Names -> Cool Band Names -> D, 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: | ||
| Devils Looking Glass | i just came up with it... | Abby | ||
| Devils Named Angels | i came up with it from a show when they mentioned devils and angel in the same sentence. It just sounded cool. | laquisha | ||
| Devine | When you listen to it it has nothing to do with being devine and devine sounds cool because it sounds like killing but it means special (P.S. Devine is my band name) | Josh Plunkard | ||
| The Devirginators | I once played in a maxi-crazed rock band with no scruples and no limits on anything. We didn't get many gigs, but we had a blast everytime we jammed. Can you guess the name? .... right!! | Max Murdock | ||
| Devoid Bowie | I have no idea... | NewWaveNinja | ||
| Devolution | It sounds like a really punk band just because it's also very negative. | CED | ||
| Devolved | My pal and I were messing around with shaving cream in the bathroom once and we were talking about how it dissolved in water ( I DON'T KNOW! We were about 10 years old, I don't know why it was such a hot topic!) and she accidentally said, Devolved instead of dissolved. We got to thinking, dude, that would make the best band name! After that I was determined to start a band with that name but I got to be about 13 and lost hope of ever having a band. That's really too bad! | Sarah | ||
| Devoshkurace | well my name is Devin Mace and my other band member name is Josh Gurski and we combined then so it is all there................................ | Mace_001 | ||
| Devouring The Unicorn | Me and my friend were decided to start a band and so we were looking in a magizine for random words and phrases to use and we saw a picture of Mobe with an evil grin on his face holding a blue unicorn piniata next to his face and my friend exlaimed "Dude!!! that s**** is devouring a unicorn!!!" But we later found out that some guy in canada had a band named devouring the unicorn. | led_object45 | ||
| Dewey and the Decimals | The Dewey Decimal System | Nich | ||
| Dewey Dell & the Vardamans | This name comes from William Faulkner's novel "As I Lay Dying". Dewey Dell is kind of hoey, and Vardaman is kind of retarded. I think it's pretty cool. | tommytaco | ||
| Dewey, Screum, and Howe, Inc. | Their songs are inspirational, as they tell us all about, "Do we screw them, and how?" [Ed.'s note: Have you ever heard of the joke about the law firm of "Dewey, Cheatham and Howe"? Same joke.] | FiFi | ||
| Dexter's Dark Rage | I was thinking about how i used to watch Dexter's Laboratory and how he would get mad at his sister Dee Dee and I was thinking about the other show Dexter at the same time. I thought it would be cool....it could also be an inside joke. | BunnyKiller | ||
| Diabetic Opposition | I once took a history course in high school, and the teacher, for some reason, kept making malapropisms. Therefore, she once said that Hobbes and Locke were diabetically opposed. | Raphael | ||
| Diableries of the Apocalypse | I was searching for some big words one day on AOL Thesaurus, and I got this phrase. Diablerie is an evil person, and the Apocalypse is the end of the world, so naturally they fit together. And since the initials are D.O.A., it works even better. Perfect for a Marilyn Manson/Slipknot-type band. | Freedom Rock | ||
| Dial Triple Zero | Sweet name for a metal, thrash or just tweaked out band. I think it was the name of an FMX video. | Anti-This | ||
| Diametrical Opposed | it shud be diametricaLLY opposed but who cares if it soundz gd - my mate's dad was writin a play and used it in one of the lines. I took it. | aura022 | ||
| The Diamond Sand Arena | I was looking in the anagrams section on this site and one of them was "The Diamond Sand Marina" for Marina and the Diamonds. I thought of "The Diamond Sand Arena", and it sounds interesting without sounding too much like Marina and the Diamonds. | Lefty Lucy | ||
| Diamondirium | It is a made up word...I think is cool! | G | ||
| Diamonds in the Rough | Its a sayiing, and it would say how in the middle of all the shitty music out there, yours is hardcore. | Ubert | ||
| Diamondz | My mates and I were messing about when we were a lot younger and decided to write and sing our own songs to backing music. We recorded a tape that flopped (what a surprise). Anyway this was our name because one of me mates was Dianne. I'm Monique and Daz (Darren) was a singer with all our names it made Diamondz! | Monique | ||
