Names -> Cool Band Names -> G, 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.

The Glass Is Half Empty Well, I thought of this because I just brought a band together an we was (still are) havin some SERIOUS trouble thinkin of a name an I just said, " Well I guess for us the glass is half empty..." then it slapped me in the face an I just thought it was a really great name. =D pyroidiot<---------
Glass Onion This name should be revived. It's also a Beatles song. JMU grad
Glitched It's cool because, it's a one basic comment. It will keep you thinking. People will ask themself what it means. I was recording when I came up with the name. My Mackie 24 track seemed to have had a problem and my friend Mike said it was "glitched." I went from there. Brady
Glitter Makes You Shiny I was trying to think of band names for my new band, and all of a sudden I thought of pixies. ( God help my sanity) The I thought pixies are shiny. GLITTER MAKES YOU SHINY! Its obvious, stupid, and you know there are some people who would pour glitter on themselves. I however doubt we will use the name.  Kris
Global Gore I came up with this name thinking about wars and gang violence. Jorge
Global War on Music Trying to think up a good name for a Death Metal/Cyberpunk band that I'm thinking of starting. Also, it's topical. Chris Oakley

The Gnome Gnats Well after they played one night at a Nogales hot spot. Nature called and they stopped at a desert canyon right on the Mexican border. They faced south and began yelling out to hear their echos. Finally one of the guys yelled NUMB NUTS and soon from the south the echo returned GNOME GNATS, and the rest could be history. Badboybear

Go-Cart Mozart From "Blinded By The Light" (Springstien/Manfred Mann) I think there must be a hundred great sounding names in that song.... If you could catch all the lyrics !! Steve Dunkley

Going Nova On a computer game, somebody says 'going over' but it sounded like 'going nova'. Henry
Gold Topaz This was inspried by another name on the cool band name list. Someone had come up with the name Silver Electric, so I figured I could come up with something to go with gold, and this is what I got. I just like the way it flows off the tongue Ed
Gold-Knub I was looking at my door. It has a golden Knob. I changed the o into a u because i was thinking of a midget with a golden knub where his little tiny hand should be! Kevin Schulte
The Golden Avacados It's cool because it has no hidden meaning, but it sounds like it might. Ishkabible

The next thing I could think of him to say was "look, sonnys, it's a Goldfish Tornado!" and then laugh in some old man maniacal laugh. I think it would be a good name for a band. Kinda punk, kinda garage-metal. Shawn the Parrothead
Goldy Lox and The Three Gay Pigz I came up with it, when i just got confused between children fairy tales. FreakyDeaky
Golf Cart Supremacy Picture a golf cart pawning a monster truck. I came up with this after hearing about this Korean kid from Florida who was hitting on my sister. My friend telling about some titles of Helloween's albums. The Korean kid made me think of doing drive-bys on a golfcart with Mickey Mouse ears. He said that in Florida, the gangsters are all real, while in NY, they are all posers. The names Helloween came up with for their albums sorta warped my mind. Jack Rittymanee
Golgotha I made this up, it's to do with death and religion, perfects for rock bands. Uniquesox
Goliath The mythical 9 foot tall man that David defeats in battle as told in the Bible. It also means huge or enormous; it kind of has a ring to it, like behemoth. josh niwot

Leme give you some imagery: You're in a packed club and a band is playing onstage..youve missed their name..so you ask the person beside you, screaming over the ear abusing music, 'What's this band called?' he, hearing your question, nods and shouts back, 'Good Question!' it could be BEAUTIFUL man...just don't knock it till ya try it. Murray
The Good Things I love Fall Out Boy and their song "My Heart is the Worst Kind of weapon". In that song it says "you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat." yup. Thats my reason. Bob

Goodie Poets My friend and I always go over to this chicks house and they're always saying how good we are. That we never get into trouble and such. Anyways, my boy said yeah, we the goodie mob. But since that name was taken by a rap group we changed it to the Goodie Poets.  Rebel With A Cause

Grandma Swears > Me Not to be redundant, but COME ON! How weird would it be if the members of the band had grandmothers that swore more than them? This was inspired by my backwards life.
