we were taught how to live life by the society and the things taught in school (go to class when a bell rings, do as your told, etc.) and we thought this was bullcrap, so we decided this was it. B-TyM

Branded ten-care tommy lowe
Branded Savage. Hello, folks. In keeping this short, I just wanted to say that, as A Native American, natives back some several decades back were basically considered to be savages only because of what I see as a people defending something. They were quickly losing, and to me, that was their land, identity and a way of life. So, since early childhood, I have it engrained on my mind: a picture of a lone native man, on his knees, with his hair held back tightly, hands tied behind his back, being "branded" with a branding iron,the word "savage". Wayne.Dudoward
Brandon Is Dead This will be a good name for a band that has a guy named Brandon in it. The fans will think that someone died. Ryan C.
Brat Worst It's a play on "bratwurst" and pronounced like the word "brat", meaning an impudent (misbehaving) child. I got it from a made-up bad joke I told a few times. German
BRAWL! It just sounded cool to me. enemy909
Brazen Brazen is another word for "shameless", I just think it's cool. kearnage
Brazen Head I came up with this one day when I was looking through my witchcraft books. I found this name and it just stuck in my head. But is has a dark meaning to it though, so beware if you pick this name. Nelly
BRB More text talk. NICKI
Bread Of Affliction A term that represents utter chaos and deceit. This name is dark and is driven by an even darker past. A childhood filled with violence and torture. Therefore the music produced would have to be quite the steady backbone for such a name. In common terms of explaination, the name means this. The father brings home the bread and afflicts pain upon the child. A great name for any lead singer who suffered from any sort of abuse at a young age, as I did. BOA
Break the Broken If it ain't broken, don't break it? Instead, break something that's broken? The band name leads to lots of strange questions. RevengeFromMars YouTube
Breakfast Activities My mother's best friend tells how she was taken to the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's" as a child. She had been mishearing the title as "Breakfast Activities". She didn't get much out of the movie (at least back then), so she was disappointed and thought "Breakfast Activities" would have been an idea for a better movie. D. Melody Dole, MD
The Breakfast Beers This is dedicated to any and all college kids who have ever woken up from a hang over and went straight to the fridge for a breakfast beer! Jessie
Breakfast of Chumps Wheaties cereal is called the "breakfast of champs". This band would be the opposite of that. RevengeFromMars YouTube
Breakfast Surreal Like, Breakfast Surreal, man! XD I came up with this while eating Wheaties...I think this would be sooooo cool. Natch
Breaking Beauty I was playing guitar hero and had to come up with a name for my band just thought it was cool maya
Breaking Glass or Broken Glass I saw somebody smashing their window and someone said.That guy is breaking glass and i thought.Wow! what a great band name great for alternative,punk,or metal.  hardhitter85
Breaking my Balls Wordplay Sarah D.
Breaking My Mom's Window I love it. Fred
Breaking Silence Our drummer broke one of his drumsticks, and we were fighting on who should buy more. We all just stopped for a second, and it was completly silent. So I started thinking about it. I put the two together, and that was I came up with. alex long
Breast Implant Baby Referencing real band name "Silicone Baby", since breast implants are made of silicone, JeReMy
Breasticles I was on the bus one day when my friend said it would be a good band name... and imagine going to a concert and saying "i'll be back later, I'm going to go see the breasticles" The debut album could be "Mortified Parents" Dweezil
Breeder Reactor I was reading a physics textbook and I came across this term - apparently it's the part of a nuclear power plant where neutrons are generated (or something) prosimian
Bremuda Mohawk These are the names of two streets on a sign over I-696 in the Detroit area. Iron Mike
Bridge Out Ahead you can hang up flyers for this band and scare everybody on the road mike
The Bright Chesterfield I think my band's name is cool because a lot of people think it means a fluorescent couch. I came up with the name when my band was rehearsing. I never though of it, but half the people live in a town called Bright, and the other half live in a town called Chesterfield. I just put 2 and 2 together. Amy Baggey
