Names -> Cool Band Names -> D, 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 D are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Draco Daemon | A good stage name for someone in a metal band. | Rachel | ||
| Drag Kings | Well its not drag queens so you are not gay or anything. It's different and it's just a pretty cool name for a band. | Nosnhoj | ||
| DRAGGINZ FYRE | i was trying to think of a name for my band and this what i came up with...i had just seen Styx and was playing around with words spelled with a Y. Coincidentally if you mis-spell STYX you could name your band XYST (exist) | mutheatreq | ||
| Dragonfly | Why hasn't some folk-rock thought of this? | Donovan | ||
| Drain Bamage | just reverse the b and the d and you get brain damage, cool huh? | Chris | ||
| Drain The Bloom | two nirvana songs combined....need i say more? | indeed | ||
| Drape Effect | I like it cause it's different and it sort of reflects on someone who isn't being open with others or w/e. I dont know it has alot of meaning to me. Well my friend liked the word Drape and I thought of it as a 'cover up' and then effect was it 'happening' or taking place. Really hard to explain. | PiNK LadiE | ||
| Drayage Charge | A drayage charge is another term for a delivery charge or a charge levied for use of a cart (or drayer). Think about all that equipment a group has to carry to venues around the world. Not a pretty sight. | hummer | ||
| Dread Pram | If you don't know, pram is short for perambulator, a primarily-British term for a baby carriage. There's something goth about those old-timey baby carriages. | Peter, Simon, and Toy | ||
| Dreadbolt Lock | An infusion of "dreadlock" and "deadbolt lock." Possibly good for a band with dreadlocked band members | Door into Summer | ||
| Dream Theater | "Dream Theater" is the best description for the kind of music they make, it just fits perfectly. Adds a lot of mystery. The depth of their playing and writing really makes you think of some ancient theater show. Plus, they are musicians you can dream of! | ttphone | ||
| Dreams Frozen Solid | Sorry, people. This one's not up for grabs. It's my band but since it's such a rad name for a Punk/ Emo band, I thought I'd put it on here. Every time I've tried to do something (well almost every time) I've messed up. All my dreams have been frozen. Get it? Dreams Frozen Solid. | Matt | ||
| Dress Code Violation | I was in the hallway at school and my principal started yelling "Dress Code Violation" like a psycho...good times, good times | Sara | ||
| Dreya's Mom | coz it is my daughters name Andreya and i sing back up for a band and if i ever get my own that is what it is going to be called | gloira | ||
| Dried Snot | I heard somewhere on the radio that this was what an R & B artist's former girlfriend said he smelled like. The jock was puzzled; he asked, "What does dried snot smell like?!!" | newave | ||
| A Drinking Man's Sex Symbol | A play on the phrase "A Thinking Man's Sex Symbol", starring a band whose members all dated overweight or ugly people. | less | ||
| Drive by Punch | It's the name of a local band and I can just picture these guys leaning out a car window doing a drive by...punch (hehe)--that'd be a funny album cover. | kasuald0rk | ||
| The Drive Home | i was on a drive home thinking about stuff and thought of it. used it for my band for a week or two but then they decided they wanted something else. so i came up with flatline. other good ones would be Fallout, The Weak, and Something More Strange | Flatline | ||
| Drive Like July | Its the best emo-acoustic band in Iowa haha, i dont know but its a cool sounding name | Jared Sealine | ||
| Driving Inferno | It's hot because it brings to mind a raging fire or complex sounds that intermesh into a force that destroys and tears down the old to make way for new life. | JW | ||
| Driving Jones From Janice | I dreamed I was in a rock bank. I sucked a playing the guitar but this was the name of the band I was in. It sounds kinda cool. | Scoop | ||
| Driving Kno-how | Well I am not old enough to drive but I have enogh "Kno-how" to do it. Althogh thats sounds lame for a band..pretty cool! | Minty | ||
| Dro-Gun | Saw it written in a textbook. Cool name for a rap group. | Snipe | ||
