Names -> Cool Band Names -> C, 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 C are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| A Carload of Carlos's | "A carload of Carlos's,(I believe there were 4 Carlos's in the car) were behind me at our local," What-a-burger" drive thru,and it kind of just came to me in a druken stupor!' | B Delgado | ||
| Carnival of Defeat | The band name has that angst-ridden touch to it, sort of rough rock-n-roll. It was classmate's band in college, and they came up with the name from a headline in National Enquirer. | Oondy | ||
| cARNY pEOPLE | Parents hate it when you hang out with them. They are always on the road, only come out at night, and have questionable character. What would your dad say if you announced, guess what I'm gonna marry a guy, he's one of those cARNY pEOPLE ? Great name for a band | HIPPI CHIC | ||
| Carpe Noctem | I've always been on a quest to think of a cool band name, and I've finally come to it. It's courtesy of a quote from my friend Jon. We were on a Scholastic Bowl team together, and when we went out of town to stay in a hotel for Sectionals, he was talking about what we should put on our T-shirts. "We're such night owls, we should have 'Seize the Night.' Y'know instead of 'Carpe Diem'...'Carpe Noctem.'" And then I realized, "Whoa. That would be THE most awesome name for a band, ever." Why? Because it's a play on words, it rolls off the tongue, and foreign band names are the coolest. So if I'm ever in a band and I get to name it, I'll definitely call it Carpe Noctem. | Cat | ||
| The Carpet Frogs | I was sitting on the carpet with my buddies. I made a "ribbit" sound with my a**. Farts on the carpet? Blame it on the carpet frogs! | Alizza Fitzkrinkle | ||
| Carpet Samples | i was with my family shopping for carpets....hense the name | Jonah | ||
| The Carpet Tunnel | I heard a woman mispronounce "carpeltunnel" as "carpet tunnel". If there was actually a carpet tunnel, Aladdin would be a happy boy indeed. | truth | ||
| Carrero Blanco Campeon de Salto | That means Carrero Blanco, Jumping Champion. That's the name for an old forgotten Spanish punk-hardcore band. Carrero Blanco was the chosen successor to Franco, the old dictator. He was meant to follow the dictatorship. A terrorist group made a heavy bomb explode under Carrero's car when he was inside. The explosion was so big that the car went high to finish on a roof. | Frankie | ||
| Carrier of Problems.. | I guess its just coz life is full of problems, theres always something wrong in peoples' lives, and I'm always having people weigh their troubles on me.. | Elen | ||
| The Cars That Ate Paris | One of the original names I suggested for a parody band I was part of a couple of years ago, never seen the film, but I've always kinda thought it'd make a good band name. FYI, the band was eventually called "Randy Old People". Long story. Actually, it isn't, I just can't remember it. | Heathcliff the Cat | ||
| The Cartiers | Pronouced "cart-e-yea". Cool random French last name...what could be better? | thiery | ||
| Cartilage | My bands name is Cartilage because cartilage does a lot for your body. It is the thing that holds together joints that keep the body standing and without cartilage, you would fall apart. | Tyler HAll | ||
| The Cartridge Family | The whole family forms a "bubble-gum" group, but with Charlton Heston as the front man! Maybe they could open for The Chamber's Brothers. | princejellyfish | ||
| Casa's Harassas | Okay, you guys don't get it, but my algebra teacher's name is Mr. Casagrande, and me along with the other fellows in my band enjoy harrassing him. A band name we've considered. | Wood | ||
| The Casanova Complex | Hmmmm, me and some friends just pulled this outa our a**es | Kevin R. | ||
| Casari | I came up with it when I had a project in social studies where I had to design a C.C. cover about ancient China. | Naked Monkeys | ||
| Casey Orchestra | There was this amazingly skilled kid running sound for a show... he was about 10. his name was casey (although i'd have liked to call him doogie howser), and we were all so totally impressed that i said i would name my first band after him since he's still in school (duh) and wouldn't be able to tour with us. so there ya go. | jessica sage | ||