| Diana Rising | Actualy, my friend came up with it while staring out her car window at the moon, and since Diana is a moon goddess and at about 7:00 sometime in June the moon is rising, we decided that Diana Rising would be a cool band name. | Cobra | ||
| Diaper Rash | I was jamming with my buds but I had to stop and change my daughter's britches, and well, you get the idea. [Ed.'s note: "Diaper Rash" was also the initial name of the band played by the group Vixen in the movie "Hardbodies". How do I know? Don't ask!] | Jason H. | ||
| Diarrhea Of A Madman | A scary thought! | Hardrock Henry | ||
| The Diarrhea Of Anne Frank | We had to read that stupid book ("The Diary of Anne Frank") in class. So me and my friends thought (The Diarrhea of...) would be an awesome band name. | blake | ||
| Diarrheality | I like it because it`s a name everybody can relate to. Reality affects everyone, but so does diarrhea! It`s what I call an all-encompassing name. | steve preston | ||
| The Dibatags | A good obscure animal name. Dibatags are a little known type of antelope native to east Africa. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Dibs On The Crowd | I was thinking about how kids like to "call dibs" on stuff ("I got dibs on the TV!" or something) and I got to thinking, if your band attracts the crowd's attention more than others do, why not say you've got "dibs on the crowd"? | Jonaphantom | ||
| The Dicentra | My band and I just believe it to be a really cool name because it means ' a heart shaped flower' or ' bleeding hearts' . | Chelsea Damaris Bashi | ||
| Dick Devine | The name of a well known Cook County prosecutor. Would work for a band also. Not suggestive of anything else. You didn't read more into it than that did you? :-) | Buuuuuurp | ||
| A Dick Named Guy | One day at lunch at school, me and my boyfriend were just yelling out a bunch of random stuff, so he yells out, "A guy named Dick!" Then I scream at the top of my lungs, "A dick named Guy!" We got a lot of weird lyrics. | Quickstep | ||
| Dick Stroker and the Pipefitters | Why is it cool? What's NOT cool about it? How did I come up with it? Too much pr0n. | DaWormyPimpsta | ||
| Dickfore | Will leave people asking "what's a dickfore?" | Doochie | ||
| Dickie and the Whiz-Bangs | A lady I once new named Anne Marie had the nickname "Dickie" (don't ask me why!). She told me that in the 50's, her friends would refer to a real cool car as a whiz-bang. My friend Ruben and I always thought that this would make a great name for a band. | Moorpark Mark | ||
| Dicky And The Pigsty | I just thought because my mom calls dad, dicky, for some stupid reason (he dicks around) and his room is a pigsty so dicky and the pigsty. it would be a cool band name for punk rock bands. | Isabella | ||
| Die In A Fire | I was just trying to destroy Keegan when he said "Die in a Fire" | Chazm | ||
| Diesel Drop | Inspired by (the band) Snow Patrol (mispelled as "petrol" by azita). I got the name Diesel Drop. It sound priddy (pretty?) cool, I guess. | azita | ||
| The Diet Coke of Evil | Just one calorie. Not even enough | YASMR | ||
| Diet Sunglasses | Fewer calories than regular sunglaases. | John doe | ||
| Differed Adjudication | I got this ticket in Houston. The cop said its this new law called Differed Adjudication, and boom, I thought thats a band name!!! | Bedo | ||
| Difference of Opinion | It's just cool! My brother was looking at this list of punk/ska bands, and some of them just have dumb names, so I thought "I could do better than that..." | That*Bunny*Girl | ||
| Different Alphabet | me and my band were discusing the days in middle school and about the language we made up and I said it was a different alphabet | Mike Hawk | ||
| Different Shades of Everything | It sounds really philosophical and deep, and it makes you think (probably more than you'd like to). | Jessie W. | ||
| Dig All Jive (Sparingly) | Someone spraypainted it all over Ithaca. | Sara | ||
| Digital dog | the name is kewl that is all to it | Heaven | ||
| Digital Hamsters | I saw my hamsters out of my cage and in my keyboards typing random letters. | odie | ||
| Digital Plague | You could say it's derived from "Garbage", which implies what the music is. But hey, plagues are widespread and that is a good thing for music. | novagaurdian | ||