| The Droogs | If you've seen Stanley Kubrick's: "A Clockwork Orange," this name speaks volumes to you. But if not, its Russian for "friends." Burgess uses a lot of Russian+slang in the book, possible alternative would be "Droogies," many people would misinterpret this as meaning "drugs." Oh well! ...people! | Goodolarchie | ||
| The Drop Pockets | It's a joke my friends and I play on people. When someone passes by, you say "You dropped your pocket!" And they turn around and look. It's hilarious. How the heck can you drop your pocket? | rachel | ||
| Drop the Y | Well. I has two meanings. 1) is that don't ask any questions and 2) like when you are making something plural, drop the Y. We will probaly use it for our band. | punkrokr0578 | ||
| Drop Your Weapon | It came to me while thinking of nonsense. (as I usually do) I thought, hey, it could make a good band name. | Shido | ||
| Dropdead Twice | What my mother-in-law said to my father-in-law before they broke up. Sounds punk to me | Ted | ||
| Dropping The Soap | Inside joke with a few friends from school. Way too explicit for me to explain the meeting... | Junior | ||
| Drop~Down | I think the band name Drop~Down is really cool, but I don' really know why. It reminds me of dropping dead, though. I was trying to think of a band name for my band and randomly looked through a computer manual (don't ask me why). I found this and we used it. *Please don't steal it.* | Crawford | ||
| Drosophila | One of my first internet nicknames was drosophila. Few people actually knew it is the scientific name for 'fruit fly'. I was asked frequenly if I had a band and where I came up with the name drosophila. | Mercy | ||
| Drowning Lesson | It just sounds like one of those cool punk bands that your friends talk about and you just want to hear them. | lu lu | ||
| The Drowning Trouts | its a semi oxymoron and i was hyper when i thought of it...pretty cool, eh? | DREW | ||
| Drug Store Thieves | When addicts attack, old people beware! Thanks to our sponsors, CVS, Walgreens, and Pharmor. http://www.DSTrocks.com | Sam | ||
| Drug Users | Imagine what the band that plays before you would tell their family and friends "Yeah, we're supporting drug users" | Danny McNeill | ||
| Drugstore Masiah | Symbolizes the pharmacist's occupation due to the fact you can get some kick in drugs by prescription! | billy | ||
| Druncle Bud | I have a uncle thats name is Bud and he is a drunk that spends at least 40 hours a week in a bar so thats what we call him. | matt | ||
| The Drunk Math Teachers | This would be a good band name for a band that is made of math teachers. If that is possible. | Ryan C. | ||
| The Drunken Fish | I thought this name might be cool cause maybe you would be in a punk rock band. The symbol of this band would be the Christian fish with X's on his eyes and vomit near where his mouth would be. | Mr. T | ||
| The Drunken Nuns | I was trying to think of a name for my own band, and this one somehow popped into my head. I think it would be a great name for a "rockabilly" all girl band. | Hailey | ||
| Drunken Six | When I was doing a math problem once, I drew a number six rather sloppily, and one of my parents commented that it looked 'drunk.' I thought that would make a great name for a band. | Larcen Tyler | ||
| Dry Chemicals | We were naming random made up band names at lunch time one day. I looked at the fire hydrant and it said, "Danger: Dry Chemicals". I thought it was a cool Punk/Rock name. | Liam (The guy in the bright orange jacket) | ||
| Dry Forks | Dry Forks is a city name in Alabama. | Drey | ||
| Dry Ice | I thought it was cool because ice is made of water, so it's not dry. But also the actual dry ice chemically stuff makes a fog, so that's pretty cool. I think the band I'm in now is going to use it. | Gracie W | ||
| DryWall | Just looking around the room and thought it up..... I think it's pretty tight. | John Foster | ||
| DSFA | "DSFA, what does it stand for?" "It doesn't stand for anything" haha, DSFA, it literally Doesn't Stand For Anything | Andy B | ||
| Duc Tayped Zombies | Me and some people were hanging out and I had a shirt on that said "Duck Tape" with a duck taped to a wall, and I also had the RPG game "Zombies" with me. I combined the two, and changed the spelling of Duck Tape because of copyright issues. | Thunderbolt | ||