| cassinova | I was watching this movie.. and i was like this wouldbe okay for an all dudes band.. | Porsche | ||
| Castle Dracula | I think it kind of sounds like it could be a band that is really heavy on the dance/techno stuff. Or they are kind of dance/goth stuff. I mean if you are going to have a band that's gothic, isn't Castle Dracula just about perfect? | Ed | ||
| Cat Paw Duster | I was looking through the Guinness Book of Records from a couple of years ago, and I saw this Japanese guy who'd made all these weird creations, one of them being dusters attached to a cat's paws so that it would sweep the floor as it walks along. I was instantly inspired! | Fuji-san | ||
| Cat Puke Pickup | I was sitting at band practice and my cat was on top of a shelf and it puked off of it. And it just happened to land right on top of my bass, directly on the pickups. | Darryl | ||
| Cat Toupee | I was really tired and saw a picture by Matisse. I thought it said Cat Toupee, but it was something else entirely. When I mentioned it to my friends, they all said, "Yea great name for a band - is it a toupee made from a cat or a cat wearing a toupee?" That's the mystery... | WCBM-GRUG | ||
| The Cat's Pajamas | this is the sickest saying in the world. it means your the shiz-nit!!! | zach b. | ||
| Catalyst | I was in mexico and it was our theme it means a person or event that causes great change. It would be cool for a christain band. | Laura | ||
| Catastrophe | It sounds like a good name for a death metal band. You could write suicidal songs about Osama Bin Laden! | Graham Jackson | ||
| CataTonic | Catatonic describes the state of being afflicted with catatonia. ("Catatonia" is "a syndrome, especially of schitzophrenia, marked by stupor or catalepsy, often alternating with phases of excitment.") CataTonic sounds good because it puts emphasis on "Tonic," which -- you pick the definition -- has to do with music or drugs. | Medication-High Jesteress Among Royalty | ||
| Catchpenny | I was looking up cool words for an essay and I found this online. It baisicly means something meant to appeal to the ignorant and dumb. I just thought it would be an ironic band name, but still catchy none the less. | Nate | ||
| Catchpenny | I didn't come up with it, and neither did you, Nate. There's a very successful band out of Minneapolis called CATCHpenny (catchpennyband.com). They're also the first thing that comes up when you type that in on Google. You guys should check the names first, just because now the name could be used by anybody. | ray | ||
| Category:Death | I was surfing (on the net) all about death gods and goddesses. Then, just below, I saw, also try Category: Death, Life, Reincarnation and so on and so forth. | awie | ||
| Catharsis | I can't really explain the meaning of the word, but it has something to do with purifying/cleansing, relieving your emotions-- so that's what the music supposedly does to the listener. Got this idea from the email add of one of my friends | MJ | ||
| Cathartic Carnage | Carnage : a great and bloody slaughter (as in battle). Cathartic : purification or purgation of the emotions (as pity and fear) primarily through art / also a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension I really like this name. Found it just playing around with a dictionary. Feel free to use it!! | Morgan | ||
| Catholic Phonebooth | It is cool possibly because it reflects a post-modern view on the way we reach and react wih realist values and views. | bun-ga-low bonsai | ||
| Causing A Disturbance | It sounds like a cool political punk band | Punkz Not Dead | ||
| Caustic Love | Well caustic is a biting, burning, severe pain Kind of remindes you of love doesn't it. He He | Jcky | ||
| Cavalier Firefighters | Cavaliers are mounted soldiers from the Renassaince period. Firefighters are well. Just plain kicka**. | Caboose | ||
| Cavatina | Basically, this is a solo or small piece of music that is part of a larger work. I wanted to name out literary magazine this, but it lost the vote. But it would also make a good band name cause its all melodic and such. Probably not so much for gothrock etc. but for softer stuff. | Lia | ||
| Cavebitch | Just thought it would be cool to see a bunch of cavemen addressing their female leader as Cavebitch. | Lil' Rick | ||
