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.
Entries starting with D are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| 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 | ||
| 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 | ||
| Disney For Adoption | Okay, in a bunch of disney movies the main character is missing a parent. I thought it sounded cool and the acronym is DFA like FDA (federal Drug Association) ill prolly use it for my band but it sounds cool. | Grace S. | ||
| Disney Jerk Reaction | The term to describe the National Hockey League's decision to place ANOTHER ice hockey team in southern California based on a crappy "Mighty Duck's" fad, that lasted a whole three years. | princejellyfish | ||
| Disposible Heroes | Im not sure but i think its a manson song,any way i was looking for some tabs for hell is for heroes,and on a web site that pop'd up it said "disposible heroes" and i thought i sounded cool | bobs hair peice | ||
| Disquite Thoughts | It's just realistic. I mean everyone gets anxiety (that's what disquite means) and it leads into a thought. Even though the band I'm in rejected it, I think it has a nice kick to it. | knight | ||
| Dissectional Sheep Spleen | Good name for one of those crappy death metal bands who try to have gross names but just turn out sounding stupid | skippy | ||
| The Distant Strangers | This band name is for all the people you pass by everyday not knowing who they are. Well these people made something of themselves and formed a band -the coolest band ever. | Adam James | ||
| Disterious | When my friends and I were in grade school, we were planning on having an all-girl punk band. We thought of this name: it was disaster mixed with mysterious. | dreamer4darkness | ||
| Distorted | I just kept thinking of like a heavy overdrive blasting out of a speaker to thousands of fans, thier faces distorted, the sound distorted, its on a level. | nathan | ||
| Distortion | Like the effect on some guitar amps, I thought this would be a cool name. | Jacob M. | ||
| Distortion And The 60 Cycle Buzz | I’m a sound tech. These are common sound problem characteristics. | George Perfect | ||
| The Distribution of Pegs | I was asked to hang out the washing, and i was out at the clothesline, and i noticed there were heaps of pegs on the back lines, but hardly any on the front lines. I thought the distribution of pegs on this line is really bad...so then i thought that could be a good band name...so i'm gonna suggest it to my band...Don't take it! | hehehehehe... | ||
| Disturbance Of Pulse | It's cool because like a disturbance in your pulse might represent someone dying; and it would be a good name for a death metal band. I was trying to think of a name for a character on a game. And this is what I came up with when I was listening to Disturbed. | A7X fan | ||
| Disturbed Under License | IT'S MINE, DON'T TAKE IT! I was reading this label and it said "Distributed under license by Midway games" or something like that, and I accidentally read it "Disturbed under license" and I thought, 'Oh, that's way cool for a band name.' And now, it is my band name. | Josh | ||
| Disturbing Behavior | It sounds pretty cool. I got it from the movie of the same name. | cody meier | ||
| The Disturbing Overtones | Or the Ominous Overtones. Or, for an R&B edge, the Racial Overtones. The cliche's already musical; why not make music with it? | Reg C泡r | ||
| Disturbing The Peace | This would be a cool name for a garage band. Im in a band and the cops came when we were playing in my bassist's garages and we got a warning for disturbing the peace. So for any punk rock garage band this is a cool name. | tommyboy | ||
| Disturbingly Honest | I came up with this name when my friend Mary was telling me off and then she said I am just being honest and everyone else said yea disturbingly honest so I think it has a really nice edge to it. | Emily | ||
| Disuasion Utrecht | Dunno. Just sounds good. One of those out of the blue type deals | Paul V Rom | ||
| Ditch Lillies | While we were driving, a friend of mine said look at those ditch lillies. She explained that they were wild lillies that you mainly see blooming in ditches on the side of the road. This website came to mind and I thought it was worth sharing as a cool band name. | RAW | ||
| Divide By Zero | It's the band that breaks every established rule and should not even exist....but it does. | Damien Bloodlust | ||
| Divided We Stand | My friend thaught of this name right after bush was re-elected. we stand diviede not united. ps. president bush is an oxymoron. | Marshal Mamo | ||
| The Dividing Line | This is a name for a Genesis song, and I thought it's perfect for a rock band! | Joey Thomas | ||
| Divine Infestation | Cool name....Christian Death Metal! | Belinda | ||
| The Divorced | its kind of a weird story a bunch of kids in my neighbourhood their parents were all getting divorced and then i just thought of the Divorced.....it would be a good name for maybe a metal band..who are p***ed at their parents. | T-Bone | ||
| Dizzy Fat | Again, the double adjective thing is pretty cool. And just thinking about what this could mean makes me laugh | Rae | ||
| DJ Cashew | Really, it's an inside joke. Someone I know has a nickname, DD. Easy corruption to DJ, and I added on Cashew because it's another nickname for DD. One-man band. The lead singer should be a perv... | therealdeepblue | ||
| DJ Pee Pants | A demon/rapper/old man/cow from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Just life imitating art. | paco | ||
| Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? | It's the name of the story that the movie Bladerunner is based on (by Phillip Dick). But it also would be a pretty cool band name. | The Crow | ||
| Do Not Press The Red Button | Me and my friends did a play in primary school with this in haha. | I like dots...........C: | ||
| DOC | Originally stood for Dorothy On Crack. Long story having to do with an unfortunate "Wizard of Oz" impression. | Rosie | ||
| Doctor Octopus | I was trying to come up with a good band name -- going through doctor this, doctor that. My 4-year old son had recently watched Spiderman 2 & yells out, "How about Doctor Octopus!!!" I thought it sounded catchy & am still considering it. | Mike | ||
| The Dodecahedrons | The Dodecahedron has been a source of metaphysical interest for at least 2000 years. Like a crystal or gem, its facets and symmetries compel our eyes and hearts to observe life more deeply. Some have believed that the Dodecahedron represents an idealized form of Divine thought, will, or idea. To contemplate this symbol was to engage in meditation upon the Divine. Today many people believe there is a lost knowledge residing in the past, slowly being rediscovered. It is known that figures like Pythagoras, Kepler, and Leonardo, among many, were educated in these Sacred Geometries, and held many beliefs about them and their role in the Universe. | tH | ||
| Dodge Factor | my lead guitarist came up with it. It means when their is a 'f****y' chick and she just doesn't 'cut it' you call her 'dodge factor' meaning she's 'not good' and to.. STAY AWAY !!!!! | Lee | ||
| The Dog Ate My Panties | Or The Dog Ate My Underwear, depending on who's in the band. Once I couldn't find any underwear (I was like 4 at the time). I had to go pantyless to ballet class. I was remembering that and I was all like "Haha, the dog ate my panties that day.", which is doubly funny because we didn't have a dog then. | rachel | ||
| Dog K-Rap | Well actually my dad came up with it while I was trying to think of band names imagine this: "Hey guess what! I am soooooo lucky I have Dog K-Rap on my shoes!!" firend looks at person weirdly "What did ya step init ? Dont worry it happens"...... | Kali | ||
| Dog Section | Saw it on a police vehicle in London. Sounds like a college rock band being ironic about their luck with women. | Gary | ||

