Names -> Cool Band Names -> C, Page 4
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.

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| The Chicken Scratches | A "chicken scratch" is something that is written so terribly, it can't be read by anybody. Kinda like a rock group whose words are so intelligible, that nobody can understand them. | write | ||
| Chickenfish | Don't Ask... | G | ||
| Chicks Love Us | I was trying to think of a good name for an all-guy band, and I thought, "How about a name that refers to crazed female fans?" After a few drafts, I came up with this one and it stuck. | A Kid Obsessed With Guitar Hero II | ||
| Chicory Essense | my dad used to always drink coffee with chicory essense. It is also an Italian type of green salad vegetable cool name for an all girl band | roo | ||
| Chidori | Japanese for "one thousand birds" and the name of an attack from the anime "Naruto". I just think it sounds dramatic, is all. | THX-1138 | ||
| Chidren Of An Idoled Mind | IT BASICALLY MEANS THAT THE CHILDRENS DREAMS AND IMAGINATION ARE ALL AYS SAID TO BE FAKE | CODY GAUDETTE | ||
| Chief Burky | A spoonerism of "Beef jerky" | Florrus | ||
| Chihuahua Loca | There's this chihuahua in my neighborhood that always starts chasing and barking at me as if he is a big dog. I always call him "La Chihuahua Loca." It's a funny concept and it would make a good name for a band or a record label. | Mike | ||
| The Chihuahuas | This is for maybe a an all-Mexican or Hispanic band that isn't necessarily like Los Lobos or Los Lonely Boys, but still would like to acknowledge their ethnicity. | Who the fuck want to know what my name is?! | ||
| Child Wrecked By Garden Centers | Based on a misheard version of lyrics in "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing" | Richard Wetfuss | ||
| Child's Play | I was watching a Chucky movie and thought that Child's Play would be a cool name for a punk band. | qwertyuiop | ||
| Childhood Trauma | I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Buffy attacked Cordelia with a stake (thinking she was a vmpire). Cordy exclims "What is your childhood trauma?!?!?!?" | Greg | ||
| Children of Moonlight night | ITs cool becuase its got a goth ring to it; and i got it just randomly reading Anne Rice | Vampire Chick | ||
| Children Of Saskatchewan | I'm from Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Canada. You know, the province thats flat. Thought it was a cool rip-off of Children Of Bodom. | Travis | ||
| Children of the Fokker Monkeys | I came up with this name from a "Beavis and Butthead" book. Don't ask..... i think it's cool | iamthecoolest | ||
| Children Of The Idle Mind | Another name based on a mondegreen, this one from Billy Joel's song "We Didn't Start The Fire" (where he sings "Children of thalidomide"). (Ed: Personally, I thought it was "children of the little mind" for so long.) | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Children of the night | I came up with it at camp during the gladiators event | dksnyc | ||
| Children Playing With Matches | After hearing of so many home fires being attributed to the existence of these same unidentified youth, I fugured this should be the name of the next hot heavy metal group to appear on the scene. | KT | ||
| Chili Con Carnage | I was looking at a list of weird band names and saw Carnage Asada but no Chili Con Carnage. It seems like a perfect name. | Jeremy | ||
| Chili Wilt Fun Guys | Every year chili has has to be harvested be fore "chili wilt' fungi attacks and damages the entire crop; bad for chili lovers every where but cool band name. | badboybear | ||
| Chilisplit | My mother and I were sitting in our vehicle on a cold winter day. I was listening to the radio and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" by The Clash had come on. Mom remarked, "Chilly!" (referring to the temperature) just before the vocalist called out, "Split!" and I decided to combine the two. I changed the spelling of the former simply because I like chili peppers (though, I suppose Chillysplit could work as a name, too). | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Chill | A scary but cool name. | enemy909 | ||
| Chillin' with Dillian | It rhymes. | fok you | ||
| Chimeranimals | One word, yes. The name for those...erm...jellyfish-like things from Tokyo Mew Mew. If it was the English spelling, it would be Kiremanima. Either is pretty damn cool. | Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B. | ||
| Chimneyswifts | A chimney swift is a kind of bird related to the swallow. This band name, especially when written as one word, is great for a British rock group. Any kind of British rock style, from XTC to Blur to the Smiths. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Chimp Go Boom | Makes you think of a monkey falling out of a tree. Chimp go boom! Aw poor monkey. | FuNkY mOnKeY | ||
| Chin Disco Tyler | I think this band name is great because I know somebody with a huge chin called Tyler. She also gets her nickname The Crimson Chin from her enormous oversised chin, AKA chinzilla. I think this could be used in a band because some people have chins which are big. | greek myth | ||
| Chin-acious "C" | My son used to be friends with a kid with multiple chins named Carter. | Susan | ||
| The Chinchilla Vapors of Olneyville, RI | Even if your not from Olneyville, RI...... | JTO | ||