| Cavezas de nodillo | I means knuckle heads...well, it's kind of a nonsensical, literal translation into Spanish to which they just kind of go, "huh?" | davood88 | ||
| CBONE | A cool name for a punk band. | Tanner | ||
| Cecil and the Sprocket Holes | Any self-respecting Cecil B. Demented fan would love to have this as their band name. | Austin | ||

| Celery Stock | We played our first gig in the produce department of a grocery store. | Ed Madsen | ||
| Cellar Door | Drew Barrymore in Donnie Darko says something about it being the most beautiful phrase in the english language...I dunno that movie kicks though and it sounds cool | Laurie | ||
| Celluloid Zeroes | A play on the title of The Kinks' classic "Celluloid Heroes". Their first album will be titled "Don't Wait For The Movie". | band name | ||
| Celtic Surge | Sounds like a girl band. Loreena McKennet's 'Mummers Dance' mixed with electronica or techno. | Zelda | ||
| The Cephalopods | Means "feet on the head." Think octopus, squid, chambered nautilus. This would be a good name for a prog rock band. I can imagine a cartoon squid playing a Stratocaster on the bass drum. | Surfer Beto | ||
| Cereal Killer | I got it from an episode from The Simpsons. | Rachel | ||
| Cereal Killers Union | What if serial killers started their own union, but didn't know how to spell? This is the idea behind this grindcore hard rockers (CKU for short). | Moron | ||
| Cerebral Insanity | I was actually watching Triple H on wrestling. He's the Cerebral Assassin. I was like 'Cerebral Insanity' I thought it was kick ass. (This is my bands name) | CGB | ||
| Cesa Hle | It means chelsea! the letters ar mixed up like c at the begingin of chelsea and H after C a cool way to spell it! | Chelsea | ||
| Cesspools In Eden | It's the way this country is like now. People who live in their own little world, partying and escaping from society, thinking life is great while it's far from it---this country's economical and moral decay is sinking further and further into a cesspool. [Ed's note: You could say that for any country. It's just that the evils of America get all the press.;)} | Annie C. | ||
| CFC | It just sounds good. CFC=chlorofluorocarbons, which are putting holes in the ozone layer. | Scott | ||
| The Chad is Great | The phrase Tom Green wouldn't stop saying in "Charlie's Angels". Sounds like a punk rock band name. | Junior | ||
| The Chaf | seperate the weak from the chaf is were it came from and me thinks tis a cool name for a band | jonny carson | ||
| Chainsaw Bunnies | DON'T USE. My band is gonna use it. Um...in 6th grade, when I started my "Career" as a cartoonist, I made a cartoon called 'Evil DeathBunnies from Hell' about a group of bunnies that hacked people to shreds with chainsaws because they were tired of...er...being bunnies. So, yes. Chainsaw Bunnies. If you steal it, I'll hurt you. I guess. But it would make you an unoriginal person! | sXemosucksXe | ||
| CHAIVET | it means a nothing, not evening a real word, it just means to me a something to me but anyone is nothing is my own nothing | ALX(Prophet SPINE)Alex | ||
| Chanandeler Bong | It's cool cuz I heard it on Friends...this is the name that Chandler and Joey's TV Guide comes billed to. The girls guessed it was Chandler Bing, but Ross informs them that it is actually Chanandeler Bong. Chandler then tells Rachel that "it's actually MISS Chanandeler Bong" with a big smirk on his face, which is so typical Chandler that it's so funny! | Fel | ||
| Change For A Blue Day | Green Day cover band. Thought it sounded cool when I was high. | Dave | ||
| Change For A Penny | It is a rather ridiculous name, as you can't change a penny. Though I do ask around sometimes (well, all the time). | Aj | ||
| Change For A Penny | This name is cool because how can you give change for a penny.I came up with this name when my buddies and I started asking for Change for a Penny | WAR85 | ||
| Changing Consistency | I just think it sounds cool cuz if something is consistent it's supposed to stay the same so it's sort of contradictory. | Audrey | ||
| Channel 7 | it a local cable channel and my mom just started doing a pretty cool show on it | zake man | ||
