Names -> Cool Band Names -> G, 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.

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Grinning Evil | I inspired the name off of those old 70s smiley-face posters that say "Have a nice day". I created a character out of that called Mr. Smiley, a smiley-face that has long hair, a human body, a sicko grin(many teeth), and is a metalhead. From this, I created the band name "Grinning Evil" because Mr. Smiley is an evil bastard. After that, I made Mr. Smiley the mascot of the band. Sounds like a great metal band, eh? | ironman | ||
| Griswald Splicers | ummm... its the old thing they used to make movies out of... where they would take film cut it, and splice in the new film. for editing.....It's really big and takes up the whole room. I remembered it one day when I was working a short film and I was on this movie program that took like 12 hours to figure out when I could have been working with the OL GRISWALD SPLICER!!!! | Hypno-Toad | ||
| The Grizzly Madames | My two friends, Adam and Matt, have beards and are searching for cool Band Names. They greated this one with fear and loathing. | steveg | ||

| Grohl | Because, at this point, Dave Grohl is a Rock God. Deal with it. | G | ||
| Groincough | its a nice way to say I've got wind | Stu | ||
| Groove Mother | It just sounds really funky for some reason. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| The Groovy Mother-Lovers | I think this is cool because it catches attention and wonders about the people's sanity. I came up with it when I thought about the 60's. | Hehehehehehehe... um hi | ||
| The Grosbeaks | Since there are numerous bird names for bands, including The Larks, The Sandpipers, The Flamingos, and The Eagles, here's another bird name I thought I'd suggest! | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Gross Anatomy | death metal band with pictures of deformed body parts as album covers. | sk flyers | ||
| Gross Genitalia & The Penetrators | group of us at school (a long, long time ago) came up with daft names for groups but this has to be the winner!! | Heavy Mental | ||
| Gross Quarters | You know how you'll put change in cupholders of your car? Well I did that and spilled some soda on the change, which was primarily quarters, and I picked one of them up, threw it, and said, "That was a gross quarter!" | Elizabeth | ||
| Grouch Potato | A play of words upon "couch potato". I've known some who fit this new term! | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Groucho Marx the Spot | I saw the band name The Groucho Marxists on a list online and thought of this | JeReMy | ||
| Ground Effect | Term In aviation - when you fly close to the ground an invisible cushion of air builds under the aircraft that increases lift and decreasing drag. Sound like a unique name for a band possibly with deeper meaning. | Sean Alexander | ||
| Ground Lava | Remember playing "The Ground Is Lava" as a kid? This name is a tribute to that. | Hawk | ||
| Ground Star | From an early '70s move, "The Ground Star Conspiracy." A band that's both down to earth and aimin' for the heavens! | Greg G. | ||
| Grounded | My friend and I have always dreamed of having our own band so we were thinking of band names one day and came of with this one. It means not fufilling your dreams, like your stuck on the ground and can't fly away and become sucessful. | Alicia | ||
| A Group Of Guys | Another cool, generic name. | Kevin Hate | ||
| Growling Ferret | Just visualize a growling ferret! It's hilarious! The cover of the CD would have this demented rodent on it: excellent! | Unicorn | ||
| Gruesome Acoloyte | Good name for a heavy metal band. I ran across the phrase in an article criticizing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and stating that he is a "gruesome acolyte" of Justice Antonin Scalia, who is extremely conservative. | Mel S. Hutson | ||
| Grumpy Old Ladies | Hey, if there's two movies starring Grumpy Old Men, why not a band called Grumpy Old Women?! You see them everyday, so why not give em' some credit?! Eh?! | 14 Magnum | ||
| Grumpy Thunder | Me and some friends were thinking of band names, so we decided to name one adjective and one noun in 5 seconds... | Jay89 | ||
| Grumpéd Lüngeinch | Sitting around trying to come up with a name can be hard. Stumped for names i asked some of my friends for different things; a color, an adjective, a verb, a noun. I got Green, elongated, jump, and bench. Mashing these together and adding accents and umlauts lead to this band name. | Gabriel | ||
| Grupp SEX | In Swedish, number 6 is spelled, S-E-X. "Grupp" means group,gang, mob or team. Grupp SEX is like have a group with 6 members. But Grupp SEX also means (what it sounds like) in Swedish. | Jonathan | ||
| Guarantee | Guarantee....a black r&b group. KInd of like TLC or Blaque! Several young black women are guarantee-ing that they are going to be something someday! They guarantee their success! | Pigertaws | ||
| Guarda Le Fe | Meaning "Keep the Faith" in Spanish, it would be an awesome name for a Christian Rock Band. There are many Christian Rock Bands out there whose names have subtle origins in Christianity itself (EX. Casting Crowns) that "Keep The Faith" would be perfect. | swb1003 | ||
| Guardians of Darkness | When me and my fiance got together, I used to call him my dark angel, he called me his dark fairy. He is my guardian and we are of the darkness. | Fairy of the Darkness | ||
| Guardrail | why not? I was talking to a guy that who had been in a band named Diamond Back and was now in a band named Black Horse and I said "Why not name yourself something totally generic like Guardrail." | IceCrmMan | ||
| Guess Wot I'm Eating? | My friend and I were checking out this site while chatting online, and we were going through all the ones we liked. Then I was eating a really nice apple crumble, and I said 'guess wot i'm eating?', and then realised she might have thought that was another band name- then I realised it actually was a pretty good one... | goofy monkey child | ||
| The Guidelines | I was reading the back of a soup tin. | jeff | ||
| The Guilty Parties | I came up with it one day while i was watching CourtTV....Enough said | Jorge | ||
| The Guinea Pigs | People who volunteer for experimental testing are called Guinea pigs. Of course, they would also be an experimental rock band. | Francis A. Sissy | ||
| The Guise | The dictionary classifies the term "guise" as being of that of a hidden personna. To be withdrawn socially. It would work out great for a band who idles bands like Slipknot or Mushroom Head. One who is willing to wear a mask up on stage. Cuz you would then be indisguised. | hahanincumpoop | ||
| Guitar Burn | Similar to rug burn. Generally affects the fore-arm area. Some specialists attribute it to sweat, friction and intense rocking. | pop_tart | ||
| Guitar Mole | Last night I had a dream where I woke up and the ground was shaking with loud metal music playing. I then went outside, saw a mole hill, dug it up, and saw some moles with miniature guitars and drum set. I then came up with this great band name. | Lori Blonde | ||
| Guitarded | Somebody used this in their signature on FF.Net as an answer to the riddle/question "What do you call a broken guitar?" I figure it could work for a guitar-based band that sucks on purpose. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| The Gulates | Actually a nonsense word. "Ungulates" means hoofed animals, from Latin ungula, for hoof. But if one mistook the word ungulate as beginning with the prefix "un", one might get the idea that "gulates" are the opposite of ungulates. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Gummehbearz/gummybears | i was eating gummybears and it just came up in my mind | anonymous | ||
| Gung Ho | firends were starting a "punk band"...you know, like New Found Glory? LOLOLOLOL anyway....we were going threw a list of ideas...i said that, and i think that might be what they're going with. Wished i hadn't said it, maybe a decent band coulda used it ; ) | Danny | ||
| Gung-Ho | Uncritically patriotic, zealous, devoted or belligerent, from the Chinese 'ken- ho' meaning awe-inspiring or literally 'more fiery'. | Jona | ||