| Duck Butter | It sounds lurid and of course, it is. It's southern slang for smegma. Although that in and of itself is gross, it kind of has a sexy ring to it. | tim healy | ||
| Duck Hunt | The title of one of the first games released for the NES. They could do hard rock remixes of old Nintendo games, much like the Minibosses. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Duck Tape | It was the name that Blink 182 originally used when they FIRST started out. Nobody knew them back then, they were just another high-school band. Later they changed their name to Figure 8. That ones a good name as well! | Calista | ||
| Duck Weight | Obscure reference to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". The quote was, "If it weighs the same as a duck, it must be a witch." | DAVID HARGARTEN | ||
| Duck'd | The name of my company that makes stuff out of duct tape. | Spongebob SquarePants's Lady Friend | ||
| Ducks In Reverse | Me and my friend Brittany came up w/this when we were going on a walk. There was a little boy on a scooter thing quacking like a duck then he started backing up and going "beep beep beep". So I go..."Ducks in Reverse". Thats a cool band name. And Brittany's like "Yeah it is!! Thats gonna be our band name! Ducks In Reverse!" So it stuck. | Squatt | ||
| Ducks Under Ice | As many people know, this is from "The Catcher in the Rye" where Holden Caulfield is wondering where the ducks go when winter comes. It sorta describes our ska/punk/emo/core sound. | Biscuit McGee | ||
| Ducttape Bandages | From looking at a list of uses for duct tape, which suggested using it as a band-aid for really big cuts. That really amused me for some reason. | Subject to Change | ||
| Dude On Fire | When I put guitar hero world tour for the first time the randomized band name was this and when the logo came out it had a teddy bear on fire. I thought the logo went with the name | Albert | ||
| Dude's Old Car | My sister tells me that her favorite movie line is "Hey, isn't that Dude's old car?" She can't remember where it's from, though. | El Davo | ||
| Duderonomy | It would be a good name for surf-christian rock band. | Rachel | ||
| Dudes From Asflynx | It was a book I read. | Dudes from Pluto | ||
| The Dueling Doulas | This would rock: the band could actually sing duets while delivering babies onstage. Throw in some fire-breathing and strobe lights and you got yourself one sick rock show! | Jason Reeher | ||
| DUFI | Means "Dance, You F****** Idiots" Maybe for an alternative/dance band...first album could be "Two Left Feet", first single, "Spastic Twitching" | Syntania | ||
| Duge | I was really bored hanging out with my buds and one of their names is Doug. So I was like what if your name was spelled like this--- Dug. And it didnt look right and somehow added an E and got Duge (Doo-ge) | joe | ||
| Dugout Dads | A 40+ boy band for baseball fans. | Junior | ||
| duh0 | We were typing a story and accidentally put a 'zero' after 'duh'. | melanie | ||
| Duke | Ass Goblin | |||
| Dull Ginzu | Named after the greatest knife in the world: The Ginzu. But even a dull one can sever your finger. | chong | ||
| Dumphole | Just another alternative to "anus". | marfanXproxy | ||
| Dumpster Baby | It hurts, but you can't look away........ | Johnny Utah | ||
| Duodenum | Pronounced Doo-odd-numb. It's a part of the large intestines, i think. I learned it in my junior year of high school in my anatomy class. I thought is was such a cool word and name for a band now and 4 years later i still haven't gotten it out of my head. Just the way it looks is cool and then you say it and WOW the pronounciation is even cool! | Cristy | ||
| Dusty Mops Ruin Tara's Reputation | I lifted a dusty mop and Tara (some girl in my class) said dusty mops ruin her reputation.punk. | hamp | ||
| Dutch Rapists | My pal Kim's folks left her by herself for two weeks, and I was heading over one day so she said I could just come on in because she'd leave the door unlocked. I was like, but anyone could walk in! Then she said, "Well, I'll just leave a note then: Rapists go away!" The Dutch part comes from an aborted game of Trivial Pursuit. | Kristina | ||