| Chinchilla's Revenge | I don't actually know that's it cool, I just like how it sounds. But anyway, there's a realtor in the area who's last name is Chinchilla and when I saw that I decided that's what I wanted my last name to be. Having abandoned the idea of changing my name, I wanted to work Chinchilla into something and so I came up with Chinchilla's Revenge for a band name. I have no idea what kind of music they'd play ... probably some of that pop/punk stuff that I can't stand. Or maybe just straight-up punk. That'd be better ... | Jessica | ||
| Chineapple Punks | Cool name for punk band. (Spoonerism for Pineapple Chunks if you haven't got it already). | Matt Lacey | ||
| Chinese Fire Drill | My two friends and I are throwing around the idea for a band. I thought CFD would be a good name because after we finish a song, we all switch instruments. | crazy pete | ||
| Chinese Fooooooooood | It just seems like a cool Chinese band name... I got it from "Dude, Where's my Car?" That is the name of the restaraunt with the "And then scene" | Chris Smith | ||
| Chinese Men on Pogosticks | I was listening to the "pogo song" by system of a down and looking at an old picture of a chinese emperor dude | Nikku-sama | ||
| The Chinese Punk's Piano | Me and my friend Cassie were thinkin of people to be in our band and we thought of our friend Nicole who plays piano and thought how funny it would be if we had her playing piano in our rock band. | Chels | ||
| Chink Money | Its kinda like Cash Money, but not a rap band. It'd be a metal or alternative band. Me and some friends from school came up with it. We were stoned and wanted to start a band, but we sobered up and realized nothing good would come from it. | Daniel Cruz | ||
| Chipmunks On Coffee | Chipmunks are about the most hyper animals on the planet. Also, think about it...the lead singer shouting at the end of a concert, "Goodnight everybody! We are chipmunks on coffee!" and everyone will be like what the heck? | TheStupidGenius | ||
| The Chitlin Raisers | This is inspired by a line in the movie "Fletch Lives". The title character, played by Chevy Chase, is asked by a sheriff what he intends to do on the land that he has inherited. Fletch replies, "I think I'll raise chitlins. They're mean little animals, but their coats are worth a fortune." | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Chlamydiot | Someone who is dumb and has an STD. Or is that redundant? I could see a punk band with this name. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Chlorophilia | Distortion of the word chlorophyll, but also means "liking the color green". That's just cool. Somehow. | Princess Ana | ||
| Choad | We were in school, and we were thinking of Dani Filth's real name and... well, you see! | princess_of_evil | ||
| The Chocolate Bar | I love chocolate. | wonka bar | ||
| Chocolate Breast Milk | I've long thought it would be cool if this were possible. It's also a memorable band name. | Renard | ||
| Chocolate Chug and the 2%s | I played in a funk group where the only black guy was a drummer. We also considered affirmitive action. Neither was chosen | EIU | ||
| Chocolate Covered Rainbows | It sounds yummy, doesn't it? I was thinking of something that would be the total opposite of what the music style of a rock or metal band is like and thought this would be pretty cool. | Isamar | ||
| Chocolate Covered Salamanders | My friend has a screen name similar to this... the "salamanders" part comes from an old school inside joke where she does the "salamander dance." It's been a while since she's moved away, but the salamanders live on! | Medication-High Jesteress Among Royalty | ||
| Chocolate Covered Snooze Buttons | It's cool because NO ONE has thought of it before. Then again, it might just be really stupid. Oh well. Such is life. | Steve Smith | ||
| Chocolate Dessert | mmm...chocolate | wonka bar | ||
| The Chocolate Factory | Pretty self-explanatory -- a majority like chocolate so the imagery might appeal to them, also it obviously stems from some story named 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory' [anyone know about this?] Also it's highly memorable. First impressions might be a soul collective but I'm thinking more electronic music as an even more alluring contrast. | Devil Jones | ||
| Chocolate Hearts | It sounds interesting and delicious | Jaybird | ||
| Chocolate Man | chocolate | wonka bar | ||
| Chocolate Nostalgia | Kinda silly. I'm walkin' up to Wendy's thinking: "What kind of Frosty will I get? I had vanilla the past couple of times, so I think I'll get chocolate out of nostalgia. Wait a minute... Chocolate Nostalgia. Say, that kind of word-combo is perfect for a band name!" | Hypnotically Handsome | ||
| Chocolate Subway | My friend Kelton and I were starting up a band. We thought what would be the best band name ever? Then we went into separate rooms and thought up two random words. I thought up subway and Kelton thought up chocolate. So we slaped them together and history was made. Don't use it, it's copywrited. | marcus | ||
| Chocolate Tigers | Another result of combining two cool things into a single awesome thing. | Da Phoenix | ||
| Chocolate Twinkies | There first album would be called "Creme-filled" and their first song would be called "Cake". | Junior | ||
| Chocolate Wombat | From a tuff puppy episode which has a wombat character named willy wombat, who owns a candy factory and the atomic bomb pop. He is a parody of willie wonka and the chocolate factory. | jake | ||
| Choking Hazard | (1) They play really tiny instruments. (2) They appeal only to 3-year-olds. | Tim Baehr | ||
