Making fun of music, one song at a time. Since the year 2000.

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: | ||
| The Imaginators | Occasionally I've heard someone say "imaginate" when they meant "imagine". | Richard Wetfuss | ||
| Imagining The Campfire | Why is it cool? Does that even need to be answered. A Campfire moment is when you discuss the meanings of life while drunk. But if you want that moment all the time you have to Imagine the campfire! | Whiskin | ||
| Imagining The Campfire | It's a way of defining those personal, intimate moments in life. | Joe | ||
| The Imbecilliacs | cuz its like an idiot disease | Jesse | ||
| Immaculate Comprehension | Why not name a band after something intelligent for a change? Especially for young bookworms. | Roger Ramplane | ||
| Immaculate Rejection | When yet another hot girl turns you down... | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Immersion | It means "surrounded by water". | cody | ||
| Immigrant Kids | Me and my friend were bored in English so we were staring at the books on the shelf. One of the books was called Immigrant Kids, and he thought it would be a cool name for a band, especially a band composed of white guys trying to rap. | penguin | ||
| Imminent Prospect | It means something good will happen soon. | phil | ||
| ImModium | i think its cool because u dont need phrases to come up with a band. U can just make up a cool name like(Aiden,Atticus,) well AT LEAST A Unique name. I cam up with it BEFORE THE ANTI-LAXATIVE WHICH IS SPELLED...........Imodium. But i use unique names | Jake Austin | ||
| The Immortal Millionaires | This sorta started one day when I was watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I started calling it "Who Wants to Be an Immortal Millionaire" because I thought it sounded cool. Immortal millionaires. | Subject to Change | ||
| Imp Slapper | Ever wondered what it might sound like to slap an imp? thought so | beavis | ||
| Impact Proof | I was looking on the back of a trapper and it said "Impact Proof" on it. It kinda reminded me of music blaring on your speakers! | CyberSnake | ||
| Impacted Truth | Another wordplay, this time of "impacted tooth". I just thought it sounded good, and at least one of my teeth was hurting when I thought of it. | Opie M. | ||
| Impala Scholars | Like many rappers, these guys know everything about the '64 Chevy Impala. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Impaled At The Drugstore | While ranting about all the pretentious phrase-ish band names (like "Every Time I Die") in rock, I came up with this off the top of my head and really liked it. It's a perfect name for an Emo band. I can hear the tortured teenage angst already. | Nerrticus | ||
| Imperfect Stranger | Not too sure how i came up with it maybe from the perect stranger album ny deep purple. Im trying to come up with something different for my new band, and kinda like the play on words. | doug | ||
| The Imperial Entanglements | Something Obi-Wan says during the original Star Wars movie. Apparently it's best to avoid them. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Impetuous Youth | From the Simpsons episode where Bart has karate lessons. Bart complains when Akira, the chinese instructor assigns the class a book to read instead of teaching them karate, and Akira's response is "Ahhh, the impetuousness of youth. First you must fill your head with knowledge, then you can break ice with it". Also inspiration for the name 'Ice Break Akira' | metaxus | ||
| Implied Necromancy | It's from a funny YouTube comment I read | dayna | ||
| Imported Air | I took it from a line in Blondie's song Maria. I just think it would make a great band name. The band members would dress stylishly and their music would be stylish as well. | Edward | ||
| Imported From Germany | Because it is. | Hannah | ||
| The Imposing Fathers | My best friend is in a band, and the front man's father is always poking around at their rehearsals, twirling knobs and adjusting microphones and generally being a nuisance. This was suggested to one of the members who was tiring of the band's current name, but was never used. | Jimmy's Dreamgirl | ||
| Impossumble | I was thinking about opossums and how it's IMPOSSUMBLE to find them where I live. Not even as roadkill. I've seen raccoons, squirrels, even a smelly dead skunk but no possum. No badgers either. | Deep Deen | ||
| Impulse | I was flicking through the dictionary when I saw Impulse. It means to do something totally spontaneously, cool or what! | Jo Weaver | ||
| Impune | I got this off a coin. It's Latin for "to do something without consequence". Cool or what? [Ed.'s note: It's actually means 'unpunished'.] | Dan rocks!! | ||
| In Case of Emergency | I looked at a sign that said in case of emergency at a concert I went to and are band decided for that name | Keagan | ||
| In Case Of Fire | Just imagine all the possible endings, ICOF jump out a windiow or summit like that PS: There is actually a band called this! | Doug | ||
| In Close Relation | I came up with it when me and 2 of my cousins were tryin' to name our band. In Close relation shows the connection between the band members. | BLAZE | ||
| In Defiance | It says what where all about,,defying everyone who said that our instruments would never get us anything and that we should become doctors,,,We are In Defiance,, and our thrash/black/heavy metal says it all... | Tim | ||
| In Love With The Stars | Who says love should be limited to people? | Wolfsong | ||
| In Loving Memory | This was a cool band name. I didn't create it, but a group of friends did after my boyfriend died and and decided "In Loving Memory" they would dedicate their band name to him and no one seemed to have In Loving Memory which was the last name they chose as a joke but hey it worked and they broke up after a year but hey at least they did a couple shows before they did so! | Kate | ||
| In My Pants | I thought it was funny because when someone introduces your band, they say, "Now the band, In My Pants, will play." or something like that. | Holly | ||
| In One Piece | Well there's a crappy boyband called busted and this is the opposite of busted. Alternativel;, All In One Piece | Az | ||
| In The Sink | I just thought 'In The Sink' would make a great band name. Well, for our school we have a talent show every year, and our teachers came up with an act and a dance. They named their band 'In The Sink' and I thought that name could make a reasonable name. | jaylo | ||
| In-the-sink | I read in MAD magazine once that Justin Timberlake's grandma thought this was what "NSYNC" was. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Inability Not To Suck | I read on a message board a topic called What is wrong with Chris Rix? (former Florida State quarterback) The best response, by far, was Inability not to suck. It's cool because it's a double negative that says that the band does, in fact, suck. | Tom | ||
| Inanimate Anemones Anonymous | Actually my friends called their trivia team that. Not only is it hard to spell, but try saying it five times fast. | Persephone | ||
| Inbred Abberation | I read it on some website a while ago. An abberation could mean: "A disorder or abnormal alteration in one's mental state." Inbred would just mean that you were born with it. | Johnny | ||
| The Incandescent Llamas | The Spanish for "open flames" is "llamas incandscentes," which can also be translated as "Incandescent Llamas," if you're perverse. I saw it on the back of a can of cleaning spray. | Red Tim | ||
| Incas of Emergency | I saw it on a Japanese fire map, and thought it would be kinda cool on the marquee, you know, Incas that only respond to major disasters and such. | Mazotti | ||
| Incas of Emergency | From a sign seen on engrish.com. It was supposed to say "In case of Emergency", but the translator got it wrong. | Sylvia Viridian | ||
| The Incas Of Emergency | Saw it on engrish.com as a piece of badly spelled Japanese-English (In Case Of Emergency). Just really sounded cool. | Franklin Delano Romanowski | ||
| Incessant Peppermint | A wordplay on the song "incense And Peppermint" by Strawberry Alarm Clock, because the freshness of incessant peppermints would last forever. | Odie Garfield | ||
| Incestation | Just came from a random yet sick phrase mixed with anther idea for a name Infestation.........Incest......fun for the whole family | Sound_Sham | ||
| Incline Out Saturn | LOOOK AT IT | Jesse Anderson | ||
| 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 | ||
| Indian Head | The name of a town in Maryland. I was looking at my dad's road map and saw it and was like "What the heck?" Lol. | Jake | ||
| INDICA | Pot variety | Jack | ||
| Indieology | Md | |||