| Duval's Finest | This is kool, because it would be the only band( rock) from duval.. It would be all Ghetto Girls who can reallt throw down and shake what there mommas gave them. This name came to be one day when I was watching Bet. It was a girl band on stage and they were rocking it and I said to myself if I ever had a band it would be called Duval's Finest cuz we all from DUVAL!!!!!!!!!!! | Katherine | ||
| The Dwayne Buttrocker Trio | It got your attention didn't it? | Dwayne | ||
| Dwindling Accounts | This was almost the name of our new wave band in the 80's after we purchased our PA! | gadriel | ||
| Dyce | Prefeably, an all-girl four-person band that dress like Kylie Minogue, and sing like Kelly Osbourne. Strange Combination! | Henry | ||
| Dying After You | After a pigeon dies, his/her mate will die after him/her. | axel | ||
| A Dying Art | In Fifa 06' the English narrator of the game says somthing like this, (with a British accent) "... some say dribbling is a dying art, but he... "blah blah blah..." I thought it sounded pretty badass! =P | Elver_Gudo | ||
| Dying Desire | it just sounds like a kick ass name.i came up with it when i was watching a documentary and this guy comitted suicide.I said i wonder if he had desire to die. thats how it came about | louie villegas | ||
| Dying Lachesi | We were desperate for something that wasn't too "The Blood Of The Velvet Moon, Of The Black Rose Vampire of Vampirya in TransTransylvania" TM, in brevis the typical bulls*** you get out of Goth/Metal bands. I was reading something about the Greek myth of the three Old Hags who Thread and Cut our destiny, and then it just popped that if one of them was to die, we'd have no destiny, so here goes. I think Lachesi is the one who actually knits the thread, but that was just a coincidence, it was just the name that I liked the most. By the way, the other two are Atropo and Cloto. | Krystal | ||
| Dylan Dog | This is the name of this really wierd Italian comic book about zombies and stuff like that, havent got a clue why its called Dylan Dog, still is got a nice punch to it. | Tom Holt | ||
| Dynamic Divas | I just figure it would be a good name for a female band about to hit their middle years. Destiny's Child on hormone replacement tablets? | Ms. Frisky | ||
| Dynamic Effect | Way back when I played the trumpet it was two of the pillars of a succesful performance, dynamic contrast and tonal effect. Great for Jazz or rythym bands | Sub Zero | ||
| Dynamic Equilibrium | Besides sounding cool, it connotes a sense of stability and level-headedness. And also that the band plays well together, of course. | kelpylion | ||
| Dynamite | I think it is cool because AC/DC plays a song called TNT. | joey chick | ||
| Dynamite Trend | It's in the song, "No Revolution" by The Explosion. | narayan | ||
| Dynamo Crap | I was holding a pair of sunglasses in my hand and, completely by accident, looked down at the writing on the inside of one of the earpieces. It read "DYNAMO C RAP." I have no idea what this means--the name of the style of sunglasses they were, I suppose--but the C and the RAP were just a tad too close. I started laughing and then realized that this would make a wonderful band name. | Rachel Amiranth | ||
| Dynimostia | I was just thinking of dynamite and thought it would be gay if I said that. So I just sort of twisted it. | JaCoBsOdA | ||
| The DYSL3XICS | The Dyslexics was mis spelled. | roger ekstrom | ||
| Dyslexic Dog | actually had a group called that in college. people thought it was stupid, but they remembered us easily | KP | ||
| Dyslexic Dog | Its a name for any band who thinks they are God like! | elzeed | ||
| Dyslexic Dog | This became an inside job at one of my old jobs. One of my coworkers was talking about his dog being diabetic - never knew that could happen anyway - and it came out of his mouth as "dyslexic", bringing on an endless stream of one liners. "Dyslexic dog barking....fra fra fra..." It's a great image. | Binnath | ||
| The Dyslexics | Finally a band that doesnt try to cover up their stupidity and illiteracy! Most bands couldnt even survive these days without their personal assisstants. Dyslexics of the world UNTIE! (yes i meant to spell it like that) [Ed.'s Note: Dyslexics are NOT stupid. They have a disease.] | Pigertaws | ||
| Dyslexics Untie | It's an old joke, but it would make a good band name. They could sing screwy lyrics and have an excuse. | GarfieldKB | ||
