Names -> Cool Band Names -> I, 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.

Name
 
Origin
 
Submitted by:
Incognizant It means "lacking knowledge or awareness; unaware." johnny's girl
Incomplete Dominance Well, it just plain sounds cool, but its literal meaning is when two alleles (visible traits from genes) have no dominance in each other, so when the 2 genes are put together, their features combine. For instance, when a red flower and a white flower have offspring, it will be pink. Sorry, that explaination was lame. Dillon
Inconspicuous Flowers It sounds enticing, and the chicks like it. I misheard a line from a play once, and that was what I thought I heard. The line was really, "prospective powers," from some guy called Edward Albee. Moonvolt
The Incredible Five-Cent Sugar Rockets It's a type of modle rocket, instructions here: http://ai.chem.ohiou.edu/~tip/specific/nickle.html Makes me think of a band like Neutral Milk Hotel. alchemist
Inde Inde is an old Apache word that means "The People" I learned that in school, and I thought, "Man that would be a cool name for a band 'Inde'" If I ever start a band, that's what I'm going to call it. Mack the Knife
Indearing Ghandi A play on "endearing" Indira Ghandi. Mispelled on purpose because the endearment happens from the inside. Mahatma
Indecent Incident We thought this name would look cool on a CD cover, since the words look so much alike, it would be hard to tell what it says at first. This also seems like a name that a very cool logo could be made up for. Kate & Jim
Indecisive Awareness It's just a random name that means "Deciding on Awareness" or DOA. It's not from a show or anything. So that's just too bad. Samula
Indefinition No one knows what it means. hehe. Kadooshka
Indieology   Md
Industrial Park Because It has that posion feeling. Well When I was coming home from LAX I saw a street called Industrial. And there was a park beside it. That's how we got it Andrew
Industrial Stench  I thought this would be a cool name for a metal band. I went past a factory in a car. Lizzard Lady
Industrial Yellow Me and my friend have worked alot of construction jobs and while we were traveling around the US remodeling hotels with just me, him and our boss living and working in the hotels the only the thing that kept us from going crazy was our guitars. We would jam till we passed out and wake up work another 18 hours or so and all of the tools we and our boss had were yellow (industrial yellow) and after staring at that color all frickin day you start to see it every where and it would drive us up the wall so rather than fight it we decided that if we ever had a band that "Industrial Yellow" would be fitting. Chad Perry
Indy Anna  You guessed it. Another all-girl country band, with the members residing in the great state of Indiana. I once wanted to name my daughter Indy Anna. Fortunately, I never had any children. Indyhick
IndyGent I think it would be a great idea for a indy rock band to be named after our Editor. [Ed. note: Thanks, I am so honored. But it has to be a band from Indianapolis. ;)] phamilto
Inedible Shoelace Well it sounds as it it is HARD, and cant be eaten, so if you think about music, we play it hard! Its all good, it works! Kyle P.F.
Inevisting This is a word that I came up with that is the combonation of Inevitable and Sting.  Alex Smith
Inevitable Well i got this from a game, Tribes (PS2) ! It's a tight name huh? I feel famous. ZeniK
Infant Mortality Well, I'm into heavy metal and tried to think up a name for my band when I get one. Then I learned about this term in Geography class, so I thought it would be a good heavy metal band name.  Vampyre:pryde
Infected Chicken Bites I came up with this name when I got food poisoning from Allsup's Popcorn Chicken. Hope to hear someone use it. Schmehr
Inferior Concrete Ok, so, my friend and I were walking down the street one day and we saw a sign on someone's lawn next to their driveway which said "made with superior concrete", so we began to wonder if everything else was just made with inferior concrete. We then decided that Inferior Concrete would be the name of our new band, if we ever got around to forming it. Lisa
Inferno I was playing with a lighter one day, dropped it and set light to a bunch of leaves and bang-the idea hit me. (not literally) Robz
Infierno Is this a band name already? I dunno. as far as i know it means Hell in spanish Nix
Infinity It's from a car brand, and it gives a little bang to it. nathan