| Indra's Fist | Me and Tirza came up with it. | Chazm | ||
| Industrial Deafness | There's this advert on the UK sports stations about Industrial Deafness and i always think it would make a good thrash metal band name. | crazyj | ||
| 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. | ||
| Inertia | It's a good name for a band. It just sounds cool. Could be rock or pop. | Edward | ||
| Inevisting | This is a word that I came up with that is the combonation of Inevitable and Sting. | Alex Smith | ||

| 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 | ||
| Infernal Equinox | A wordplay on "vernal equinox", which is the start of spring. For those that hate spring, which isn't too many people. | Rock Maninoff | ||
| 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 | ||
| Infestival | A portmanteau word combining "infest" and "festival". I thought of how it might make an interesting ambivalent band name. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Infidel Castro | It's a pun/a play on words. An intentionally non-sensical combination of: a. Fidel Castro (an historical Cuban revolutionary) & b. Infidel - (noun) An unbeliever in a particular faith or religion (most commonly, Muslim). | Lee Doucette | ||
| Infierno | Is this a band name already? I dunno. as far as i know it means Hell in spanish | Nix | ||
| The Infiltrators | I don't know I just like it. It sounds kind of rebellious and cool at the same time. If this isn't the name of a band it should be. | Edward | ||
| Infinity | It's from a car brand, and it gives a little bang to it. | nathan | ||
| Inflate Jumbo Monkey | I saw it in a catologue once and the discription was Inflate jumbo monkey. My friends and i would just say it all the time 4 no reason wut so ever | Rebel Fire | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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 | ||
