Names -> Cool Band Names -> E, Page 1
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 E are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3

| Eating Is Cheating | Heard someone at the Glastonbury festival on the radio talking about how they managed to go all weekend without food or sleep - their exact words were 'Sleep is for wimps and eating is cheating.' Not a great lesson for life but could make a decent band name. | Slinky J | ||

| Edumacated Peeple | I had a friend who couldn't say educated and always ended up saying edumacated... i thought of this while we were watching t.v. and my friend said look at all the edumacated peeple! and I thought it would make a good band name. And people spelled wrong...very "edumacated", don't you think? | miya | ||

| Effer | All those annoying kids that never say f***er say muther effer. | Nina Cayley | ||
| Efil Drawkcab | It's "Backward Life" spelled backwards. This is inspired by a few things. The first is how I live what I like to call a "backward life"(long story).

The fourth is that I can read and write backwards and my father and I sometimes think backwards. | 300 Bernard St. Girl | ||

| Ego Jan and the Rhinos | From a misheard lyric in "Big Ol' Jet Airliner" by the Steve Miller Band. They could perform Steve Miller Band covers, and have a narcissistic female lead singer. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Ego-Statistical | This would be appropriate for a group of vain math majors... | Sycoceramic | ||
| The Egregious Personalities | Definite 70's-style punk band name. Negative attitude all over it. I got from watching League of Gents a bit much. | gla | ||
| Eight Eye | My friend plays the cello, and I want to learn guitar, so we were joking about weird bands. We're 'smart kids' and we both have really terrible eyesight, you know, four eyes. So, four eyes+four eyes=eight eyes, and that has the whole arachnid aspect (spiders)... | Miss K. | ||
| Ekno Tank | I saw a Econo Lodge and I mispronounced it and then I saw a big green tank and put them together to get Ekno Tank. | PuffDaddymac | ||

| Electric Charity | It's a play on "electric chair". That is one reason it is cool. I came up with it at my old job (that I got laid off from - so don't try and come up with band names at work). Another reason it is cool - it sounds like the band would be giving something away, which I think is true with music. Bands do give something away to listeners (yes, even though we pay to listen - except for those no good piraters, you know who you are). | steven kent | ||

| Eleven Moves | This band name is that of an indie hardcore band from Ontario, Canada. It was inspired by the book, "Through the Looking Glass". It represents the various choices, or 'moves' in one's life, and that as long as the right ones are made, success will follow. | Stew420 | ||
| Eleven Plus Two - Twelve Plus One | Well 'Eleven plus two' is an anagram of 'Twelve plus one' and both of those sums total 13, With is kind of cool to me. | sEdDiM | ||
| Eleventy | Me and my friend have a joke, we're each other's "bestest friend times eleventy million". | Junior | ||
| Eli Gojumpski and the Avenging Unicorns | I came up with it because Eli Gojumpski is a moniker I adopted for doing a different musical act than I normally do. My friends started making a web comic that chronicled the three of us, and they named my character Eli Gojumpski, and named my band the Avenging Unicorns, after a joke-toy I got for Christmas. | Weegil | ||
| Elicium | Elicium is the place where the dead goes to in Greek mythology. | Nijo Lawrance | ||
| Elijah's Manna | It was Post Grape Nuts' original name. | hamp | ||
| Elle Woods | Character from legally blonde but I thought it would be a death/thrash metal band as well. Influences from At the Gates, Dismember, Slayer, Morbid Angel with indecipherable logo. | DanTheMan | ||
| Elle Woods | character from legally blond but this version would probably be old school style thrash/speed/death metal. Influences such as early Slayer, At the Gates, Dismember, early Fear Factory, and Napalm Death. | John McAllister | ||
| Ellesar | It's a crazy sounding name in my opinion, but I have to give it up to J.R.R. Tolkien, it's from the Lord of the Rings. | Chris S. | ||
| Ellie's Grace | It's my name and my best friend's name. I reckon it's got a nice ring to it. :) | ellie | ||

