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

| 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 | ||
| Endoplasmic Reticulim | You have to say it really fast for it to be cool. It's a part of a cell, I think the part that allows compounds into the mitochondria, which is like the stomach of the cell that gives it power. I think. 9th grade was a long time ago. Anyway, when he taught the class, he said that he always thought that endoplasmic reticulim would be an awesome band name, and when he said it he did this little air guitar thing and made us laugh. If a really awesome band had this name, you would just make Mr. Roe's dream come true. | Shawnama | ||
| Endorphin Donor | We learned in health that when u have sex, both the man and woman's brain releases a chemical called "endorphins" into your brain, and these are the chemicals that control pleasure and happiness.

| Entertain Me, Virginia | Stumbling early into the morning, I realized I was basically a zombie; but instead of brains, I sought entertainment. I wanted to tell someone to "entertain me ;_;" but they were all asleep. So it kept repeating in my head. Virginia, because its a kickass name, but it could also mean a state. It makes it sound like there is a story behind it. | Amara V | ||

So I added the word "reality," and said, "what the heck, I'll just put the two together!" Thus, Ethereality. It's mine, though. Copyrighted. I've already composed a track list for my first album. | Shae | ||

| The Excess | It's an awesome name for a band. I don't know how to explain what it means. I guess it means it's not like any other band, because most bands are all alike and they are the excess, the leftover part. Well, let's say there was a piece of dough, and you take a star (or heart or tree or etc) shaped cookie cutter and you press down and cut out a lot of shapes. Those parts that you cut out signifies most bands today, they're all similar. This band is made up of the excess (the leftover dough). Makes sense? Probably not, but it does to me. | Kirah | ||