Bright Shadows I just think of things that can never be or things that are there, but are the oppostie of what they should.. kinda confusing actually KB
Brightest In The Box There's a popular shirt that reads: "Not the brightest crayon in the box, are we?". I thought that it would be cool to mix it up. whaleandladder
Brilliance Of It All well i happened to be reading a calvin & hobbes comic and it was just there. just stood out as a really good band name sarah
The Brilliant Green Its cool because it makes you think of lasers! Well, maybe just me. Mana
Bring Down The Skies its the nMe of downloadable content for mass effect xbox game kyle
Bringing Down The House To bring down the house is a phrase meaning that your audience thoroughly enjoyed your performance. And they show their appreciation by enthusiastic cheering and usually long and loud thunderous applause. I think it could be a very good name for a rock band. I even made up a title for their first album and/or single, Rockin' To The Rafters. Edward
Brink 2 Element Brink means the end. The end to the fire Sarah
Bris Kringle Named for the Jewish Santa Claus Regina Haniger
A Brisk Farewell My friends and I were thinking of band names. Some said, "Farewell". We said it needs something else, and someone had that brisk drink (Lipton tea). So I said, "A Brisk Farewell". Zach
The British Invasion Taken obviously, from the phrase "British invasion" coined in the 1960s when suddenly a lot of British bands were being played on American radio and getting hits on the American pop charts. I think it would be good for a band that played a "new wave" style of music. If this isn't an actual band name already it should be. Edward
British Sea Power I is a real band name and the submitter obviously knew it. The name doesn't come from a power company, but a 19th Century book on war. Correction
British Sea Power I keep thinking it's a name for an electricity supplier and I don't think any saine person could think of a strange but cool name at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****Jaqval^-^
Bro/ken hmm...I was on a website and on a little forum thingy somebody's screen name was "Bro/ken" and I thought it was very kewl that they broke up the letters like that...it was cute. And I think the type of band it'd be is probly like a punk/metal band and yeah...  HappyBeingNo1
Broadband Chatter Well, me and a friend were in the car...and we were trying to find something on the radio, but it wasn't working out, and I was like "Why is there only broadband chatter"....and it just kinda sounded cool.... Melissa
Broadside Affront As in the phrase, "A broadside affront to our sensibilities." Good name for a brash young punk band with real in -your-face style. Surfer Beto
The Brogues It woul be a good name 4 a irish punk band like floggin molly or dropkick murphys. They all have brogues! And it sounds like "pogues" the most famous irish old shcool punk band. DaN
Broken Bottles I don't know, it sounds amazing and it can hold a meaning to some bands depending on their taste im music. bryan
Broken Child Splatter goregrind band I used to be in. I came up with the name because I got so sick of hearing my sister play her Destiny's Child CD so much on her stereo. She plays it so much that it sounds like a broken record. So that's how Broken Child came about.  Lord Worm
Broken Daydreams and Sweet Nightmaress This means alot to me because the daydreams burn as I know they won't come true. The nightmares are already a sweet reality that only makes you wanna do it all over again. Karlie
Broken Disaster I was just sitting here thinking of how it would be to be a disaster and to be broken at the same time. I don't know. Maybe I'm just weird. Jessica

Broken Furbies Have you ever heard a broken Furby? Furbies are obnoxious enough as it is. When I was like, 8 my Furby broke and it sounded like it was underwater, and it studdered very badly. Poor Furby. I loved him so dearly. But its fun to call people broken furbies when they are annoying, they look at you quite strangly. Catherine

Broken Girraffes Our art class has to do this project where we make up our own band, and this is what my brilliant friend came up with. Probably one of my favorites. nicoleee R
Broken Headlights This came up after my neighbor ran over his cat and he blamed it on his "broken headlight". That same day we made our band and bam here it is(unfortunately none of our recrds have sold. Maybe because I am the bus driver they always seem pretty shaken up when we get werever we are going I wonder...) Norton Skiskosky