Inflateable Dartboard haha...coz its just funny...we were thinking of what things were impossible to have...coz u couldnt have a inflateable dart board coz it would burst!! *feels stupid* KT
Information Overload It's a cool band name for no other reason than I like it! Edward
Ingenue Orchestra We revamped our group and saw this name, which meant new woman with new beginnings or rebirth. Renee Reynolds
Ingrown Toenail Epidemic Of course, ingrown toenails aren't really contagious. But it does make for an infectious rock band. oxy
Inhale Mary It's a play on a commonly heard word grouping, with a bandesque twist Cecil
Inhale the Love Gas This was my band's name. We got it from those 60s spy movies/TV shows where there was always some wierd-colored gas being sprayed into someone's face and they would pass out....Why "Love" Gas...I'm not sure... Steve
Inhaling Peaches This came about, not too long ago, back in high school. A friend and I were listening to Smashing Pumpkins and for some reason i busted out with "Inhaling Peaches!"... ahh high school.. what was I thinking? Adrenalinez
Inherent Losers You know how some people are just born losers? They are inherently dweebs therefore the name Inherent losers Pigertaws
Injustice For All Just thinking about freedoms we don't have but the government does have... Bill Braman
Ink A band of some real idiots went into the Federal Band Name Registration Office to register their name and the form said, "What is your band name? (Write in ink.) So they wrote in "Ink". Whooler
Ink OK, it was this really mean thing my whole grade did to this one girl in 6th grade. We told her there was a band called Ink to see if she would go along with it, and she did. It was really funny cuz all their songs were about pens. This went on for the whole year and she just kept on pretending like she knew what we were talking about, and claimed to see all their new music videos and everything.  Kj
Ink Face Dummie My friend got really wasted and passed out. Well me and my trusty black pen got bored. You'll figure out the rest. Wierd One

Inkrejulus It means like, not easily decieved, or you don't believe many things without proof. I was looking online and found this word, and thought, wow that would look cool spelled like this. (IN-Krej-oooh-lus) AJ Steel
Inner City Express We used it back in the mid-70's because we though ICE was pretty cool!!! Vern Chandler
Inner Transition I was trying to decide what to call my band, when I eventually create one, and I was reading the periodic table for inspiration. Somehow the inner transition metals just struck me as cool. Could be a sort of new age band maybe. subject to change
Innocence Forgotten This would be a cool band name for a girl group who isn't quite as angelic as they seem. cassi
Innocent Bystander i was sitting in my garage playing my guitar when some guy almost got hit by a car when he was walking. i thought that it may represent being a bystander and getting hit by something life-changing Earle
The Innocent Criminals That name, submitted by tbuck61391 is already used (and has been) by Ben Harper's band.  Oliver Clothesoff
The Innocent Criminals Usually, criminals are not too innocent, so I came up with it as sort of an oxymoron.  tbuck61391
Innocent Monkeys The cover of their debut album would show the three band members in "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" poses. Princess Ana
Innocent Of the Knowledge Who said shakespear was good for nothing!!! well, thats mosly trye, but thsi mcbeth quote gave our band this rather random name for our rather random group.........ska-funk-punk-grunge-rock....interesitng Strudel
Innocent Tongues I saw this in a poem by Wilfred Owen, who was a poet in WWI. I thought it was funny because there is so much bad mouthing in music these days. josh manning