| Elvis Ate My Baby | I think this was sorta a derivative of "The KKK took my baby away" .. however that works | Skitty D | ||
| Elvis Ate My Baby | Beacuse he would eat anything! What did Elvis do before he died? He dropped a Rock and then he Rolled (get it he died on the can?). [Ed.'s note: Apparently not an Elvis fan. :rolled eyes:] | turntable | ||
| Emanon | It's "No Name" spelled backwards. This is for bands with backmasked songs. | Mike | ||
| Embrace The End | Sounds sick-nasty, a very good name for a style of music that is usually dark (Death metal, Grindcore, Black metal) | T J | ||
| Emerson's Picnic | Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous Transcendentalist poet. Adapated after the "Marcy's Playground" form, with a touch more philosophy to it. | Aurelius Caulfield | ||

| EMO | This is a cool band name because I started a club at school and called it E.M.O, it stands for Everybody Must Obey, see? EMO! It'd be cool as a band name because, you know, everybody must obey you and your band! | SaMmIe | ||
| Emo At The Gig | I guess it came from Panic! At The Disco. We needed a funky name and since Panic! re an emo band. We decided to do that. We changed the word "disco" to "gig" because it was still kinda obvious. The name isn't great...but it'll do. | TheMuseDude | ||
| Emotion Engine | It's the name of the PS2's video procesor. | John | ||

| Empathy For My Enemy | At the very least, we should try to experience this. But don't lose focus, still kick their butt. After all it's what they expect & deserve. Then when they're down, forgivness toward them will come. That itself is your reward. | Gary Gray | ||
| Emperor | Often called the Mettallica of black metal. cool name | Johnny Lewin | ||
| THE EMPRA CURSE | chriz | |||
| Empty 3 | A play on "MP3", the computerized song playing thingamadoojy. Perfect for grunge rock bands waiting for their genre's comeback. | hardrock | ||
| Empty Argony | Well I'm building a car, and my welder ran out of Argon. It was really annoying because I was in the middle of something. It was a Sunday and I couldn't get it refilled. So in essence, it was agony not to be able to keep working. At the same time, it sounds like an empty argument which would be one with no point except to argue. Therefore pointless. | OOglebooze | ||
| THE EMPTY SUSHI | just kinda came to me at a random time when i was trying to think of a new band name instead of "undoing ruins" | AWSOME GUITAR DUDE | ||
| Empyreal | The definition of empyreal is "Of or relating to the heavens/sky" or "inspiring awe". I was looking for the definition of sublime and I came across that... I think it'd rock as a christian band, or a band with Christian values. | Janna | ||
| Emulsion | It's some science term that means one liquid floating on another. --It sounds so cool though | Jonathan | ||
| Encroypto | I was watching the movie "Apocalypto", and my friend was talking about encryptions. Then I put the two together, and it became a perfectly decent band name. | big man | ||

| End Transmission | It's my political rock band inspired by Rage Against the Machine. | Stui | ||
| Endanera | Hopesfall has a song called " The End of an Era " and that's the best song name in the world, so I transformed it. This name should be used for hard rock bands that sound like Tool, Meshuggah, Pulse Ultra, or Project 86. | Trent Estrada | ||
| Endangered Feces | Me and one of my friends were trying to come up with a name for a comedy band and this one came out. (NOTE: If you didn't know, feces is a fancy word for crap) | White Mystery | ||
| Endearing Gandy's | Music for beggars. [Ed.'s Note: There once was a service station in my neighborhood called Gandy's (Standard) Amoco. As soon as the merger between BP and Amoco became final, Gandy's shut down and was razed due to BP's desire for convenience stores.] | hugh askew | ||
| Endeavor | It means an attempt to do something or to strive for success. It is presently my bands name now, so don't steal it. Kick a** for a metal band, in my opinion. | Steve |
