Names -> Cool Band Names -> C, 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.

| Citrus Acid | I came up with the name when I was reading the ingredients on a pop can. I just thought it sounded kind of cool. | Kelcey | ||
| City Sinners | I think its cool coz it sounds classy yet bad attitude style. We came up with it when i took my little cousin to church and they talked about sinners. I took the Citg part from city angels and put them both together. CITY SINNERS cool or what?!?! | Sarah | ||
| City Slackers | I thought it was awsome. I am from the city, and I am kind of a slacker at times. So i put those to together and got this. I thought it cool. | Jen | ||
| The CitySounds | How can this not be cool... the sounds of the city!! | joris182 | ||
| Citzens of the New Earth (CNE) | It would be cool for a punk rock Christian band. It refers to the new Earth that will be made after this one is destroyed. | Demersus | ||
| Civic Level | Very cool looking if you stack 'civic' on top of 'level' (all small letters) and write the 'V' as a capital so it fills in both words. And don't forget to turn the 2nd 'e' in 'level' around so everything is alike. Great logo. | Gary Gray | ||
| Civil Effect | I was thinking up band names for my band (duh) and this popped up. It means, to me and my band, that we are civil people affecting the world. use it if ya want. | Sean | ||
| cixelsyd | its dyslexic spelled backwards like a dyslexic person would see it and its awsome tho a little hard to pronounce | MaRc | ||
| Clamshell | One day me and my band were all jus chillin out. That day it happened that my friends door got jamed. So i said randomly "if that door was ne harder to open it would be like opening a clamshell." Then we thought about it and we realized it was a pretty cool name. | David | ||
| Clan of Gingerbread men | Taken from a line in 'the bike song' by pink floyd and the whole song is hilarious, this image is quite frighting if u imagine it! | Sublime dude | ||
| Clantily Scad | some drunk telling me about a "scantily clad" woman, came out with this slip. thought it was too good to go to waste..... | harlin moss | ||
| The Claps | I've never heard of a band called the Claps, and I have no idea why. It's nice, simple, and suggests that their music has a light rhythm (like hand claps). | Princess Ana | ||
| Clarity | It means clearness and easy to understand. And its sounds awesome too! | SS | ||
| Clarityblur | Oxymoron yes, but it's always nice to sum up life in 4 syllables. | rcsqueamish | ||

| Claymation Vacation | Thinking of the 80's videos and some of the creative visual effects. | alchem99 | ||
| Claymore | It's an explosive. I saw it playing Call of Duty | mike | ||
| Clayton | OK, let me explain. Clayton is a drink that tastes like alcohol but isn't alcoholic. It's known to be absolutely awful, and so when you say, "This is a Clayton soup" it means that it's tin/packet soup-meaning, unreal, poor imitation. Like a drink can make up for a coktail. Puhleeze! | obo | ||
| Clean Underwear | Because we all know it's the most important thing when going out...clean underwear. | Suzette | ||