| Diglett and the Beyblades | To be honest, I have no idea. | John | ||
| Dihedral | Just a terminology for the upward tilt in an airplanes wing. Flying? High? Sounds like a name for a band with wild guitarists. | Gumby | ||
| The Dim Wits | Me and my friends were thinking of a cool name for our band. My brother walks in says, "You guys still don't have a name? You guys are a bunch of dim wits." I thought it would have been cool but no one else did. I hope I hear a band named like that one day. It would be comedy! | Mala | ||
| DimeSide | I really like the band Nickelback, so its some sort of spoof of the real name. | Chris | ||
| Dimestore Windups | I was in a car with my mom talking about my band's name, and she said "Ah! Dimestore Windups!" It just stuck. It sounds cool. | GreenDayFreak | ||
| Dimethyl Pussycat | This was actually the name of a cat that my mom bought back in the Sixties (she changed the name, of course). When I told this story to a friend, she said it would make a cool band name. I guess so, if that band played psychedelic rock. | Raphael | ||
| The Dimwits | It's cool 'cause Red Foreman from That 70's Show said it. I don't remember exactly what he said, but he called the guys dimwits, and I thought that would make a kick a** band name. | Loser Hero | ||
| Din | It means sudden uproar or loud noise. | vince | ||
| Dingbat and the Meathead | "All in the Family" fans will remember Archie Bunker's nicknames for his wife and son-in-law. Might be good for classic TV fans trying to form a band. | Martha Hankins | ||
| Dingleberries For The Pickin' | It sounds gross, but if your don't think about the "dingleberries" part, it sounds cool. | Nerdy Joe | ||
| Dingo Droppings | I stepped in dingo poop once while walking on a nature trail...It wasn't fun.... | Awwwoooooo | ||
| Dinner Alone | My mom came up with this one after hearing that my dad was gonna be late getting home from work. So, she said, "Not dinner alone again." :3 | Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B. | ||
| The Dinner Club | Well you've heard of the movie the Breakfast Club of the 80's and also there is a club called the Diner's club. Like "I have my Diner's club card." It's a combo of both | Audrey | ||
| Dinner for Raccoon | I saw a raccoon gnawing on an orange peel in the trash yesterday. | Kittenwithaname | ||
| Dinner For Three | Better for a 3 man band. My band of 3 were thinking of what our name should be while at Applebees. One of my friends goes "So what should our name be?" The next thing we hear is the sound of the waitress. "Dinner for Three?" | LeMMy | ||

| Diplomatique Digital | I've always thought that electro-music has some kind of diplomatic, laid-back pride, hence this name. Why french? When I think of a diplomat, I think of a frenchman. | Johan Wittholt (Sweden) | ||
| Dire Rea | An aptly-named collaboration for Dire Straits and Chris Rea. Please may it never happen. | Slinky J | ||
| Directions4Use | I was looking for a name for my band and found the 'Directions for use' list on the back of a shampoo bottle, and thought it would be funny cos its one of those 'last resort for a band name' kinda names. | Rat | ||
| Dirt for Sale | In the opening of "My Cousin Vinny" they're driving through some town and there's a sign that says "Dirt for Sale" and I thought that it sounded cool. I could just imagine doing one of those promotional things for a radio station and going "Hi, we're Dirt for Sale and you are listening to WLUP". | Natasha | ||
| The Dirt Salesmen on Crystal Meth | On World's Dumbest, comedian Brad Loekle refers to the person in a clip (more specifically, himself impersonating the dumb driver from the clip) as a "dirt salesman on crystal meth" | JeReMy | ||

| Dirty Brown Rice | I was looking for a name for our band. While I was out shopping, I noticed black-eyed peas on the shelf. I thought, 'I wonder if that's how they came up with the name'. Above the peas was a bag of dirty brown rice. | Jo Johnstone | ||

| Dirty Hedge | Just sat on my school bus trying to think of a band name....saw a hedge outside then looked at the ground..it was dirty!! and so the DIRTY HEDGE was born! | Will | ||
