Names -> Cool Band Names -> D, 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 D are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Dead Star | The name of a Muse song. I just think it would be a great name for a rock band. | FRG | ||
| Deadbeat Formality | Literally came to me in a dream (cheesy, I know) | okay | ||
| Deadbeat Losers | I came up with this name because of the song "Deadbeat Holliday", by GreenDay, then i thought about how much of a loser/punk i was so i put Loser after Deadbeat. It should be a name for a punk band who dont give a s*** about themselves. | Skipper | ||
| Deadly Beat | I think any punk emo or rock band could use this. | LInkin Park Fan | ||
| Deadly Bread | "I just opened my mouth, and out it came!"--seriously, though, it's kewl. Their debut album: 'A Loaf of Deadly Bread', followed by "Day-Old Bread" and a blues album "Breadbasket Full of Blues". | Taltos_sp | ||
| Deadly Method | I think this is a cool band name because it could be for any band whether you're punk, rock , or heavy metal. I came up with this name because I'm in a band and have been searching for a name myself. I've been so desperate I've went around asking friends for ideas, most were pretty lame but this one sounded pretty cool. My friend told me this name because of his skateboarding he said "I have deadly methods to show you!" and I thought that was cool. If anyone wants to use it I suppose you can. | Ouch! | ||
| Deadly Popsicle | When I was about 8 years old, my best friend Drew flung a frozen popsicle at me and broke my nose. | Josh:Valos | ||
| Deadly Projectiles | It was in a newspaper column by Dave Barry. Sounds like a good name for a rock band doesn't it? : ) : ) | Liz | ||
| Deaf By 30 | I came up with this while going with my dad to the Wine Rack and hearing one of those nitwits in their cars who BLAST THEIR HIP HOP MUSIC SO FRICKING LOUD THAT YOU CAN HEAR IT FROM TEN BLOCKS AWAY and you can hear the bass through your feet and it gives you a headache. (No, I'm not an old codger, I'm 13! But it's annoying ya gotta admit...) And I'd just thought, well, those people who do that will probably be deaf by 30 ... then, hey, cool band name! It sounds like a punk band. | FuNkY mOnKeY | ||
| Deaf By Thirty | It just makes sense. Most hard bands will be "deaf by thirty". It sounds cool and my sister thought of it. | alchem99 | ||
| Deaf Punk | Off the band Daft Punk (with the hit One More Time), cuz they are obviously deaf. If they weren't, then they would stop making their music before someone got hurt. | Matthwala | ||
| The Dean Malenkoes | It's odd to name a band after a wrestler especially one not so well known. | Quinn Crossley | ||
| Death | Dunno why but I just like the word 'death'. It's almost onamatopoeia, - it sounds really satanic when you say it. | Zandie | ||
| Death 2 Cowboy | because my punk band hates country music and we also call our drummers boyfriend cowboy and we dont like him vey much | CanadianCHIPmunk | ||
| Death At Dawn | I dont know. I was just sort of thinking about something after reading breaking dawn, and I was like... whoa!!! death at dawn!!!! and lol yeah... just sort of came to me. | Jordan | ||
| Death Becomes You | It seems like something that would attract a lot of metal listeners. | Damien Bloodlust | ||
| Death Beyond Microcosm | I was sitting in English class drawing on the book cover, when I saw the word "micro" written on it. Before I could realize what I was doing, I finished "micro" with "cosm". Eventually, the whole thing came out. Weird! | nelson | ||
| Death By Design | I work in a design studio, and was working a real late night. My buddy said that nights like these were like a death sentence, and I was like, "Yeah, death by design." | Chan just Chan | ||
| Death By Heart | I was scrolling through here, while thinking of a band name and listening too HIM!! I just suddenly thought "Ahhh! Death By Heart". | Vess | ||
| Death By Missadventure | i found the term in a dictionary | Blink182freek | ||
| Death By Pillow | FACT: 4000 americans are accidentally killed by pillows every year. | AwesomeCasper | ||
| Death By Sorrow | I was Thinking of a H-I-M song called "Joy and Sorrow". I was thinking about death. Put 2 and 2 together, Death By Sorrow. | bronnie <3 | ||
| Death By Temptation | I think it's cool because Temptation means:temptation - 1) something that seduces or has the quality to seduce 2) the desire to have or do something that you know you should avoid; "he felt the temptation and his will power weakened" desire 3) the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state temptation - the act of influencing by exciting hope or desire; "his enticements were shameless" And Dead is a dark soundinng word, so it could mean: black seduction, black desire. | Stacey | ||
| Death By Verbal Suicide | One day i was talkin with my band and we where trying to think of a name for our band and i just though verbal suicide because i was watching CSI or something. The Guy on the TV said death by Suicide. I just added Verbal because it sounded better and it made more sence for a band to be called that. I thought it sounded like an Indie/emo type name. | Tricky Tray | ||
| Death By White | I was playing HALO one day and my color was white and I sniped out a guy and then i said "Death by White." yah. | Spartan 117 | ||
| Death Cab for Cutie | It's just crazy enough that nobody would take it serious, and yet stick in your head. | Brög | ||
| Death Camp Romance | I saw it on CNN. I thought it would be a cool name for a speed metal band. | Dave | ||
| Death Carny | This is a cool band name because carnies are scary as hell, and death is pretty cool for a band name. I came up with it when I was thinking of cool band names. I wanted death in it, so the second part I would flip throught the dictionary and look for a cool word. I flipped and there it was 'carny' and 'cruel name for a person that works at a carnival'. | Isaiah | ||
| Death Chain | My friend thought of it because we were at a park yesterday, and she fell right over a chain. Therefore she called it Death Chain. And we both thought "What a great band name!" | Saundra | ||
| Death Eagle | I was talking to one of my workmates about how we should (jokingly) start a heavy metal band and when we got into names this was the first one that came to mind. It's funny because it sounds so hardcore. | Tom | ||
| Death Forseen | The creepiest thing one could imagine...knowing when you're gonna die, how,and why. Good name for a hardcore/metal-core band. | CrazyRockChikPR87 | ||
| Death In A Gift Box | I just thought of it. I mean, it's ironic. You generally don't get death in a gift box. | Lily Powell | ||
| Death in a nutshell | Everything but death is shortened 'in a nutshell'. So I figured it would be cool, because it is another oxymoron and punk bands would enjoy being different. | Rockette | ||
| Death Note | In one of my dreams, I kept hearing Death Note in the background, and I thought it would make all cool band name. | Mandie | ||
| Death Notice | I think this would be a good name for a gothic band. I put this name on because I did receive one. [Ed.'s note: Prematurally, we hope.] | Ryan C. | ||
| Death Of Breath | Or turn it around and say "Breath of Death" or play with it some more like "Death To Breath" or even "From Breath to Death" or ... (oh well, U get the picture. It's all relavent.) | Dash Murdock | ||
| Death Of The Hillbilly Stickmen By A Sea Fart | This is a long band name and i like it cause it's a famous drawing that i drew in class | hamp | ||
| Death Rush | It will be a cool name for a rock band, where the music seems to be so fast. | Nijo | ||
| Death To A Pop Can | How many of you have stopped to bury those pop/beer cans that you crushed underfoot during a night out with the dudes? Well, now they can have the respect they deserve. And, if you don't like Pop groups (boy bands, anyone?), it could always be 'death to the trash can which is pop music.' | Semblance of Normality | ||
| Death to Strangers | My little sisters were watching Space Chimps, and the aliens yell out "death to strangers!" and I just thought it would be a cool band name. (: | Sam | ||
| Deathlicon | The name of an awesome tattoo from the Xbox game Fable. | Pinkie | ||