| Channel Lightvessel Automatic | It's one of the sea areas on the UK shipping forecast. I always thought it sounded cool and would make a good band name. Then some b*****d decided to call their band Channel Lightvessel and release an album called Automatic! Robbed! | Dan | ||
| Chaos Because | There's a ring to it, don't it?? My friend wanted something Chaos. And I just thought because. | Celine | ||
| Chaos Burns White | Well it not satanic like Chaos Burns Red so I changed it to white and it sounded awesome | Caleb | ||
| Chaos Theory | I saw it on C.S.I. It is best described as "a butterfly flaps it's wings in China and there's a tornado in Texas". Good name for a alternative band. | Joe Montmatre | ||
| Chaotic Carma | We came up with this cause bad s*** kept happening to Fred not that you would know Fred or even care its just carma is the stuff that is like huge coincidence so we thought since it was bad crap happening to him we might as well and we lasted about 2 weeks as a band. | Little-big-foot | ||
| The Chaps | I was just talking to ben one time about crappy band names. I said "I recon the worst band name ever would have to be the 'Chaps'". So from then on, we were know as 'The Chaps'. | Guitar Chap | ||
| The Character Issues | From a Calvin & Hobbes comic, where Calvin thinks that his dad's character is killing him in the 'Dad Poll'. | therealdeepblue | ||
| Chareesma | When I was a kid I was reading out of an adult book for show and tell, since my aunt wrote it. I pronounced the word "Charisma" "Char-rees-ma", and the teacher was forced to correct me. The year later I moved to St. Louis. Eight years later, I thought I recognized someone at a music competition. It was some guy from my class who only remembered me because of my reading mistake in fourth grade. He played drums, I played bass, so naturally we clicked and formed a band with some of my other friends. | Pseudonym Psally | ||
| Charges Of Lime | i was kinda thinking of of citrus fruits and and zapping stuff at the same time so.............. | jake | ||
| Chariots of Fire | Joe | |||
| Charismatic Assault | I just combined two words with pretty much opposite meanings and came up with this......If you don't know what charismatic means it means like outgoing, easy to get along with so a friendly assault if that makes any sense | kyle | ||
| Charlatan Heroes | Well, "charlatan" means false, or pretend... so it's along the lines of "false idols." I'm not sure, I might be using this. | Jack | ||
| Charlemagne | This was the name of a song I heard, and I thought it sounded like a really cool band name. Pronounced (Shar-lih-main). It is also the name of a famous king. | Rach | ||
| Charles Monroe | The antithesis of Marilyn Manson! Pure as the driven snow christian rock. That sure would be equally annoying. | Matt | ||
| Charles Monroe | like marilyn manson but backwards. Marilyn Manson got his name from Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson so i desided instead of Marilyn Manson it could be Charles Monroe | Nick Rolstad | ||
| Charlie-in-the-Box | He's one of the Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - the best Christmas movie EVER!!!! | Koala Gurl | ||
| Charon | I thought Charon would be a cool name for a heavy metal or punk band. Charon is a man you rows dead spirits across the river styx to hades. It sounds cool. It is in the dictonary. You can look it up if you want. | Lauren | ||
| Charybdis | I was reading the "The Odyssey" by Homer and thought it would be awesome band name from the Greek myth of a giant whirlpool in the Mediterannean Sea. It swallows ships going by 3 times a day. | Jaymz H. | ||
| The CharzFellon | Pronouced like ChargeFellon...But its without the 'g' and drop 'e' and add 'z'. I don't know why but just sounds cool to me. | The Duke | ||
| Chasing Evan | My friends and I used to drink Evan Williams Bourbon all the time. One day, I had come up with a name for a band if we ever made one. I guess it's cool for old time sake. | Yeah | ||
| Chasing Umbrellas | There's an Abba song that goes "Don't go wasting your emotions", but someone misheard it as "Don't go chasing your umbrella". Don't you just love misheard lyrics? Plus, it just sounds so cool! | Princess Ana | ||
| Chastity Belt | Nice name for an up and coming girl's rock band | ryza | ||