| Clear Advantage | I think it's a cool name because when people watch your show there always going to say you have the Clear Advantage. | Nelson | ||
| Clear Conscious | I thought about the way my band sounds, and this seems like the appropriate term. We sound clear, and understandable. | Martina | ||
| Cleara's Day | I was looking at baby names and the welsh name cleara came up. I thought it was so cute, and then sister said, I saw it clear as day. So I turned it into a play on word. | Michaela | ||
| Cleaving Headache | Another term for a "splitting headache". I used the name to annoy my sister and others. | Frosty The Cat | ||
| The Cleveland Quickies | I thought it would be cool because my family calls a quick emergency cleanup for unexpected guests a Cleveland quickie, who knows why? They would be an underground punk band. | rod the mod | ||
| Cliff Diver and the Splash | I needed a name for a band in a short story I wrote in high school. It might not be the coolest name, but I got an A for the story. That was cool. | Bill | ||
| Clingskales | Working for Safeway (a chain of grocery stores), this was someone's last name on their receipt, and thought it was a cool last name. [Ed.'s note: If this is your name, beware of identity theft.] | Twight | ||
| Clinic For The Dead | Where do zombies go for medical help? See answer above. :) | scary | ||
| Clockstopper and The Pocket Watchers | I was thinking Pocket watch, and then turned it into pocket watchers. I needed something to put ahead of it, so it sounded like a lead singer guy. And clock seemed to fit. I just think it really sounds cool. It really doesn't mean anything. | Ed | ||
| Clockwork Hatters | i was playing poker in my math class (cuz we were REALLY bored) and later i was looking through my gaming magazine at the new American Mcgee's alice: madness returns game. when it hit me from the first game how the hatters hat looked. it had all these clock parts sticking out of it and it was all creepy and twisted. thats when i thought it would work for a band if they'll all be willing to wear top hats with twisted clock parts sticking out of it. | azrael | ||
| Clockwork Space | If you like Stanley Kubrick, you'll know what I'm talking about. | Jason Vienna | ||
| Clone The Jones | Jones: One of the most common names in America. Everyone wants to be like the Jones next door. Have what they have, do what they do..etc. So why not just clone the Jones then we can all be satisfied. | Gary Gray | ||
| The Clones | I came up with it because there were 2 Japanese kids that looked the same So I called them "The Clones". | hello | ||
| Close Enough | We had this cover band, see. And we were playing this gig for a 20-year anniversary for my neighbors' parents at this ol' peoples' home. I came up with the idea that we were not quite on the money, but close enough for comfort. But in the end, we were called "E18 Norrut" which is the official name for one of our interstate freeways. | Alex Jonsson | ||
| Closed for Renovations | With this up on the marquee, would anyone know if a band was playing? Can also use "closed for private show" | Buster Cherry | ||
| Closed For Renovations | I've always wanted to this on a sign outside a venue "Tonight, Closed for Renovations" | Clocker | ||
| Cloud in the Sky | if your lookin for christian names its talkiing about heaven.i saw only 1 cloud in the sky and i was thinking for a name for my christian rock band | Aaron Thompson | ||
| Cloud29 | well we had just started a band and we are a religious band we were think of angels which led us to cloud then we put the first letters our names and we counted them out of the alphabet i t equaled29 so we thougth and it grew but unfortunatley the other band member didnt like it so now its free to use | SWeetie | ||
| Cloudbluff Fall For Butterfly | Remarkably like Marcia's post of "Helen Yum In Markham", I also asked Siri something. And my quest was also unsuccessful because Siri couldn't understand what I was saying. I asked what is the scientific name of Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly. The actual name, I later learned, is Phoebis sennae. But Siri couldn't answer because she heard "Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly" as "Cloudbluff Fall For Butterfly". So here's another of her mishearings that could make a good "Cool Band Name"! | Roy R. Pryor | ||
| Clouds Above | This sounds like a really smooth name for a band. It sounds like u'r in a dream and also gives the impression the band might be a bit high in more then one way. ; ) | Claudina | ||
| Clouds That Follow Through Your Anus | Me and Tirza came up with it. | Chazm | ||
| Clover Tongue | It's got sexual connotations and it just sounds cool. Everyone wishes they could make their tongue into a clover. [Ed.'s note: No, not everybody.] | GigiMoney | ||
| Clown Closet | Based on skit from the old "Electric Company" which a woman shows a man a clothes closet, then a "clown closet" with clowns coming out of it. Maybe a band of gay clowns coming out. (Hope they're not too offended.) | Opie M. | ||
| The Clown Punchers | I have an extreme dislike of clowns. I think they are pure evil. So I made this up. Good name for a punk band or something like that | morgs | ||
| Club Ninja | It's the name of a really bad Blue Oyster Cult album, but I think it would be a great band name. | G | ||
| Clubber Lang | Have you seen Rocky III? | geko | ||
| Clubbing Baby Seals | it just sounds cool........it's just not right...Props go out to Monkeyboy. | Marc The Shark | ||
| Clueless Sun-Worshippers | My friends mom said it out loud in the car. it was really cool | Skadogg33 | ||
| Clytemnestra | It's pronounced: 'cligh-te-ma-nestra'. It was the name of some woman in Greek tragedy. It's also the name of a flower. I think it sounds pretty BA if you ask me. | Trent Estrada | ||
| CNUT | like FCUK (French Connection UK, a clothing company) but changed to a better 'swear word look-a-like', we tried to make it mean something incase our parents asked, but failed | Danny McNeill | ||
| Coal Promises | coal is what you use to make fuel so we can generate stuff such as cars, coal can also help destroy things e.g. ozone layer. promises because you can promise to generate or make something happen and then you can totaly destroy that promise, so if you make a coal promise its untrustworthy. | J.k Collins | ||

| Cod Roe Ice Cream | This was an actual dish prepared on IRON CHEF (by Iron Chef Sakai, no less). Needless to say, it was one of the less successful attempts at culinary innovation. | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Code of Conduct | I think its cool because you see all these bands come out with their thoughts and beliefs of why and how they sing, dance and dress a certian way, most of the time they end up changing one or all of their styles and beliefs, but i think that would be a cool way to show a bands authenticity, By their code of conduct. | $ecretV!cTor!@ | ||
| Code Peril | I think this is a cool name for a hard rock band because peril means dark or scared. | Austin | ||
| Coerced Coexistence | This is the name of an In Flames song. But I think it would make an awesome band name. | squirrelguy931 | ||

| Cola Mobile | Well, if you had a friend called Nicola, you could nickname them Cola. And then when you put them in your phone book you'd write "Cola Mobile". I just think it sounds cool as a band name. | Sophie | ||
| The Cola Nuts | For those who are fanatical about cola drinks. | Opie M. | ||
| Colada Skopaz | This name works for anyone, from a metal band, to pop-rock...it could even work as a pseudonym for one person. It's also a subtle Beatles reference. (hint: Lucy in the Sky) | Martin | ||
| Colanceras | Colanceras = a word that originated in a dream I had. In that dream, colanceras was a certain kind of mixer for making cocktails. | Lorraine Thoanjer | ||
| Cold Blooded Conundrum | Rolls off the tongue, you know it. Take a guess how it came to be... A Lizard fell in my pool and was trying to get out, so therefor schleptrocks, she/he was in a "cold blooded conundrum" this would be a cool name for a rock group with a hot blood like sound, and if you do not know who hot blood is you suck | Frankie V | ||
