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.
Entries starting with C are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

| Consciousness | I thought of this name as a band name when I saw this on a book.

| Copyright â„¢ | My band and I were trying to think up names for ourselves and we thought of Blink 180 but then some one said, "You know dude, that's too close to Blink 182." so we changed it to Copyright so no one could take our name and just for more security we added the â„¢. | Professor Sludgey Brains III, a.ka. Amanda | ||

| Coral Beings | It kinda sounds like 'cool beans'. I watch a lot of 'Spongebob Squarepants'. In 1 episode, Pearl said that cool is pronounced like coral, and that's how I came up with coral. Now for how I got beings. We're human beings. | Lauren | ||
| Cordless-Action-Controller | It's the controller that you can buy for Playstatons that are cordless so you can play from across the room..so cool sounding.. | daf | ||
| The Cords | A chord can be played on a piano, giutar (pardon my spelling). The Cords sounds strange as it is a homophone (I think) of The Chords. | Mr. non-de-plume | ||
| Corigontes | Ancient Musicians from Greek History. They where driving crazy the crowd with their music. It's pronounced co-ree-gho-ntais. For those who're really interested naming their band like this, maybe there is a good idea to find out more info in ancient books library. | Greek | ||
| The Coriolis Effect | This is the name of an actual physical phenomenon which describes linear motion with respect to a rotating object. This is commonly used to explain that water spins in opposite directions in opposite hemispheres (though supposedly, that's a myth), but it can also be used to explain the apparently-curved trajectory of a ball thrown from a merry-go-round as well as global wind and water currents. Anyway, it might be a good name for a jazz band. | Raphael | ||
| Corn Avillo | There used to be a street near me called Corn Avil Road. My friend and I used to sing "Corn Avillo Road", using the tune of "Portobello Road". I just think it's a cool abstract name. | Posy | ||
| Corn Bizkit | Possibly a cover band of both bands (Korn & Limp Bizkit) or Fred Durst forming a band with members from each of the two bands. Plus if you take the two names togeher like in this case, it sounds like something I had with dinner. | buttnugget | ||
| Corn Starch | Well, this is the name of my band and how I came up with it. After I went to have a little meeting with my friends, I was so hungry. I went looking for food; and when I opened the cabinet, the first thing I saw was the corn starch. | quack | ||

| CornGoneWrong | Actually I was reading a magazine, and it was in a Cornnuts ad. Thought it was funny. | John Wroblewski | ||
| Cornhole Bishops | Kind of a dichotomy here...cornhole (or asshole, which is filthy dirty) and bishops (which are supposed to be pristine and holy). | Mike Lydic | ||
| Cornholio | It's the character that Beavis morphs into when he's had too much sugar and/or caffeine. Because of that reference, this would be a good thrash metal band name. | Carla Bisagni | ||

| The Cosmic Nine Destroys | I was at some website playing with one of those things that gives you random words to make a story or poem or something out of. Somehow this came out. | Cessi | ||
| Cosmic Patriot | A line from G.K. Chesterton. Neither a pessimist (the world is not worth my time) nor an optimist (everything is fine just as it is), the cosmic patriot is one who is dissatisfied with things as they are, but loves the world enough to work for its improvement. | Mooby | ||
| Cosmic Patriot | A phrase in G.K. Chesterton's ORTHODOXY. The cosmic patriot is neither an optimist (who says the world is O.K. as it is) nor a pessimist (who says everything really sux and, after all, what's the use?), but is someone who loves the world enough to work for change for the better. | Mark Linville | ||
| The Cosmic Toilet | Junior high childishness at its finest. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Cosmik Whiplash | The kind of music that this band plays is goth, rock, electronic and spacey post apocalyptic pop-punk.

| Cows Wear Leather | Sat around at a party listening to some militant vegans go on about fur coats and leather jackets until (after a few rounds) I blurted this out. | Riot_Gear_Nick | ||
| CowsOnProbation | Awhile back, I had this beanbag cow and I was on the phone talking to my ex, who insisted I name the thing after him. I said that it was too close to me and threw it across my bed. A little while later, he asked me what happened to the cow, and I said that it was still across the bed.

| Crack Dominos | In my middle school there was a board games class that we could take for an elective, that sounded like the easiest class so I took it. During class me and two of my friends wanted to play dominos, and the domino set the teacher had were special dominos. They had like 14 dots on some of the dominos, and I got around to calling them crack dominos. That would be a cool band name in my opinion. | Shiloh | ||
| The Crack of Dons | Another wordplay, this time of "crack of dawn". What would happen if rednecks controlled the Mafia? | J | ||
| Crackaz In Action | The initials of this is C.I.A. Good for a group of rapping whiteboys. | Smokey | ||
| The Cracker Jacksons | It's for people who think they are better than the Jacksons and who are also white. Sorry Michael Jackson, you're not white | Marcus DePriest | ||
| Cracker Whistle | You just can't whistle with crackers in your mouth. Go ahead, try it, i dare you. | Mr. Nannerpants | ||