| Choking On The Sound | Well I was just on the computer one day and I saw something that said , "STOP"! You're choking the sound. | Justin B | ||
| Choosin His Exit Excited Steven's Eskimo | It's cool 'coz its initials are C.H.E.E.S.E I got it from Joey in "Friends". lol :) | The B A double Z | ||
| Chopin Wood | Even when "Chopin" is pronounced correctly, this name stills sounds great. | wonka bar | ||
| Chopped Liver | When someone else gets rewarded for work equal or less than you, you reply "What am I, chopped liver?" | Opie M. | ||
| Chordless Phonies | A cover band for Spinal Tap or maybe the Monkees? | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Chortle | Its a word from that awesome poem where the guy made up all the words. I thought of it. | Syzmanz | ||
| Chow Mein Kampf! | While having lunch in a Chinese restaurant and trying to think of words that ended in words that appear in the beginning of other words (example: monKEYstroke ), I happened to notice that the word "mein" is both Chinese and German. The name is the result. Maybe good for a punk/ metal band or album title. | smokey | ||
| The Chowder Society | it was a group of old men from a hitchcock movie who got together to tell ghost stories | DanEnterprises | ||
| Christ on a Bike | I read the name in a book once, and decided it would be a fantastic band name. In truth, it did start out as an exclamation. | Josh | ||
| Christianity Incorporated | Sort of a crust punk/metal band, because so many churches have gift shops. | destruction party | ||
| Chronic | Irony is the smartest form of wit. Would you not agree? | Eddy | ||
| Chubby Bunny | this is a good name because it's funny and everyone will laogh at your band name, but will love your music. this name is named after the game chubby bunny, were u stuff marshmelows in your mouth and say chubby bunny. | Christine | ||
| Chuck Norris | tell me one person better than Chuck Norris besides Chuck Norris himself. | mc | ||
| Chuck Taylor and the Superstars | The two biggest retro sneakers, after all. They'd do music of the late 60s and early 70s... when the Converse Chuck Taylor and the adidas Superstar were the Air Jordan of their day! | Charlie | ||
| Chucklepud | Was the name of a D&D character. | Indy Gman | ||
| Chucks | Chuck Taylors are cool shoes! i dont have a pair but they are awesome! my uncle was in a local band called chucks, actually he wrote their theme song, its was kinda rap it was called "chucks" it went "here a story of hishtop sneaks that everybodys wearin at the bottom of their feets" then later it goes "chucks are cool chucks are in, chucks are better than dock martins!" i think that's how it goes anyways lol | Kaity Cochran | ||

| Chumps Adolescence | I miss read one of the words on here thinking it said adolescence.. it didn't.. so I thought what chump I am! | Elliemaseee | ||
| Chunder Ponies | Just a note: this name is also an oxymoron (sort of), because horses can't vomit. | Jinx | ||

| Chunderbucket | Just because it sounds funny. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Chunk's Chubbie | Well our drummer had a Chineese Shar pei wrinkle dog named Chunk and pops a chubbie everytime someone walks in the door. He is a freeeaakkk!! | JP and RY HA | ||
| Chunky Dunkin' | My friend hates when people talk about nudity around him, so after dozens of bad "your mom" comebacks, me and my other friends kept saying "chunky dunkin'" to him, even putting a sign with it above his bed at a week long summer camp for Christian teens. If you don't know what chunky dunking is, it is the act of fat people skinny dipping | JeReMy | ||
| Chunky Monkey | My friend and I used to call this girl chunky monkey because she was chunky and always carried around her pet monkey. | B**** Burgade Member # 3 | ||
| The Chunky Thighs of Retribution | It's like Biblical and a deep throated plea from married men who yearn for pretty thin girls. | Spazmo | ||
| Chympansies | There's Gorillaz and the Monkees, so why not another misspelled primate? | Jimsdun | ||
| CIA - Criminals In Action | I heard it a song by Zach de la Rocha and KRS-One. I thought it was cool. | TGK | ||
| Cicada | A cicada is a musical bug, and a bug is another word for illness. Music to me is a illness because it runs through your body and only certain people get it. I was told it was gay, but I like it. | jch1000000000000000 | ||
| Cid the Destroyer | This is an epithet of my friend. It's actually Cid the Destroyer of Hawaiin Men, but it sounds better shortened. | Alicia Ant | ||

| Cigarettes and Valentines | It's so cool, because it shows the difference beatween right and wrong. I thought of it by thinking of a subject that means right and wrong. But it was Valentine's Day, and so I thought of it! | Olly G | ||
| Cigarettes with Vaginas | It just sounds cool. | Chazm | ||
| The Cinderblock Carstands | Well if they really suck they could always find customers who need cinderblocks for their cars around here. Thats for shure! | Badboybear | ||
| Cinderella Chili Pepper | I heard those words on a TV show when I was a kid. It's stuck with me ever since. | Y'z Cracker | ||
| Cinnamon Sin | Just sounds cool...I think...and I guess that Cinnaminson is a town in New Jersey. | Keith Bro. | ||
| Circular Breeze | My sister was watching Pokemon 3 and there were a bunch of Hoppips flying in a circle. I pointed out that they rely on wind so there would have to be a circular breeze, which struck me as a great band name. | Chocolate Candy Cane | ||
| Citation Needed | In this day of the wiki, it seems a natural. | Snoozeman | ||