| Chateau | I love this name because it means castle! And it's an awsome name I got the idea off of the store Le Chateau! | Alexis | ||
| Chav Return | I really hate the presence of chavs in my area. But when they stole the Hippie look (that they had previousy sneered at when I wore it), it was the last straw! I never thought I'd say this, but their baby blue hoodies and fake burberry caps will be sadly (but strangely) missed. | poohead | ||
| Cheater Key | Another one of the terms used in my line of work. A cheater key is a slender stick that turns on a scanner from an alternative slot while the switch is off. It helps in the cleaning and maintenence of the machine. | Indy | ||
| Cheats | I was watching this movie one day that I had never seen before, called, "Cheats." About this High School posse who just absolutely hate school and everything that has to do with school, and of course the school work they have to do. They've been that way ever since Kindercarten. And they grow up to be these lazy ass cheaters that get through life by cheating through it, and they have friends in every group at school because they can get "information" to cheat to get them through tests and stuff. And it ends with the "leader" one might say, actually graduating High School because he cheated through the midterm. Now it might be bad that he cheated, but there's a sense of coolness there. All his friends mumbling under their breaths just loud enough to hear them say, "Cheated the midterm!" or "Cheated, cheater!" Some of his friends decided that they were different and they wanted to do it on their own. But I think it's mostly that they're different, by people who choose to do things the easy way, and others who choose to do it the hard way. So this is a cool name because all the while we may be good, but on the inside we're really bad in our own "innocent" way. okay bad description but i cant think of any other way to describe it :-P | kristen | ||
| Check Her Out | I heard this guy with a Cuban accent saying this once, (not to me, unfortunately) and it sounded like, "Checker-ow". It's just a very flowing name. | Sarcasma Creator | ||
| Check Your Manpork | MY friend came up with it, when he was thinking of a band name. It was Check your manbeef, but there already is a manbeef.com | Gwank | ||
| Checking The Victim | It was in a health book I read, I thought it sounded cool | dude | ||
| Checklist | My band was looking for a name, and this is what we came up with. [Ed.'s note: Like a checklist of names, get it?] | c-train | ||
| Cheer Up Chemo Kid | My friend Dani bought a patch one day that said "Cheer Up Emo Kid." The next day at lunch we discovered that someone had added a "ch" in front of the emo part. I thought it would make a really interesting/offensive band name. | Cassandra | ||
| Cheers Brother Dom | I was on this retreat a few weeks ago. There was a Franciscan brother named Brother Dominic. He always said "Cheers!" since he was from New Zealand. Someone said something about "Brother Dominic and the teens need to pose for a picture". Someone else said that Brother Dominic and the Teens sounded like a band name, but I didn't like the "teens" part. So I stuck in Cheers instead. | Jess | ||
| Cheese Crusade | This is actually my character's name in an RPG, waha, but i think this would rock. And in all their videos they can wear swiss cheese costumes and stuff. No, that's just stupid. | paddlewear | ||
| Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys | what groundskeeper willie calls french ppl on the simpsons, cool particularly if u dont like france very much | ele | ||
| Cheese Food | I've always been torn between Cheese Food and Processed Cheese Food as the name. I thought of it in college as I was making queso. I always wondered what Cheese Food was anyway... | Chris Bell | ||
| Cheese Fur | A starving student band member looks in the refrigerator and finds the only thing to eat - cheese - has been covered by a soft green fungus that looks like fur. | Poidog | ||
| Cheese Helmet | I saw that commercial for Tom Green's "Freddy Got Fingered", and couldn't stop laughing when he said "Noo, you can't hurt me! Not with my CHEEEESE HELMET!" I thought about it, and feel it would be a cool Weird Al/Tom Green/Adam Sandler type band name. | Chris Smith |