| Deaths Army | Imagine an army of grim reapers! | shellby | ||
| Deathwish On A Tombstone | On a site full of topsey turveys, impossible images and stuff like that, I found a pictrue of a tombstone. There's a poem on the tombstone, and if you read the first letters in each line, it spells out "F*** YOU". (that was a real tombstone by the way) The original thought was "F*** you on a tombstone", but I figured "Deathwish" sounded cooler. | Foxy-chan | ||
| Debbie Goes Mental | I was talking to a friend who was retelling a story and came out with "And so Debbie goes mental and says . . ." I always thought it sounded like a good name for some punky English girl band. | Beth | ||

| The Deceptive Nectarines | Well, it's kinda from when you go to eat a nectarine and it looks nice and soft and you bite into it and actully it's really hard and hurts your teeth. And it sounds cool. | BigCheese | ||

We were in school at the time, and I looked down at one of my tests that I got back (I got a 100). The last six answers spelled 'DefBac'. We thought that it was amazing, but we decided to go with a different name. | Ricky | ||
| Defeating KwaZulu | Ummm, i like zulus and theres a state in south africa called kwazulu natal, and the english beat the zulus in war, so the end was near! | Bill | ||

| Defective | My friends who started this band was really intrigued with the idea of coming out and yelling, "Hey everybody, we-are-Defective!!" And if they happened to have any kind of incidents with any of the equipment they would have an excuse. | Xammy | ||
| The Defective Theologist Imitators | That's what me and my friends did to "Collins Shorter Dictionary" while playing a sort of a word association game. It went kinda like this: Collins- call- phone- phoney- imitator; Shorter- shortage- deficiency- defective; Dictionary- book- Bible- theologist... Some rearrangement, and voila! A possible name for some metal band! | Lulabel | ||
| The Defenestration of Prague | History term!! Defenestration means to throw somone or something out the window. In 1618, Protestant revolters threw two Catholic officials out a window. They were saved by landing in a pile of horse crap. My History teacher actually will say, "Oh, this sounds like a (punk/pop/death metal/etc.) band's name!about history terms" all the time. We all agreed with him that this sounded like a hard core punkish band. My band was going to use it; but on myspace, there is a band with this name. Otherwise, I would say go for it. | LizO | ||

| The Deliverance | ever heard of the movie? | eric | ||
| Demand Destruction | Some economists say that if gasoline prices hit $3.50-$4.00 per gallon, oil consumption in the US will decline sharply. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but the term they use for that concept is way cool. And, it has a great double meaning: either the economists' concept or as a call to incite devastation. | Ex-East Sider | ||
| Demented avengers | A cool lyric from Pink Floyd's "Animals". I was listening to it when I came across this part of the site.. | Russell | ||
| Demented Half Spring | I broke open a mechanical pencil once and took out all the pieces. There was a spring, which I promply launched, and then broke in half.