| Dirty Hot Pepper | Not only does this sound grotesque, but it comes from a quote from a band and the name of it as well. It is somewhat of a combination of a line that goes "Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?" with the name of the band that does it: Pepper. | Bucky McFuddy | ||
| Dirty Metro | I was wearing a shirt that had a map of the Washington DC Metro System on it, and I suggested the name "Metro". My friend added Dirty, and it didn't really work out (this was back in sixth grade), so it's still usable. | Dan | ||
| Dirty Ol' Trolls (D.O.T.) | This is what all the young, strong, handsome dudes of today will be in 30 or so years. Ladies, again you've been warned! (ref: D.O.T.) | Gary Gray | ||

| The Dirty Sanchez | I saw this name on south park and dodgeball and i thought it would be a cool band name me and my friends were going to use it until we found out what it means cool sounding name but it grossed us out when we found out the meaning. Want to know what it means? go to google and type in Dirty Sanchez | LjPCoKl | ||
| The Dirty Santas | Similar to the Dirty Sanchez. [Ed.'s note: The explanation can't be repeated on a family website. Sorry.] | Santos | ||
| Dirty Southern Barstards | It's different, well sort of. My mate and I made it up because we heard a band called the Dirty Northerners. We are from the south, so dirty southerners, but that don't sound write . Therefore, Dirty Southern Barstards!!! Weyyy | Jon | ||
| Disambiguation | Clarification that follows from the removal of ambiguity. And a sweet band name. | Jacob Goodfellow | ||

| Disaster Proof | I saw it on this home security sign in Miami, It said "Your house can be practically disaster proof!" | Womzee | ||
| Disasteroids | It just sounds cool and weird. Great name for a punk-band. | Zeqvardan | ||
| Disasterpeice | A great name I came up with through the Slipknot song 'Disasterpeice'. It would go great for a Slipknot cover band. | Scott | ||
| Disastrophe | Disaster + Catastrophe. This band would be so bad it'd take two words to cover how bad it is! | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Disbanded | Constant rejection from a member of our musical department at the school broke us apart and united us many a time. One day that that particular member asked us whether our band had given up and "disbanded". Well yes, our band name is now Disbanded. | Chumpy | ||
| Discipel | I got it off the brand of my friend's pants and I thought it would be a cool name for a heavy metal/ thrash metal band. | metalhead | ||
| Disco Bentley and the Hoedown Headbangers | I was putting some labels on boxes at work today and this popped into my head out of nowhere! Totally super random! | something clever | ||
| Disco Chev's Power Hour | My friend Chevy said had a group of real drunk girls convinced that he was the host of this fictional radio program. I feel it would work just as well as a band name. | Kramer | ||

| Discoball Chandelier | I wish I'd thought of this. I just heard this recently, it's a local band in the area where I live (so you can't use it!). I don't know what kind of music they play but I really like the name. | Edward | ||
| The Disease | Cool name for a punk band. Now we can see if The Cure is worse than them. | Brian Kelly | ||
| Disguised As Normal | To blend is to be, to be is to blend. I feel a lot of people just exist in this world and there are so many of what society sees as abnormal people, that the "normal" people now get overlooked. | DJ | ||
| The Dish Network Party Planners | Inspired from the Dish Network ad “When You Really Need TV”. If Dish Network can help with TV while five kids are inside a house while it’s raining, they can help make the party go smoother next time, too. | George&GermaineBriantFan | ||
| Dishes, Sand, Or Pets | I was on a field trip to a campground and old mine where visitors could pan for gold and other minerals. A sign on the wall in the restroom there read "No dishes, sand, or pets in the sinks". Suddenly I thought how that motley assortment could make for a "cool band name"! | Nicole Velocin | ||
| Dismal Aesthetics | The colour that you get when a streetlight shines on concrete, the network of pipes on the ceiling of a warehouse, modern-day undead, patched jeans and scuffed leather boots. It's all dismal but it all has its own sort of strange beauty. For my future industrial/metal/goth band, Dismal Aesthetics is the only suitable choice.... | Sniper Cie |