Inquisitive Investigators Aren't all investigators inquisitive? THis is a great name for the ex- police investigators who want to start a band! Pigertaws
Insane Cardigan Posse Well, the story to this one is, I always come up with really strange things the second they pop in my head. Plus I have a friend who loves 60's-70's music, and he's a Juggalo, so I came up with the perfect band for him. A mixture of The Cardigans, and Insane Clown Posse.  Rob
Insane Cheesecake I went to a party, and they had chese cake. While walking around, i heard somebody say: Wow, this is insane cheesecake. Voila.  qweww
Insane in the Membrain my friends and i were watching this tv show and all the sudden one pf them said that he seems to be insane in the membrain, we then had a huge laughing fit and it just sounds like an interesting name for a band who could have an image of being a bit insane... alygal
Insane Root Reference to a phrase from Shakespeare's MacBeth Ami
Insanity Its cool because it relates to how some people in the world do not know what to do in life and how life is pretty insane if you think about it. Thats the same reason why I came up with it too!  Shanella erickson
Insanity's Children I was thinking about insanity and how it's a very strange way of looking at life. I use Insanity's_Child for a lot of my screen names and the same name for a lot of my Clans. So yeah, I reckon it's cool. Cameron
Insert brain here Bart writes it on Homers head YASMR
Insert Orange Blancmonge i was just thinkin about blancmonge and insert name, so i combined them tomo

insomniac I was listening to Green Day's "Insomniac", And I thought it would be an awesome band name. :) metal head
Insomniac's Dream Taken from the title of an album by Adema. I like it and think it's cool because it's an oxymoron. You dream when you sleep, and insomnia is not sleeping. You can't dream when you can't sleep now can you? I guess insomniacs dream (imagine) they are sleeping. Anyway I like band names that are ironic or oxymorons and this should be the name of a band somewhere! Edward

Instant Skin When my sister and I were younger, we wanted to be in a band. We started making up names. This was our favorite. The first album would, of course, be "Just Add Water". Tattyfatty
Instant Winner As in, "You may not be an instant winner". I wouldn't mind listening to someone who actually _is_ an instant winner, and knows it. Adam
Instinct I thought it was a cool name because it is like instinct when you think of a band name ward86fan

INTERNAL BLEEDING   its just sounds like a kick ass goregrind band brendo

Internal Essence This name was cool because one of our members was wearing Herbal Essence (Shampoo) in her hair. We liked the fragrance in her hair, so we took the name.  Marcus roberson

International Beat Machines I was wondering what else IBM could stand for... Joe
The Interpreted If you just listen to the words "The Interpreted," it just makes you interpret the band. It makes you think of how you interpret this band as being. It actually came to me while I was writing one of my essays.  DC
Interspirit I think it´s a cool name for a Christian band because this word tries to say there is a relationship between God an us in spirit. And it sounds cool. Luis Barbosa
Into The Fog I think this name is cool because when i listen to my older brothers band it makes me think of my band and our song that talks about a girl that goes in to the fog and never came out. I think it would be a good band name for a sad depressing band that has there heart broken. J.P
Into the Mist  Cpt. Neeb
Intoxicated Butterfly We did this stupid butterfly project back in 6th grade, and I had a friend who was researching this butterfly. The butterfly would go eat rotting fruit, and then become intoxicated. We realized how much of a cool band name that'd be! Brandi
Intoxilyzer It's really just another term for breathilyzer, but doesn't it just sound cool? It would work particularly well for a band that's so hard they leave you feeling intoxicated... Professor Stampede
Intrinsically Linked my mom is an author and she wrote the line in one of her books: 'Yeah, coz your all intrinsically linked'. I just liked it! clanger
Invalid Data Crash that computer and make the world geaux (go) crazy. Bryan Rouyea

Invincible Twinkies As a wise Kwikie Mart store clerk once said, "Silly customer, you cannot hurt a twinkie!" JT

Invisible But There When our teacher used the word invisible, I just thought that you can't have something invisible but still there. So I thought it would make a good band name, because the band could be hip hop. It also sounds catchy. mills

Invisible Insane It's a translation of "out of sight, out of mind". Think about it. Mandy

Irk the Snarky It means annoy those who are annoying!!! It is the foundry of playing music really reeeeeeally loud to annoy old people!!! Irk- strange word, snarky- strange word, the- word most people with a preschool diploma can read. I really want to see a generation of preschoolers headbanging to loud music in place of naptime. L