| Dog's Lingerie | I was sat at home smoking DMT and listening to Jane's Addiction, and suddenly these letters jut fell out of the speakers . When they reformed they spelt out "dog's lingerie" , and it was the coolest name for a band I've ever heard . | Xeno | ||
| Dogfood Gangstas | It's from the comedy site www.homestarrunner.com. In one section, the character Strong Bad answers people's E-mails, and "Dogfood Gangstas" is the result of his misunderstanding of somebody's gangsta-esque closing. It cracked me up, and then I thought, "That's a band name right there." | Da Phoenix | ||
| Doggy Style Circus | I was working in Uncle Sams Naval Canoe Club and different departments of the ship got bombarded by massive amounts and work. I made the comment to a friend that as much BOHICA that is going on today it looks like a Doggy Style Circus act. | TonyDaProducuh | ||
| Doglips | It's what this guy in work calls everyone coz he can't remember names. Just thought it would make a better band name than what he calls everyone he doesn't like (Scrote Throat). | Doe Bathory | ||
| DogPile | I LIKE PUPPIES!!! | Chevalier | ||
| Dogs of War | I was looking at my dog. And then I started to think about tings that will sound cool with the word dogs in it. So I came up with Dogs Of War. It's cool because It is unique. There are no bands with that name, and it sounds catchy. | Sean | ||

| Dolarhyde | It is from RED DRAGON. Francis Dolarhyde, a friend of Hannibal the Cannibal. He also did some vicious things {he bit the tongue off a reporter, and gutted him with a linoleum knife}.

KITH has introduced me to two other cool band names: Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (real), and Rod Torfelson's Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuck (fictional). | Kath | ||
| Donny and the Manwhores | there's this guy i know named don he has a very, shall we say, interesting group of friends, which we refer to as the manwhores | maeve | ||
| Donut Faces | It's cool because all of us in the band stuff our faces with donuts all day. My father owns a cake shop, so we thought that would be a good idea. I don't know if anybody else does, but it's really funny to us. | lozzy | ||

| DopeFish Lives | DopeFish is a notorious easter egg (hidden part in games) character. You often find posters in games that say "DopeFish Lives" in many games. Good for a geeky guitar type band (e.g. Weezer). Maybe their first single could be "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"... | Tony | ||

Thusly, "Dorks On Speed". This guy on some site that archives zany videogame quotes said it would make a kickass band name. | H Hog | ||

| The Dot Commies | both 60s and 90s at the same time (like Austin Powers). But it's probably already been taken... | Andrew | ||

| Dr. Glove | KInda like mr. hand job except less obvious | Ariella | ||
| Dr. Graffiti and The Men's Room | Simon and Garfunkel got it wrong in their classic song "The Sounds of Silence" - the words of the prophets are not written only on the subway walls.....check out any men's room..... | Johnny D | ||

| Dr. Wagner Jr. | 90% of Mexican Wrestlers, or Luchadors, have names that would be totally sweet for rock groups. I choose Dr. Wagner Jr., the mad doctor of the CMLL. | Chris Awesome |
