Names -> Cool Band Names -> I, 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.

I.Q. For any of you tiny-bopping boy bands or boy band lovers. It really a joke becuse to make a song for a boy band takes none of this. And even the when someone says boy (band) it's pollitically incorrect because a band consists of the artists play an instrument.  ziggy

Ibrox It is a football (soccer) stadium in Glasgow, but it sounds simple and powerful tonio

Ice Cube Oven I once took a look in an oven to see if my cookies were ready, but they were stone cold. I remarked that the oven must be made of ice cubes; the sides were dripping but everything was cold. For instant band name, just add witty comment. Blossom

What a great band name that would be! ( i was in a band at that time making a list of band names 'cause i didn't like "The Three Musketeers". Its awesome because it doesn't give you a headache thinking about it and it doesn't copy anything. P.S. This band name is taken by my band so don't try stealing it. Flax

Now, White's out of the NFL, but Stewart and Williams still changed nicknames...now they are "Double Trouble", which won an online fan vote. JeReMy

Idiot Box An episode of 'SpongeBob SquarePants' Belinda Trucklisle
Idiot Hole Lollipop Skull It was an insult that my friend Rob came up with when we were little. It just seemed like such a mean thing to call someone. Plus the band could have a cool abbreviation. IHLS Lonnie
The Idiots idk dane
IDK Was texting and it came to me. NICKI
Idle Threats I have a friend that's in this immature band, and they're all still in highschool. I haven't heard of this one before, and it'd be good (it is) for a punk band. Mia

Igneious Rocks Instead of igneous rocks it's igneious rocks. It's a play on words sort of thing. J

Igneous Dungeon I was just thinking about Dungeons and Dragons for some reason one time and I thought of this name for some weird reason.... Mister McHippie
Ignia Comes from the Latin word "ignius," meaning "fire." Rachel
Ignorance & Apathy I got this name from this joke: "What is the difference between ignorance and apathy? A:I don't know and I don't care." The punchline would describe half of the rap, hard metal, and techno groups out there.  hardrock
Ignore My Acne I'm sure everyone has wished at least once that others would do this. It would be nice to have a band that acknowledges this unspoken wish. Alicia Ant
Igor Sikorsky's Wicked Hangover Hey, just because he invented the helicopter doesn't mean he couldn't enjoy a little imbibery every now and then... Ryan Massengill

ILieTooMuch So I was scrolling through this page and decided to do this I thought it would be cool because of the spelling (having no spaces because other than that It's spelled right) and because for me It's true. I feel like it would be really good for a Gen Z band. Kachow

Ill Fate Ever think of dying from an illness? Katie L.
Ill Met By Starlight "Ill Met By Starlight" is the title of a Ranma 1/2 fanfiction written by Mike Loader and Susan Doenime. If you don't know what Ranma 1/2 or fanfiction is, all you need know is Ranma 1/2 is an anime, and fanfiction is a story written by a person using characters and settings of a series. I love this name because it doesn't have any real meaning, and sounds really pretty and mysterious. The Talk Of The Town