| Gunning Sun | What if the sun suddenly exploded? Then bits of fire would fall around the Earth wouldnt it? | UroKazi | ||
| Gunpoint Supremace | Resistance is useless! | AwesomeCasper | ||
| Guns & Moses | You could have a Rabbi with a gun belt for your logo. | Rich | ||
| Guns 'N' Moses | It's a play on Guns 'N' Roses. The album cover could be a rabbi with two Uzis. | Anthony | ||
| Guns Beat Knives | We were in the park one day and my mate was being a smart aleck. He found some guy sleeping in a ute. My mate picked up a stick and pretended it was a gun and snuck over to the ute. As he was sneaking up, the bloke in the ute saw him and threatened him with a knife. My mate with his stick pointing at the bloke shouted "Guns beat knives," and ran away. I think the phrase sounds cool for a band name. | owen | ||
| Guns Like Ciggarettes | I made this up by listening to The Pretty Reckless, It's kinda cool I guess. I was thinking of changing my band's name into this one but F.A.R Fetched is good enough. | Ian Marie | ||
| Gunsmith | I combined the names of "Guns and Roses" and "Aerosmith". | Max | ||
| Gunstar Heroes | hey this was an old game for the nintendo...i would use it if i had a a band | uhhhhh i forgot | ||
| Guruguru Tea Party | "Guruguru" is the sound spinning is supposedly supposed to make. I liked the idea of, "Spinning Tea Party", but it sounds too dull by itself. | Jenn and Samu | ||
| The Gut Busters | A good name for a parody band. A gut buster is someone that makes you laugh so hard, your sides blow up. | Rocky VIII | ||
| Gutter Chicken And The Fortunate | Well think about it...a chicken lying in the gutter and some rich guy with money ? Dont ask me how i came up with it ...i just did | Lord Bailey | ||
| The Gutter Punks | It's the name of a bowling team- from a CD by Me First and the Gimme Gimme's, but I think it would be a pretty cool name for a band. | burt | ||
| Guy Dance | A play on the word "guidance", which I considered using as a disc jockey name until some people said it sounded too "gay". | Guy | ||
| Guy Smiley | It's a character from "Sesame Street". | Dave | ||
| The Guy-Bies | It was the name of Robert Webb's imaginary gang on 'Would I Lie To You?', and I thought this would make a great name for an indie band of the gay/bi persuasion. | pickle | ||
| Gym Socks | This name is cool just because you can spell it wrong in so many ways (Jim, Jym, Sox, etc.). Also if you really hated the band you could say "Hey! Those Gym Socks stink!" except that your friends would make fun of you for such a lame joke. | Knumb Prodigy | ||
| Gynormica | Its like gigantic, enormias, and a "ica" at the end for style. Kinda like Metallica. But a little different in some ways. Overall, its just a little like Metallica. | AJ of the WB |
